Choosing the right VPN protocol is crucial for both speed and security. OpenVPN is the most popular and recommended protocol.
WireGuard is a newer protocol that shows promise in terms of speed, but there are concerns about its privacy.
Other protocols like SSTP, L2TP/IPsec, IKEv2/IPsec, and PPTP have their own trade-offs and may be suitable depending on specific needs. Avoid PPTP due to security vulnerabilities.
