If the VPN interface does not achieve the desired speed due to encryption overhead, selecting "None" for encryption can enable an end-to-end connection at maximum speed. If maximum speed is not required, you may retain the default encryption settings.

4. Enable Socks Proxy

  • A SOCKS proxy routes VPN traffic through a proxy server, adding an extra layer of security and privacy. The available proxy types are SSH and Shadow SOCKS.
