With Betternet on Android, we have features that can help you to increase your privacy and security when while the VPN. Please take a look at each one below:
VPN Protocol
This tab allow you to select the VPN protocol you want to use to establish a connection with the Betternet VPN servers.
Smart
This is the default option. When this protocol is selected, we will pick the fastest and most secure protocol to connect to for your network or area.
Hydra
This is our company-developed protocol. This unique protocol is the fastest in the VPN industry and faster than our other protocols. It is the most secure of our protocols.
WireGuard
WireGuard is our newest protocol. It has a strong balance between speed and security.
Auto-protect
With this setting enabled, Betternet will automatically connect to the VPN whenever your device starts up.
Privacy settings
This option lets you revisit and change your consent for things like personalized ads. This option is only available on Free plans.
Split Tunneling
This feature allows you to fine-tune which applications or websites should use the VPN on your phone. It has two options.
Bypass VPN
Bypass VPN allows you to specify which apps or website should bypass the VPN. Anything added to this list will use your normal ISP-provided IP address--even though everything else may be routed through the VPN.
Route via VPN
With this enabled, only the specific websites you list will go through the VPN connection. Do note that only the websites listed will go through the VPN, everything else will use your normal internet connection.
Always-on VPN
Always-on VPN ensures you are always connected to the VPN at all times, unless you manually disconnect.
Kill Switch
If Betternet suddenly disconnects, enabling this feature will stop the data flow, protecting you by not allowing any internet traffic to run in the background once the VPN disconnects.
