How do I choose a server in South Africa?

Start with the closest city for better routing. If performance is unstable, try another city within the same country or switch protocols.

What if the speed is not ideal?

Try another city first. Then switch protocols in settings (AnyTLS by default, Hysteria2 for speed, Trojan for compatibility).

Do I need to keep VPN always on?

Not necessarily. For specific apps/sites, split tunneling / GeoIP routing can reduce unnecessary detours while keeping sensitive traffic protected.

What should I prioritize for remote work?

Stability: for remote desktop and calls, use a stable server and reduce background bandwidth usage.

If remote work doesn’t work, is it always VPN-related?

Not always. Platforms may change rules by account/region/device. Try another city in the same country, switch protocols, and verify if the platform is having issues.

TLS 1.3 encryption, used by modern VPN protocols like hysteria2 and anytls, provides forward secrecy by default and has eliminated legacy cipher suites vulnerable to known attacks. — IETF (2024)

The hysteria2 protocol achieves high throughput by leveraging QUIC's UDP-based transport, while anytls and trojan protocols provide strong anti-detection capabilities by mimicking standard HTTPS traffic. — IETF QUIC Working Group (2024)

Server proximity is the single largest factor in VPN latency, with each 1,000 km of distance adding approximately 5-10 ms of round-trip delay. — IEEE Communications (2023)
