Guide
Pick a nearby FollowNet server — Optimal location and Speed Test
Lower ping usually means snappier browsing. Optimal location ranks reachable servers by latency — it does not unlock catalogs.
What to know
Server modes: Fastest (low latency), Last used, Specific (pin a city). Free sees the core map; Premium unlocks the wider map shown in the app.
How to use it
Run Speed Test without VPN, then with Fastest / Optimal, then with a Specific city if you need a region. Change one variable at a time.
Limits and honest expectations
A farther Premium city can still win if the nearby node is congested. Streaming geo rules are not solved by ping.
