FAQ
Why can a VPN client reduce speed?
Encryption adds overhead. Modern protocols — WireGuard, NordLynx, Lightway — can retain up to 90% of the original bandwidth.
Are there free solutions without strict limits?
Proton VPN and ZoogVPN offer basic free plans. Note that the number of locations and maximum speed are limited in them.
Where can I check if a service is in the registry of permitted VPNs?
The current list for legal entities is published by Roskomnadzor. If you need a corporate VPN, make sure the provider is on the list.
How does the application differ from a browser extension?
The application encrypts all system traffic, including background services. The extension only protects data within a specific browser.
Briefly about protocols
• WireGuard / NordLynx — the best balance of speed and ping.
• Lightway — quickly restores the tunnel after the PC wakes from sleep.
• Stealth / Shadow modes are useful for deep packet inspection.
Choose a service based on the main criterion — bandwidth, number of devices, or built-in privacy features.
