WiFi insecure - Use a VPN
Travelling to China - Use a VPN
Facebook blocked - Use a VPN
ISP Throttling - Use a VPN

A VPN protocol determines exactly how your data routes between your device and to the destination server. Protocols have different specifications, offering benefits to users in a range of circumstances. For instance, some have better performance in your network, while other protocols might be throttled or not accessible.

So, now you have the knowledge that which protocol is best suited for your requirements. If you are an existing fermium plan user, reinstall the app to use all range of VPN protocols. If you haven't subscribed to our FREE Plan, do it now.
