  • Verify that the VPN server is having a lower latency < 200 ms

  • Try IPSec with IKEv2 VPN protocol
  • Enable the Lockdown Mode or Camouflage feature and retry the connection.
  • Restart your Router; Your router may cache an IP with Enabled Bandwidth Throttling mechanism.
  • Temporarily disable any firewalls or anti-virus software on your computer and retry the connection.
  • Try another internet connection, some types of connections are particularly problematic such as public hotspots, cellular hotspots and hotel internet connections.
  • Try another device as there may be an issue with your local device. Our service works with many different devices
