While connecting with VPN, my virtual IP address is detected in the wrong country. What should I do?
This issue may be caused by IP geolocation databases that provide different results for the same IP address. This, in turn, may happen if the databases are not updated regularly. Try checking the current IP geolocation here.
You can try to reestablish the VPN connection or contact our customer support via [email protected]. We will contact the appropriate providers and IP database operators to notify about the issue and make the location of our servers be recognized correctly.

General: I’m getting low connection speed with VPN. What to do?
We provide the maximum possible connection speed for the current conditions. However, the conditions for your connection may vary because of the current workload on the selected VPN server and the distance from you to the selected VPN server. Also, there is always a chance of slowdown because of your ISP throttling VPN protocols. We cannot control these circumstances.
So, as a suggestion, try to connect to a several servers that are geographically closer to you, and check the performance.
Also, if you've enabled KeepSolid Wise, it might decrease the speed. Please, try to switch to a different VPN protocol in the Settings of the VPN Unlimited app, and check the performance again.
