Regarding VPN

Nayeembd25

I have purchased Ultimate Security. I also installed it on my IOS. But after installing it on my iPhone I have noticed that, 3 types of VPN has been created provided by Bitdefender. Now I am confused that which VPN should I use. Those are:

1. Bitdefender Mobile Security
2. Bitdefender (Hydra)
3. Bitdefender Mobile Security

Kindly help me to choose best one. I need full and best protection for my device.

Thank you.

While Bitdefender offers different VPN options on iOS, choosing the best one depends on your specific needs and priorities. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:

1. Bitdefender Mobile Security:

• This is the default VPN included with the Bitdefender Mobile Security app.
• It uses the OpenVPN protocol, known for its strong security and reliability.
• However, it comes with a 200 MB daily limit, which might not be enough for heavy data users.

2. Bitdefender (Hydra):

• This is a newer, proprietary protocol developed by Bitdefender.
• It claims to offer faster speeds and more efficient data usage compared to OpenVPN.
• However, it lacks obfuscation, which means some countries or networks might be able to detect and block it.
• It doesn't currently offer full feature support compared to OpenVPN.

3. Bitdefender Premium VPN (with Unlimited VPN and Premium Support):

• This is a separate subscription that unlocks unlimited data for Bitdefender VPN on all your devices, including iOS.
• It also offers full feature support and Premium Support.
• It uses the OpenVPN protocol for strong security.

Recommendations:

• Best overall protection: Go for Bitdefender Premium VPN. It provides unlimited data, full feature support, and strong security with OpenVPN.
• Focus on speed and data efficiency: Choose Bitdefender (Hydra) if you prioritize these aspects. However, be aware of the potential blocking risk and limited features.
• Limited data usage: Stick with the default Bitdefender Mobile Security VPN only if you're sure 200 MB daily is enough for your needs.

Additional factors to consider:

• Your location: If you're in a country with strict VPN restrictions, OpenVPN (used by Bitdefender Mobile Security and Premium VPN) is generally more reliable.
• Personal preferences: Try both Hydra and OpenVPN (assuming you have Premium VPN) to see which protocol offers better performance and stability for your specific usage.
