How to optimize your VPN performance using OpenVPN Connect

OpenVPN Connect is a fast and secure VPN app, but sometimes you may want to optimize your VPN performance to get better speeds and stability. Here are some tips and tricks on how to optimize your VPN performance using OpenVPN Connect:

  • Use a server that’s close to you: The distance between your device and the VPN server can affect your VPN speed and reliability. The farther the server is, the longer it takes for data packets to travel between them, and the more likely they are to encounter network congestion or interference. To optimize your VPN performance, try using a server that’s close to your physical location, or at least in the same region. You can check the server list in the OpenVPN Connect app and choose a server with low latency and load.
  • Use OpenVPN over UDP: OpenVPN can use either TCP or UDP as the underlying protocol for data transmission. TCP is more reliable but slower, while UDP is faster but less reliable. By default, OpenVPN Connect uses UDP, which is more suitable for VPN connections. However, some networks may block or throttle UDP traffic, causing connection issues or slowdowns. To optimize your VPN performance, try switching between TCP and UDP in the OpenVPN Connect settings and see which one works better for you.
  • Use a different port: Some networks may block or limit VPN traffic on certain ports, especially the default port 1194 used by OpenVPN. This can prevent you from connecting to the VPN server or reduce your VPN speed. To optimize your VPN performance, try using a different port in the OpenVPN Connect settings, preferably one that’s less likely to be blocked or restricted by firewalls or ISPs. For example, you can try port 443, which is used by HTTPS traffic and is usually open on most networks.
  • Use a different encryption cipher: OpenVPN Connect allows you to choose the encryption cipher and compression algorithm for your VPN connection. You can choose between AES-256-CBC, AES-128-CBC, or BF-CBC ciphers, and enable or disable compression. AES-256-CBC is the most secure but slowest cipher, while BF-CBC is the least secure but fastest cipher. Compression can reduce bandwidth usage but may also reduce security. To optimize your VPN performance, try experimenting with different ciphers and compression options in the OpenVPN Connect settings and see which one offers the best balance between security and speed.
  • Use a proxy server: OpenVPN Connect allows you to configure a proxy server for your VPN connection. You can choose between HTTP or SOCKS proxies, and enter the proxy address, port, username, and password. A proxy server can help you bypass network restrictions or improve performance by routing your VPN traffic through an intermediate server. To optimize your VPN performance, try using a proxy server that’s close to your location or the VPN server location, and make sure it’s fast and reliable .

How to use OpenVPN Connect with other applications and services

OpenVPN Connect is a versatile VPN app that can work with other applications and services to enhance your online experience. Here are some examples of how to use OpenVPN Connect with other applications and services:

  • Use OpenVPN Connect with 2FA: 2FA (two-factor authentication) is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts. It requires you to enter a code or a token in addition to your username and password when you sign in. Some VPN providers support 2FA for their VPN servers, which means you need to enter a code or a token when you connect to the VPN server using OpenVPN Connect. You can use various 2FA apps or devices to generate the code or the token, such as Google Authenticator, Authy, YubiKey, or Duo.
  • Use OpenVPN Connect with SAML: SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between different parties. Some VPN providers support SAML for their VPN servers, which means you can use your existing identity provider (such as Okta, OneLogin, or Azure AD) to authenticate and authorize your VPN connection using OpenVPN Connect. This way, you can use the same credentials and policies that you use for other applications and services.
  • Use OpenVPN Connect with CloudConnexa™ Cyber Shield: CloudConnexa™ Cyber Shield is a feature that protects you from cyber threats without requiring you to tunnel internet traffic. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and block malicious domains, phishing sites, malware, ransomware, botnets, and more. Some VPN providers support CloudConnexa™ Cyber Shield for their VPN servers, which means you can enable it in the OpenVPN Connect settings and enjoy a safer and faster internet experience.
  • Use OpenVPN Connect with split tunneling: Split tunneling is a feature that allows you to choose which apps or websites use the VPN connection and which ones don’t. This way, you can access both local and foreign content at the same time, or optimize your bandwidth usage and performance. Some VPN providers support split tunneling for their VPN servers, which means you can configure it in the OpenVPN Connect settings and customize your VPN experience.
