We offer preconfigured tunnelblick installation for TCP 80 and UDP 53 ports seperately.We suggest to use OpenVPN UDP ports for connecting to servers which are on other continents(Ping latency over 100ms).Feel free to test both port protocol/ports in order to clarify which port/protocol is best performing for you.In case TCP 80 or UDP 53 port is blocked on your network/internet service provider setup please contact our support department for other tcp and udp port configurations.
Start by downloading Tunnelblick for your choice of protocol/port.
