PROTOCOLS

The right tunnel for every network.

Six protocols, each tuned for a different situation — from blazing-fast home Wi-Fi to networks that actively block VPNs. Or leave it on Auto and let SecureTap decide.

AUTO — RECOMMENDED

Not sure which to pick? You don't have to.

01

Reads your network

Home Wi-Fi, mobile data, a hotel hotspot or a network that filters traffic — Auto checks what you're on.

02

Picks the best tunnel

It chooses the protocol that gives you the best balance of speed and protection for that connection.

03

Adapts as you move

Walk out of Wi-Fi range or hit a blocked network and SecureTap reconnects on its own — no settings to touch.

COMPARE

Every protocol, side by side.

IN THE APP

Switch in two taps. Reconnect automatically.

Open Settings → VPN Protocol and pick one. If you're connected, SecureTap briefly disconnects, switches, and brings the tunnel back up for you.
