How do I choose a server in United States?

Start with the closest city for better routing. If performance is unstable, try another city within the same country or switch protocols.

What if the speed is not ideal?

Try another city first. Then switch protocols in settings (AnyTLS by default, Hysteria2 for speed, Trojan for compatibility).

Do I need to keep VPN always on?

Not necessarily. For specific apps/sites, split tunneling / GeoIP routing can reduce unnecessary detours while keeping sensitive traffic protected.

What should I prioritize for gaming?

Latency and jitter: choose a closer city, avoid peak congestion, and prefer stable protocols.

If gaming doesn’t work, is it always VPN-related?

Not always. Platforms may change rules by account/region/device. Try another city in the same country, switch protocols, and verify if the platform is having issues.
