Are there any geographic restrictions on using idx due to its slow performance in certain regions, such as Yemen, where I am required to utilize a VPN for every project launch?

IDX has servers in various regions worldwide, so you get routed to the closest server depending on where you are accessing from. Adding a VPN could slow things down. What is your internet connection speed (up/down)?

Thanks,
