To switch between protocols in the FireSideVPN app, you need to disconnect first. You can view the VPN protocol by disabling the “Automatic Protocol Selection” option.

The VPN protocol type influences the performance and stability of your connection. Ensure you choose the correct protocol when connecting to a VPN server. While FireSideVPN recommends the automatic protocol for its ability to select the most suitable connection setting, if it doesn’t work for you, you can proceed to switch between different protocols.

Protocol Guide:

– Wireguard: (Recommended)

Wireguard provides a fast and secure VPN connection and it’s usually used for web browsing and streaming.

– UDP:

UDP is mainly used for streaming and downloading. It provides a fast VPN connection with medium encryption.

– TCP:

TCP is more reliable, but also a little slower, and is usually used for web browsing.

– IKEv2:

IKEv2 is one of the fastest VPN protocols that provides stable connection and is usually used for streaming and downloading.
