Before changing between protocols in the FireSideVPN app, it’s important to disconnect first. You can check and adjust the VPN protocol by disabling the “Automatic Protocol Selection” option.

The VPN protocol you choose can impact the performance and stability of your connection, so it’s crucial to select the right one when connecting to a VPN server. FireSideVPN suggests using the automatic protocol, as it will pick the most suitable connection setting for you. However, if the automatic protocol doesn’t work for you, feel free to switch between different protocols manually.
