PlanetVPN Update Removed Manual Server Selection and Forces Netherlands Server

1

I had been using PlanetVPN on my Windows computer for a long time without any problems. I particularly preferred connecting to the Germany server because I was satisfied with both the internet speed and the overall connection quality. However, after the latest update, the application introduced a “recommended location” feature, and I can now only connect to the recommended location.

Because of this feature, the system automatically connects me to a server in the Netherlands every time, and I am no longer able to select the Germany server manually. When connected to the Netherlands server, my internet speed drops significantly. I get around 20 FPS in games, and I cannot even watch YouTube videos properly. I did not experience these problems when I was able to connect to the Germany server, but the new update has made the service much less useful for me.

I request that PlanetVPN restore the ability for users to manually select the server of their choice. In particular, I want to be able to connect to the Germany server again and use the service with the connection quality I previously had. I hope PlanetVPN will review this change and make the necessary adjustments so that users are not forced to use an automatically selected location.
