  2. Select specific server and check VPN connection.

Please note. Servers include DIRECT and REJECT.

DIRECT - a policy where traffic is sent directly, bypassing the VPN server.

REJECT - a policy that blocks all network traffic.

When VPN is not needed, you can simply select DIRECT instead of disabling the program.

Please note. The best performance is achieved when using a wired connection. The speed is affected by the geographical distance from the VPN server, the backbone internet provider channels between the check points, the current channel load at your Internet provider and the VPN server, the tariff plan of your Internet connection and other factors that cannot be influenced from the outside.

If selected location is unstable, just try to select another one to get optimal internet access.
