FAQ 简体中文 繁体中文 English

• TUN mode creates a virtual network adapter on your device, intercepting and forwarding all traffic at the network (IP) layer. This ensures that all apps and services — even those that don’t support proxy settings — are routed through the VPN.

• Advantage → Full system coverage for all traffic.
• Limitation → Because it works at the routing level, connections may be less stable under certain devices or network environments.

• By attaching your system’s HTTP proxy directly to the VPN service, System Proxy offers a more stable and consistent connection.
• Advantage → Smooth, reliable, and stable performance.
• Limitation → Because some apps and websites do not support proxy mode, they may still be blocked in certain situations.

In 5UF VPN, Global mode and Partial mode describe how much of your traffic goes through the VPN.

Global mode:

• Most system traffic goes through the VPN.
• Good for users who want a more consistent VPN route.
• Also more suitable for apps that do not support proxy mode well.

Partial mode:

• Only selected websites, apps, or rule-based traffic goes through the VPN.
• Other traffic continues to use the local network directly.
• Useful when you only want specific traffic to use the VPN.

How should you choose?

• If you are not sure, Global mode is usually the simpler starting point.
• If you only want a small part of traffic to use the VPN, choose Partial mode.

The naming may vary slightly on different platforms, but the core idea is the same.
