There are a lot of VPN tunneling protocols. Each VPN tunneling protocol has its way of working and that is why they are not all the same. Some common VPN tunneling protocols are PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN IKEv2/IPSec and WireGuard. PPTP is a VPN tunneling protocol that works fast but it is not very safe. L2TP/IPSec is a VPN tunneling protocol that combines tunneling and encryption to make it safer. OpenVPN is a VPN tunneling protocol that people like because it is very safe and it can be used in different ways. IKEv2/IPSec is a VPN tunneling protocol that's very stable and it works really well on mobile devices. WireGuard is a VPN tunneling protocol that people like because it works really well and it has good encryption. When you are choosing a VPN tunneling protocol you need to think about what you need. Do you need a VPN tunneling protocol that's fast or one that is safe? You also need to think about what kind of device you're using.
