What is Ensure UDP Connectivity and how to use it?
Last updated: October 15, 2023
The Ensure UDP Connectivity feature in MetroVPN ensures the availability of the UDP protocol, which is vital for services that require fast, real-time data transmission. Common use cases include gaming VPN, video meeting VPN, and online calling VPN. UDP over TCP is often preferred for activities like Bittorrent downloads, large online games, VoIP calls, and video conferencing due to its faster, more efficient connection.
Enabling Ensure UDP Connectivity can improve performance for high-demand services by allowing them to run more efficiently. However, it may affect server availability or stability in certain network environments. For most users, leaving this feature disabled won't impact normal usage, and MetroVPN will continue to run smoothly. If you rely on UDP-dependent services, enabling it could optimize your experience.
