Connection drops with Betternet often, any reliable fixes?

If Betternet drops your connection often, the core issue is usually an unstable VPN tunnel rather than your internet itself.

Start by switching to a different server/location — congestion on popular free servers is a frequent cause of drops.

Make sure your device’s battery saver, data saver, or network optimization features are turned off, since Android and Windows aggressively kill background VPN processes if they think the app isn’t actively used.

Updating both the Betternet app and your device’s OS also removes many known bugs that trigger disconnects.

If Betternet lets you choose protocols, pick TCP/IKEv2 over UDP, as they’re more stable on unreliable networks.

Testing on a different network (mobile data instead of Wi-Fi) helps determine if your ISP or router settings are contributing.

This is the information we have, but if you have more insights from your experience, please share in the comments.
