    "It sounds like you're experiencing frequent connectivity issues with F-Secure’s VPN service in Falkenstein. Persistent VPN connection problems can stem from several factors, including server load, regional restrictions, or network congestion.

    Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help stabilize your connection:

    1. Switch Servers: If possible, try connecting to a different server near Falkenstein. Sometimes switching to a less congested server helps with connection stability.
    2. Check Network Stability: Ensure your internet connection is stable. Weak or fluctuating Wi-Fi signals can impact VPN performance.
    3. Update VPN Software: Make sure your VPN client is fully up-to-date. F-Secure may release updates to improve stability and fix connection issues.
    4. Restart Devices and Router: Sometimes, a simple device or router restart can reset network settings and clear minor connection errors.
    5. Disable Firewalls Temporarily: In some cases, firewalls or antivirus settings can interfere with VPN connections. Temporarily disabling them may improve the connection, but remember to enable them afterward.

    If issues persist, F-Secure's support might offer more targeted assistance."

    I think, it is the Falkensteinserver it self what is slow.

    I live in germany and i use austria or denmarkservers primary, because they are much faster than the falkensteinserver.

    Maybe the Falkesteinserver needs an hardwareupgrade to handle all the users they connect with it.
