Internet Connection Requirements

A stable and reliable internet connection is essential for setting up and maintaining a VPN connection. Our system supports various types of internet connections, ensuring flexibility regardless of the network infrastructure in use. Below are the connection methods that are compatible with VPN:

1. Wired Connections (Ethernet / Cable)

Wired connections are the most stable and reliable form of internet access. VPN connections over wired connections are ideal for ensuring high-speed, low-latency connections.

  • Internet Service Providers (ISP): Broadband connections like DSL, fiber-optic, or cable broadband are the most common types of wired connections.
  • Speed and Reliability: Ensure that your internet plan supports at least the minimum speed requirements for the VPN. For best performance, a speed of 10 Mbps or higher is recommended.
  • Compatibility: Wired connections are compatible with all VPN protocols (WireGuard, OpenVPN, L2TP, etc.) and allow for stable, uninterrupted VPN sessions.

2. Wireless Connections (Wi-Fi)

Wi-Fi connections are widely available and convenient for both home and office environments. Most devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets support Wi-Fi connections.

  • Wi-Fi Routers: Ensure that your Wi-Fi router supports modern Wi-Fi standards (e.g., Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)) to achieve optimal speeds for VPN connections.
  • ISP Support: Wi-Fi itself does not provide an internet connection; it connects to your wired ISP service. Ensure that your internet plan provides adequate speed for VPN use.
  • Speed and Coverage: VPN performance over Wi-Fi can be influenced by the signal strength and congestion in the area. It is recommended to use Wi-Fi for VPN connections only when a stable signal is available. For high-speed requirements, use the 5 GHz band for less interference.

3. Mobile Networks (GSM, 4G/5G)

GSM and mobile networks (4G/5G) are increasingly popular methods of accessing the internet, especially when mobile connectivity is needed. VPN connections over mobile networks are supported, though their performance can vary depending on coverage, signal strength, and network load.

  • 4G / 5G Networks: These networks are capable of supporting high-speed internet, and VPNs can run effectively over these networks if the signal strength is good.
