The company doesn't just support WireGuard (which alone is more than some providers), it also supports the protocol's new ability to run in the Windows kernel for even better performance. has been paying attention to industry developments, too. This doesn't sound like the best idea as TCP is normally slower, but applies other tricks, too – hardware offloading, multiplexing through TLS 1.3 channels, encryption via AES-GCM (圆4) or ChaCha-Poly-1305 (ARM) – and the results were impressive (more on that later). MultiHop VPN enables choosing any entry or exit server from 's full location list.Ī VPN Bolt feature for Windows claims to accelerate speeds by routing all traffic through TCP rather than UDP.

Some VPNs have similar features – NordVPN's Double VPN, for example – but they often restrict the servers you can use. The extra hop may slow you down a little, but it can help bypass VPN blocking and makes it more difficult for anyone to identify who you are. Recent additions include MultiHop VPN, where you connect to one location and exit from another. MultiHop lets you connect from one location and exit from another to prevent tracking (Image credit: )
