Proton VPN currently only supports ephemeral remote [port forwarding](https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding/) via NAT-PMP, with 60 second lease times. The Windows app provides an easy to access option for it, while on other operating systems you'll need to run your own [NAT-PMP client](https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding-manual-setup/). Torrent applications often support NAT-PMP natively.

Proton VPN has their [Stealth](https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) protocol which helps in situations where VPN protocols like OpenVPN or Wireguard are blocked. Stealth works by using an obfuscated TLS tunnel over TCP making it more difficult for deep packet inspection (DPI) to block.

IVPN has obfuscation modes using the [v2ray](https://www.v2ray.com/en/index.html) project which helps in situations where VPN protocols like OpenVPN or Wireguard are blocked. Currently this feature is only available on Desktop and [iOS](https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/ios/v2ray/). It has two modes where it can use [VMess](https://guide.v2fly.org/en_US/basics/vmess.html) over QUIC or TCP connections. QUIC is a modern protocol with better congestion control and therefore may be faster with reduced latency. The TCP mode makes your data appear as regular HTTP traffic.
