These are VPN protocols.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are VPN Protocols?<\/h2>\n<p>A VPN software comes loaded with different protocols. While the term protocol sounds way too technical, it\u2019s really not that hard to understand.\u00a0\u00a0VPN protocol is just the way your data will be sent over the network. Each protocol will connect you to the VPN server but the method in which you\u2019re connected will be different.<\/p>\n<p>Any good VPN Company will give you a choice of protocols so you can select the right one for your needs. But how do you find the right one?<br>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Guide to VPN protocols<\/h3>\n<p>There are several different types of VPN protocols and we\u2019ll discuss the most common ones here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PPTP<\/strong>: So old, I wonder why it\u2019s still in use. It can hardly be considered secure by today\u2019s standards. The only thing going for it is that it can run on old devices and is fast. So if you\u2019re not looking for security and are just concerned about streaming HD movies, this one can be good for you.Also, it works on almost all platforms and is pretty stable. And since its level of encryption is pretty low, it doesn\u2019t consume many resources.<br>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>L2TP\/IPSec<\/strong>: Not the most secure but better than PPTP. There have been rumors that L2TP has been compromised by the NSA. If you believe in rumors and are looking for complete security, I\u2019d suggest skipping this protocol.<br>\nBut the good thing is that it encrypts the data twice so it\u2019s definitely more secure than PPTP. This one can also run on a large number of platforms.<br>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>SSTP<\/strong>: More secure than L2TP and can bypass even those firewalls that block L2TP connections. However, it\u2019s supported only on Windows devices, so it won\u2019t work on any other platforms like your Android or iPhone.<br>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>IKEv2<\/strong>: A pretty secure and stable protocol. The problem? It\u2019s not supported on all devices. Generally used for mobile platforms, it offers fast connections and high security.It allows network switching efficiently. So if you\u2019re on your mobile 4G and want to switch to a Wi-Fi, IKEv2 will let you do it without losing connectivity.<br>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>OpenVPN<\/strong>: The most secure protocol and is available on all devices. While it might slow down the connection a bit because of its high level of encryption, most connections are fast these days and slight speed drops are hardly noticeable.Due to its security, availability, and stability, OpenVPN has become the crowd favorite. While it\u2019s highly configurable, it can be difficult to set up and mostly depends on third-party software tools. Not a problem though, because most VPN companies provide their own apps.<br>\n\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Best VPN Encryption Protocol<\/h3>\n<p>Different protocols have different attributes. Some offer higher security while others offer faster speeds. Which one is right for you? It depends on your needs. Each protocol has its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed options like PPTP, L2TP, or OpenVPN in your VPN software and wondered what they are?
