Settings⁠

Device ID

Displays the unique identifier of your device where the app is installed with the option to copy it to your clipboard. Also called the client UUID and can be used as part of a device enforcement policy. It's generated at installation and can't be changed.

VPN Protocol

• Adaptive

• TCP

• UDP

Force a particular transport protocol (UDP or TCP) or set to adaptive, which individually chooses the protocol from the remote lines in the profile.

Connection Timeout

• 10 sec

• 30 sec

• 1 min

• 2 min

• Continuous Retry

How long the app tries to connect to a VPN server before giving up. If set to Continuous Retry, the app retries indefinitely.

Launch Options

On/Off

Set the app to start automatically after the device starts up.

Connect on Launch

On/Off

Automatically establish a connection as soon as the application opens.

Minimize on launch

On/Off

When the application is launched, the window is minimized afterward.

Seamless Tunnel

On/Off

Block the internet while the VPN is paused or reconnecting.

Captive Portal Detection

On/Off

The app tries to detect a network with a captive portal during either a network change or the app launch.

Software Update

• Daily

• Weekly

• Monthly

• Never

Set how often the app should check for a new version.

Theme

• System

• Light

• Dark

Set the application's color theme.

Tray Icon Style

• Monochrome

• Colorful

Set the application's icon style in the system tray.

Hide Dock Icon

On/Off

Hide the dock icon after closing the application window.

Confirmation Dialogs

On/Off

Enable/disable the appearance of confirmation dialogs on disconnect.

Security Level

• Preferred (Recommended)

• Legacy

• Insecure (Not Recommended)

Set the security settings for the VPN connection:

• Preferred: Uses modern, recommended security settings for today's systems and servers. This level disables compression and only supports secure AEAD ciphers (such as AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305).

• Legacy: (Default) Use the currently acceptable cryptographic algorithms that adhere to current security standards. This setting allows some older, yet still secure algorithms in widespread use, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of servers. This setting allows downlink compression, utilizes the AES-CBC algorithm, and requires a minimum TLS version 1.2.

• Insecure: Use algorithms and other features no longer considered secure. This should only be used as a last resort; we recommend upgrading the OpenVPN server to use more secure algorithms. This setting enables legacy ciphers and algorithms (DES, 3DES, MD5, BF-CBC, and RC4), weak certificate signatures, TLS 1.0, 1024-bit RSA certificates, and full compression.

Enforce TLS 1.3

On/Off

Force the VPN connection to use TLS 1.3 as the minimum version for communicating with the server.

Block IPv6

• Yes

• No

Whether to block IPv6 traffic.

DNS Fallback

On/Off

If enabled, use Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as a fallback for connections that route all internet traffic through the VPN tunnel but don't define any VPN DNS servers.
