VPN protocols on DexterVPN

DexterVPN plans support for WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2 on compatible platforms. Choose the protocol that fits your network — switch in the app when one is blocked or slow.

WireGuard

WireGuard is a lightweight VPN protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography and typically offers fast connection setup and efficient performance. It is well suited to mobile and desktop use when low latency matters, though network conditions and server load still affect real-world speed.

OpenVPN

OpenVPN is a long-established open-source VPN protocol that supports both UDP (often faster) and TCP (sometimes better on restrictive networks). Its flexibility and track record make it a common fallback when newer protocols are blocked or unstable.

IKEv2

IKEv2 (with IPsec) is a VPN protocol pair commonly chosen for mobile devices because it reconnects quickly when you switch between Wi-Fi and cellular. It can perform well on networks that prefer established standards, though availability depends on platform support.
