Automatic (recommended)Top ?

This is the default setting. OpenVPN will first attempt to connect using the UDP protocol before attempting to connect using the TCP protocol.

TCPTop ?

This setting uses port 443 and TCP traffic. TCP is best for Wi-Fi Hotspots and commercial networks. This option may be slower than UDP.

UDPTop ?

This setting uses port 1194 and UDP traffic. This is best for streaming media. This option may be faster than TCP. It may be necessary to open port 1194 in your router if you have difficulty using the mode.

L2TP/IPSecTop ?

If you are unable to connect using OpenVPN you can select the L2TP/IPSec option to connect using the L2TP/IPSec protocol. It may be necessary to open ports 1701, 500, and 4500 in your Firewall and/ or router to connect using this protocol.
