  "textContent": "jonah:\n\n> Why are you switching servers so excessively in a 30 day period anyways?\n\nThere are a number of legit reasons for switching servers:\n\n  * Many websites / services block some Mullvad servers but not others.\n  * Sometimes a connection to a preferred server will be slow due to network characteristics so switching is necessary to get acceptable speeds.\n  * The Mullvad app will automatically cycle servers when it encounters connectivity issues with your chosen server - whether user-side connectivity issues or server-side.\n\n\n\nI was connected to Mullvad on my phone yesterday and walked into a building with poor reception. I checked the Mullvad application and saw it rapidly cycling through my list of preferred servers trying to find one it could connect to. That’s typical behavior with a VPN, no?\n\nIt’s encouraging to see the Mullvad team taking this so seriously, though, as it seems like some improvements could and should happen on their end.",
