Common factors contributing to network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN in use)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you might consider the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Evaluate various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data network.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to a different server within that region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the best server that meets your needs.
