What is UDP?

When connecting to HMA Pro VPN using OpenVPN protocol, all connections are made through TCP
protocol.
But there's a way to use UDP protocol instead, resulting in faster speeds and it's bypassing many restrictions for other protocols; like when you cannot connect at certain locations using PPTP or usual OpenVPN.
Since UDP protocol is not yet integrated into the HMA Pro VPN client, you'll have to use our alternative clients for Windows and Mac.

When following the tutorials below, make sure to use the UDP config files: http://newmastervpn.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-is-udp.html
not the TCP config files ( http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/TCP/ ).


Instructions for Windows -> OpenVPN client
Instructions for Mac -> Tunnelblick
Instructions for Android -> Android
Instructions for iOS -> OpenVPN on IPad/IPhone/ITouch
 
  • You can also use the VPN client Viscosity (trialware) for Windows and Mac.
  • The Mac client Shimo (shareware) is also supported.
