If you’re using Real-Debrid and notice you’re always connected to a specific server, like HKG (Hong Kong), and want to switch to a different server (e.g., SGP – Singapore) for better performance, there are a few things you can do to influence the server selection. While Real-Debrid does not allow direct manual selection of specific servers, you can adjust the settings to potentially switch to a faster server. Here’s how:
How to Change Real-Debrid Server
Step 1: Perform a Speed Test
The first step to identify the best server for your connection is by running a speed test on Real-Debrid. Here’s how:
- Go to real-debrid.com/speedtest.
- Run the test to see which server offers the fastest speed for your location. The speed test will show you the available servers and their performance.
- Based on the results, the SGP (Singapore) server may appear faster than HKG.
Step 2: Change CDN Settings
Although Real-Debrid doesn’t allow you to directly select a specific server (like SGP or HKG), you can adjust your Content Delivery Network (CDN) settings to influence which server you connect to. Here’s how to do that:
- Log into your Real-Debrid account.
- Go to your Account Settings.
- Look for the CDN settings section. Your options are:
- Automatic: Real-Debrid will automatically choose the best server based on various factors, like your location and speed test results.
- Cloudflare: You can select this option to use Cloudflare’s CDN network, which may offer different routes and potentially faster connections.
- Disabled: Disabling CDN may prompt Real-Debrid to connect you to a different, randomly chosen server.
By disabling the CDN, Real-Debrid will automatically pick a different server, possibly connecting you to SGP or another server with better performance.
Step 3: Monitor Server Selection
After making changes to your CDN settings, Real-Debrid will adjust the server connection based on what’s available and performing optimally. However, keep in mind:
- Real-Debrid may automatically revert to its default server settings after a period, so if the performance drops again, you may need to repeat the steps.
- You can’t permanently select a specific server, but adjusting the settings can help in temporarily switching to a different, faster server.
Conclusion
Although you can’t directly pick specific servers like SGP in Real-Debrid, performing a speed test and adjusting CDN settings can help you get a better connection. Disabling CDN may force a switch to a different server, potentially improving your experience when HKG goes down. If you ever find the server performance degrading, you can always repeat these steps to check for faster alternatives.
For the best ongoing performance, regularly running the speed test on Real-Debrid and tweaking your settings may help you stay on top of any server issues.
