1.Available connection modes

  • Easy Mode: A simple starting point with fast-server selection and DNS filtering.
  • Security: The recommended option for broader protection against ads, trackers and malware.
  • Tin Foil Hat: The strongest preset described here, with extra filtering and Onion Routing. Requires Pro access, and some sites may break.

2.Before switching modes

Switching modes can replace your custom settings. If you use a saved profile or dedicated IP, check what will change before you switch.

Streaming, Human Rights and Raw are still coming soon.
