- Disconnect VPN, switch to another region, and connect;
- If you like to stay in the same region, try disconnect and reconnect to the same region. Even you are selecting the same region, there are actually hundreds of servers behind a single region. Every time you connect, we will relocate a different server for you.
- You can repeat above steps until you find the best server for you.
