Choosing a faster HorizonVPN protocol

The fastest protocol depends on your network. Some networks allow high-speed UDP traffic, while others filter or inspect VPN traffic and need a compatibility-focused mode.

Fastest starting points

• Auto: best default because HorizonVPN can choose a suitable option
• UDP: high-speed WireGuard tunnel optimized for low latency and everyday use
• UDP Plus: reliable OpenVPN UDP tunnel when you need broad compatibility

When speed is blocked by filtering

• Stealth: obfuscated tunnel that disguises VPN traffic
• HTTP: high-performance HTTP-based tunnel for heavily filtered networks
• HTTP Plus: streaming-optimized HTTP tunnel for reliability under filtering
• HTTP Max: maximum compatibility HTTP tunnel for aggressive traffic inspection
• TLS: VLESS TCP Reality Vision profile for restrictive networks
