After performing tests on multiple devices, we have realized that there is an issue with the sending and receiving buffers when connecting through the UDP tunnel, which slows down the connection speed, in the OpenVPN client. This has occurred only on Windows 7 platform but did not take place on Windows 10 platform or with TCP connections.

A TAP Driver's sole responsibility is tunneling to create a network bridge. Unlike most network adapters that are supported by hardware, a TAP adapter is purely backed by software. In this guide, we will show you how to resolve common issues when installing TAP driver on Windows.

OpenVPN is an advanced open source VPN solution or security protocol developed by OpenVPN Technologies. It is the most popular protocol used by VPN providers as it provides a highly secured and reliable connection. It features a 256-bit encryption which is considered a military grade encryption.

As the internet progressed technologically so did its risks. The introduction of the revolutionary internet connection paved the way for a new category of crimes called cybercrimes. These included hacking attacks, identity thefts, fraud, and many more. The most recent risk that hit the World Wide Web is the "Ransomware".

There is no such thing as a perfect system. Sometimes VPNs fail to fulfill their purpose due to internal and external factors, such as: DNS leaks. DNS leaks greatly jeopardize a VPN user's inbound and outbound traffic to be exposed to ISPs without a warning. That is why, in this guide we will show you how to identify and fix VPN DNS leaks

iOS provides options to VPN configuration by using L2TP, IKev2 and PPTP. In this guide, we will show you step-by-step instructions to be able to setup L2TP on iOS devices without any hassle. You can follow these instructions with any VPN service.

We have selected 2 tunneling protocols (OpenVPN and IKev2) to help you get a better idea about encryption protocols and the different features provided by each one.

L2TP, short for "Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol", is one of the most popularly used encryption protocols with VPN services using UDP port 1701. L2TP is an extension of PPP protocol, however, it is more secure and technologically advanced than its predecessor, PPTP.

As IPv4 is slowly being depleted and replaced with IPv6 to provide internet users all over the planet with enough IP addresses for the upcoming future, a lot of platforms and applications have not yet transitioned to support IPv6, leading to several problems. For example, VPN users are subjected to IP and DNS leaks.

Mac OS users face a lot of challenges and unpleasant connection issues with IPv6. Mac users who also use VPN services while surfing the web are liable to serious security breaches due to the fact that a lot of VPN services are not compatible with IPv6 yet.
