Some regular VPN users have a clear personal preference. But if not, it probably comes down to using whichever works best for you. Some wifi and mobile networks don’t support all connection protocols so you might find that you need to try them all to find the one that works for you. OpenVPN takes a bit longer to configure, so we’d suggest that you start with PPTP and L2TP, but it’s considered to be a more secure protocol.
OpenVPN over SSH – selectable within the FlowVPN OpenVPN application – can be a particularly powerful tool for bypassing firewalls.
