Selecting a VPN protocol

The speed and availability of VPN depend on the region you are connecting from. If you notice slower speeds or if VPN is unavailable, try using a different protocol.

You can select from 3 options:

• Auto

  This option lets Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection select the optimal protocol for your current connection.

• Catapult Hydra

  This protocol works well for long-distance connections. Select it if your physical location is far from the virtual location you want to connect to.

• WireGuard

  This is a globally trusted open-source protocol that provides high connection speeds even on low-performance devices. The WireGuard protocol uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 data encryption.

To select a VPN protocol:

1. Open Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection.
2. Tap > Settings > Protocol.
3. Tap the protocol you want to select.

   The protocol is changed.

Please note that to change the protocol, you must first turn off the VPN connection.
