### How to choose the best server?

*It is important to understand that selecting a server, with an unstable network in China, can be a useful exercise only at the current time, and in a minute the information may no longer be relevant, so use the following instructions only for an approximate understanding.*

1. Run the program and turn off VPN (Clean System Proxy)
2. ctrl+A - select all servers
3. ctrl+R - start the connection testing process
4. wait a long time until the test results appear in the right column
5. ctrl+E - sort servers by connection. If you see -1, then the server could not be connected. If for several days the same server with a mark of -1, report to support.
