Having issues with your connection? Here are some common troubleshooting steps:

Connection Drops Frequently

Check your internet stability, try a different protocol, or connect to a server closer to your location.

Slow Connection Speed

Try changing to a different protocol (WireGuard typically offers the best speeds), or connect to a less congested server.

Cannot Connect at All

Verify your credentials, check if the server is online from your dashboard, and ensure your firewall isn't blocking the connection.
