One of XEY VPN's standout features is its comprehensive multi-protocol support. Let's explore what each protocol offers and why having options matters.
SSH & Dropbear
The classic tunneling protocol, SSH provides reliable encrypted connections. Dropbear is our lightweight SSH server implementation, optimized for performance while maintaining full security.
WireGuard
The modern standard in VPN protocols. WireGuard offers exceptional speed, minimal overhead, and state-of-the-art cryptography. It's our recommended protocol for users who prioritize performance.
Xray (VMess / VLess / Trojan)
Xray protocols are designed for flexibility and resilience. VMess offers obfuscated traffic, VLess provides lightweight connections, and Trojan mimics HTTPS traffic for maximum stealth.
OpenVPN
The industry veteran. OpenVPN is widely supported, highly configurable, and battle-tested across millions of installations worldwide. We support both UDP and TCP modes.
SlowDNS (DNSTT)
For environments with strict network restrictions, SlowDNS tunnels traffic through DNS queries, providing connectivity even in the most restricted network environments.
Choosing the Right Protocol
The best protocol depends on your needs: WireGuard for speed, Xray Trojan for stealth, OpenVPN for compatibility, and SlowDNS for restricted networks. XEY VPN gives you the freedom to choose.
