Your connection’s speed and dependability are greatly influenced by the VPN protocol you use. Choosing the right protocol while connecting to a VPN server is essential. Utilizing the automated protocol to determine the best connection setup for your requirements, ExtremeVPN suggests several protocols depending on your needs.

• TCP: TCP is more reliable but slightly slower. It’s commonly used for web browsing.

To switch protocols, use the following commands:
