Built-in Obfuscation

Users in locations with strict internet restrictions — such as China, the Middle East, or corporate networks with deep packet inspection — can connect to VPNUK through an obfuscated connection. VPNUK Obfuscation is configured to work alongside an OpenVPN connection and is designed to hide VPN traffic from DPI attempts.

Obfuscated connections are available through the VPNUK Software v1.2.2 and the standalone OpenVPN client (v2.6.6). This feature makes your VPN traffic look like regular web traffic, bypassing even strict firewalls.
