Stealth Mode

"Stealth Mode" is a VPN connection that adds an additional level of encryption and should used to bypass local restrictions made by the authorities to block VPNs domestically. For example, UAE and China. We recommend you use the Primary connection as the default and only use Stealth mode when required as it does mean a slightly slower connection due to the additional encryption.

Disconnecting

This is essentially the same as the process for connecting but in reverse. Just go back into the System Tray and right click on the green arrowed globe.
