Network Resilience

Protection mode is a set of connection presets designed to help GigaTap work on restrictive or unstable networks. It does not mean every network will allow a VPN connection.

What Protection mode can adjust

Depending on the selected profile and platform, Protection mode may use options such as traffic fragmentation, padding, alternative transports or fingerprints, and DNS-over-HTTPS. The goal is to improve connection success on difficult networks while keeping the app simple to operate.

Modes

  • Off: use the normal profile behavior.
  • Automatic: let the app choose a suitable resilience profile when a network looks difficult.
  • Manual: choose a specific resilience profile yourself.

How to use it

  1. Try the normal connection first.
  2. If the network is unstable or repeatedly fails, switch Protection mode to Automatic.
  3. Retry the connection.
  4. If you already know which profile works best on the current network, use Manual mode.
  5. Run Diagnostics if the app still cannot connect.
