QUIC Protocol: Why Your VPN Should Care

The internet was built on TCP. But TCP is old and slow. QUIC is the replacement, and it's built for the modern world of mobile devices and fiber optics.

Native Encryption

QUIC has TLS 1.3 built directly into it. There is no such thing as an "unencrypted" QUIC connection. This makes it a natural fit for high-security VPN tunnels.

Head-of-Line Blocking

In TCP, one lost packet stops everything. In QUIC, other streams can continue while the lost packet is re-requested. This makes your VPN feel much faster, even on poor "lossy" connections.
