Optimizing Your Connection Speed

Simple tips to get the fastest possible speeds while staying protected.

1

Pick a nearby server

The closer the server, the lower the latency. Choose a server in your country or region for everyday browsing and streaming.

2

Check your base connection

Run a speed test with the VPN disconnected first. A VPN can never be faster than your underlying internet connection.

3

Switch servers if needed

If a server feels slow, it may be under heavy load. Switching to another nearby server usually solves it instantly.

4

Prefer stable networks

Use a wired connection or a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network when possible, and restart the app after changing networks to re-establish the optimal route.
