- Supports SSL-VPN (SoftEther VPN) protocol, L2TP/IPsec protocol, OpenVPN protocol, and Microsoft SSTP protocol.
- Anonymous connections are accepted.
- No user registrations are required.
- Each VPN server has a dynamic IP address. Therefore it may change at a random period.
- VPN servers appear and disappear at any time. Therefore, an IP address may not always connect to a VPN server.
