StrongVPN as the logo in the messaging menu is shaded blue with the word "Connected" by it. Connected is then replaced with a key indicating that we are safe.

Scroll the list and typing on New York, the United States will begin the process of switching between servers in Atlanta and New York. This is illustrated in the pictures below. As you can see the application updates the location in the connection settings as indicated in the last two screens below.
Once the location has been updated, press the back button on your device which will return you to the login main screen shown in the first image below. Note that the application automatically attempts to connect to the new server since it was connected to that of Atlanta before starting your trip to New York.

The last thing we want to look in the Android application is the settings you can change. You have already learned how to use the location menu to change the VPN servers. The first screen in the image below shows the settings menu so you can see some of the other connection options that you can control. These are as follows :.
- account - This shows your account information and is primarily for existing accounts
- Location - As you have already learned, this will allow you to move servers
- Protocol -. OpenVPN is the only VPN protocol supported by the Android application, but you can change how it is implemented as shown in the second image below.
- UDP -. This is the User Datagram Protocol OpenVPN and does not include TCP overhead and is therefore faster and is the default Android app StrongVPN
- TCP - This is the transfer control protocol and is good for high latency connections and those that can not tolerate packet loss. It provides the packet order error control and loss and retransmits packets to correct. This is usually slower due to the extra burden involved in this process. It will not be ideal for streaming
- Proxy - .. This is primarily used in countries like China and Iran to help with connection problems and censorship, but could be useful for streaming both
- Scramble - this is the technology that adds another layer of complexity to the VPN connection between the client and the server OpenVPN OpenVPN, which makes it likely for VPN pass through unhindered network. This can help stop the techniques of deep packet inspection used to censorship by countries like China. It can be implemented in five ways as shown in the third screen of the image below.
- Off - Do not confuse the data
- Password - .. A string (word) is used to perform an operation on a simple XOR packet payload
- Xorptrpos - Performs an XOR operation, using the current position in the payload packets for the operation
- reverse - .. This reverses all packet data
- Concealment - It uses a mixture of all the above three methods is the safest
- remote Port -. This is a remote port that is available to the VPN to use if it is. By default, port 8293: a port very underused
- Battery and connectivity - This is a slider you can adjust between better connectivity and lifetime of the battery as shows the last screen. the image below.
last option you have as a user to the Android application is to set it to automatically reconnects when the phone restarts.
Android application StrongVPN only supports OpenVPN protocol that is ok, because it is probably the best protocol of choice for most users anyway. The app defaults to UDP, but you can change the TCP connections for long latency or more rural areas. It can also be set to a proxy setting. The application has an advanced feature to scramble your data and avoid the thorough inspection of employees packet those who practice Internet censorship. Specifically, it is easy to connect to their VPN from your favorite Android device. Just few taps on the screen you have connected to the location of your chosen VPN server.
