Proximity to VPN servers and their congestion can influence your connection speeds. That’s why connecting to specific server locations — especially those closest to your physical location — can reduce latency. The shorter distance your data has to travel means faster response times and quicker data transfer. Additionally, connecting to a less crowded server can improve bandwidth availability and overall connection speeds.
