1. Run simulations/synthesis only on command mode
2. Use GUI only for post-simulation debugging – Check with the technical support team if you
are not sure
3. Avoid running the video streaming applications like YouTube /
4. Netflix/Prime Video while working on the VPN access – This reduces your internet bandwidth
and reduces the speed of VPN access
