Protocols & Performance

Is a VPN the same as a proxy or Tor?

No, a VPN, a proxy, and Tor serve similar goals, hiding your IP and protecting privacy, but work differently:

VPN encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a secure server, protecting all apps and devices on your network.
Proxy only reroutes traffic from a specific app or browser and usually does not encrypt your data, so it’s less secure.
Tor routes traffic through multiple volunteer servers for anonymity, making it very private, but slower and less practical for streaming or gaming.

Should I use VLESS to bypass geo-blocks?

VLESS with XTLS/REALITY is designed for stealth and firewall evasion, making your VPN traffic look like regular browsing. It can help bypass restrictions in highly censored regions.

What VPN protocol should I choose?

The right VPN protocol depends on your needs and environment:

WireGuard → Best for most users. It’s fast, secure, and reliable, making it ideal for streaming, gaming, and everyday browsing.

VPNOverHTTPS→ Perfect if you live in or travel to countries with heavy censorship. It disguises your VPN traffic as normal HTTPS, making it very hard to block.

VLESS→ Recommended for those facing strict firewalls. It mimics real websites, making your VPN traffic nearly impossible to detect.
