“Why should I use a VPN?”
For the video call to be clear and interruption-free, the transmitted data between you and your partner must travel through a fast route. However, online restrictions can sometimes block or limit data, resulting in a low-quality video call with lags or interruptions. It is not about your internet speed. It is about how well your Internet provider’s route connects you with people in other countries.
With a VPN, you can test different routes through different countries. This way, you could improve your experience on the site.
For example, my internet provider in Ukraine can not get me a quick route to the US users, but the internet provider in Italy can. So I use a VPN to connect to Italy to use the internet connection (and the routing) of the Italian internet service provider to reach the US users.
“When should I use a VPN?”
Maybe your internet has a good speed, but it’s not the most critical aspect, as mentioned before. If you only see the loading spinner with your chat partners and don’t see their webcam images, try restarting your device and your internet/WiFi router first. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, then YES! You should use a VPN.
Which VPNs do we recommend?
For the moment, we can recommend the following VPN providers that also work on mobile devices:
– expressvpn.com
– cyberghostvpn.com
– protonvpn.com
They have a trial, but usually, it is worth investing in a good VPN as this results in better earnings.
How to use a VPN
Here are the general steps to use a VPN:
- Download and install the VPN software. Follow the instructions provided by the VPN service provider to download and install the VPN software on your device.
- Open the VPN software and sign in using your account credentials.
- Choose a server location and click the “Connect” button to establish a VPN connection.
- Once logged in, you can start testing how the site works with the chosen country.
- When you are finished using the VPN, be sure to disconnect from the VPN server.
“I tried all VPNs, and still nothing works”
If you tried all VPNs and it doesn’t help either, you should go offline for a while.
