Hello, I am using Bitdefender VPN. Why in the PC version there is no option to choose the connection protocol as in Android. For example, on Hydra Catapult

    Hi @Daniel - AVATAR

    By default, Bitdefender VPN uses Hydra Catapult on all platforms. It's part of the Anchor Free (HotSpot Sheild) proprietary protocol.

    But you're right, with the Android version, there are more options to choose from. See Settings.

    Just in case this link may help with additional information.

    What encryption algorithm does it use?

    Hydra protocol on all platforms, 256-bit AES encryption, or the highest available cypher supported by both client and server, with Perfect Forward Secrecy. This means that encryption keys are generated for each new VPN session and erased from memory when the session is over.
