Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between TCP and UDP in OpenVPN?
UDP is faster and uses less battery because it does not require continuous packet verification, making it ideal for streaming and gaming. TCP is slower but checks every packet, making it useful for bypassing network blocks and maintaining connections on weak signals.
How long does my free OpenVPN server account remain active?
Accounts generated on the free tier typically remain active for 3 to 7 days depending on the server class. Once expired, simply visit the site again, generate new credentials, and update the login details in your OpenVPN Connect app.
Can I share this VPN connection with my computer?
Yes. The downloaded .ovpn file can be imported into any OpenVPN client running on Windows, macOS, or Linux using the same username and password.
