The Settings screen has two basic settings which do not need to be altered if you have no connection problems. Some work places may block some types of protocols and ports, so these
can be changed here to allow HideAway to connect.
Select the type of Protocol
HideAway lets you tunnel two types of traffic. UDP is the default.
TCP is suited for applications that require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical. TCP rearranges data packets in the order specified. The speed for TCP is slower than UDP. There is absolute guarantee that the data transferred remains intact and arrives in the same order in which it was sent.
UDP is suitable for applications that need fast, efficient transmission, such as games. UDP has no inherent order as all packets are independent of each other. UDP is faster because there is no error-checking for packets. There is no guarantee that the messages or packets sent would reach at all.
Select the port for outgoing traffic
Select a port for outgoing traffic if your port is blocked.
