Hey guys! Just a quick understanding and advice on which protocol is best in terms of security and speed. I understand wireguard is preferred but if that is not possible to connect due to restrictions and bans, which among the other two is next best?
I am assuming openvpn using udp but please share insights and reasoning.
TIA!
WireGuard is considered faster and more reliable than OpenVPN, with comparable security and encryption. WireGuard is also known for being stable and reliable for mobile networks. WireGuard uses the UDP protocol and can be configured to use any port.
OpenVPN is considered the most secure VPN protocol, with near-unbreakable encryption. It’s also open source, so users can check the source code for vulnerabilities.
IKEv2 is often paired with IPSec to create a secure VPN tunnel. IKEv2/IPSec is considered lightweight and adequately secure. IKEv2 is a standard protocol that’s natively supported by many operating systems.
Thanks for this. So best bet is to use OpenVPN in absence of wireguard. Shame, because I am getting better speeds and connectivity with IKEv2.
Govt. unable to connect to windscribe via wireguard constantly. Sometimes it stops working altogether, even when connected. Tried default app and third party wireguard app too with multiple ports and configurations.
On the other hand, tested IKEv2 and openvpn udp, they worked well.
feasible
Idk much but I know some DPI would block Wireguard
Yeah this might be causing it to not establish a connection
If DPI is blocking wireguard 99% it’s also blocking OpenVPN and ikev2. Try running xray/XTLS reality
Not sure about that, seems very technical. Anything else I can run to check?
GitHub - SasukeFreestyle/XTLS-Iran-Reality: Xray-core (V2ray) Server with Reality Protocol for bypassing internet censorship in Iran. is a simple guide you can use
Will take a look, thanks!
iVPN has the v2ray obfuscation built in, try that
