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 allows VPN traffic to be routed through a proxy server, providing an additional layer of security and privacy. You can choose the type of proxy for your connection, with two available options: SSH and Shadow SOCKS.
