# Which VPN protocol should I choose?

* SLProxy is recommended for general use, offering a balance of speed and security for most users.

* SCProxy is designed for more advanced scenarios, providing additional customization and reliability in networks with stricter restrictions.

| Choose the protocol based on your needs: use SLProxy for everyday browsing and streaming, and SCProxy if you need extra control or are in a network with higher restrictions.
