Note: To manually choose a VPN protocol, start by disconnecting from the PureVPN app. Once you do that, you can see the different protocols available by turning off the “Automatic Protocol” selection.
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.
Proxy:
Proxy provides the fastest VPN connection but it does not offer encryption. If you are looking to browse the internet with fast speed then proxy might be the best option you should use.
