When to Switch VPN Protocols

Use this quick decision tree to switch between AnyTLS (default), Hysteria2 (fast), and Trojan (fallback) based on your scenario.

Decision tree

Start with AnyTLS
Balanced connectivity and speed for most websites.
Need the lowest latency / highest throughput (RDP, gaming, streaming)?
Try Hysteria2If some websites fail to load, switch back to AnyTLS or use Trojan.
A specific website cannot connect?
Try Trojan as fallbackUse it only for sites where other protocols fail.
Local services behave strangely while VPN is on?
Enable GeoIP routing (DIRECT for a region)Keep selected regional traffic local while other traffic stays protected.
