Fixing Internet error in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds on iPhone
Step 1 Go to the official App Store. Since this fix works for Android devices as well, you must open the Google Play Store.
Step 2 Search for Opera VPN and install the app on your device. You can also install any other VPN app but Opera VPN is completely free to use and does the trick.
Step 3 Launch the app from your home screen. Once it prompts you to add the necessary VPN configuration, tap Allow.
Step 4 Go to Settings > General > VPN and ensure Opera VPN is connected properly.
Step 5 Go back to Opera VPN and tap on Switch Location option present under the Device Location section. Although there are several other options in the app, simply changing the device’s location will suffice in this case.
Step 6 Opera VPN selects the closest location automatically, which may or may not be optimal. Change your location to the Netherlands.
Step 7 You can now play PUBG without any internet or network error constantly pestering you.
