TuxlerVPN Features and Connection Types

Published by TuxlerVPN

TuxlerVPN offers a Windows application plus Chrome and Firefox extensions. The available connection type and traffic scope depend on the platform and plan.

1. Windows residential and datacenter choices

The Windows application can use residential or datacenter connections. The residential-versus-datacenter comparison explains differences in address source, capacity, and performance.

2. Standard and Premium plans

TuxlerVPN Standard on Windows is community-powered: while the free application remains installed, the device can participate in the residential network. Premium devices do not participate.

The free-versus-paid VPN guide compares the two plan models. Premium users can follow the TuxlerVPN Premium setup guide.

3. Premium browser extensions

Chrome and Firefox extensions require Premium and use datacenter connections. The guide to browser-extension scope explains why they cover supported browser traffic rather than traffic from other applications.

4. Location selection

TuxlerVPN provides location choices within its supported applications. Availability can change with capacity and plan rules, so the current application is the authoritative source. The VPN location-selection guide explains how to choose and test an endpoint.

5. Encrypted transport

A VPN encrypts covered traffic between the device and its endpoint. The full explanation of how a VPN works shows that path, and the testing guide explains how to verify the resulting public IP and DNS route.
