Enable Junk Packets for all profiles

Junk packets are a DPI protection approach that works with a generic WireGuard server. This method allows the transmission of junk packets before the WireGuard handshake, making WireGuard traffic less detectable by DPI systems. The junk packet settings are determined by the Jc, Jmin, Jmax, and Jd parameters (Jc, Jmin, and Jmax correspond to the AmneziaWG protocol extension). The default values are Jc = 3, Jmin = 50, Jmax = 1000 and Jd=0.

This option enables junk packets for all profiles using the default values. You can specify individual parameters for each profile explicitly on the profile edit page.

Enable Virtual Adapter Mode

WireSock Virtual Adapter Mode creates a dedicated virtual network interface to handle VPN traffic, offering better isolation, compatibility, and control. Unlike Transparent Mode, which intercepts traffic at the packet level , Virtual Adapter Mode provides a standard network interface, improving compatibility with certain applications. However, it requires elevated privileges to create and manage the virtual adapter, whereas Transparent Mode operates with lower system impact and does not require administrative access.

See more details about Virtual Adapter and Transparent mode in a separate article.

Enable automatic reconnect

Automatically reconnect when the VPN connection is lost. This feature ensures a stable and persistent VPN tunnel, even if temporary network disruptions occur.

Connection timeout

How long the app tries to connect to a VPN server before giving up. If set to Continuous Retry, the app retries indefinitely. Avalible options:

• 10 sec
• 30 sec
• 1 min
• 2 min
• Continuous Retry
