Reasons for low speed

  • Geographical distance: A large distance between you and the proxy server.

  • Speed ​​limit: Intentional limitation by the provider/VPN.

  • Slow website operation: Temporary failure of the target website.

  • Internet speed limit in the country: Technically undeveloped countries.

Solution options

If one of the solution steps did not help you, proceed to the next step.

  1. Make sure that the target website works correctly without using a proxy.

  2. Make sure that the average speed to the connected country is not lower than you expect from the proxy. View the average speed.

  3. Generate a new connection/session.

  4. Set the session time to 3 minutes.

  5. Change the protocol to http.

  6. Set targeting to the capital city.

  7. Set targeting to the largest provider in the country.

  8. Use a dedicated server as close as possible to the country of connection.
