Overview

OCTA VPN offers a variety of key benefits to its users. One of the main advantages is its ease of setup, which is made possible by utilizing non-modified and open-source software that is compatible with a wide range of platforms.

Additionally, users have the flexibility to choose from a variety of VPN technologies to suit their needs. There are also no limitations on the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously.

To add to that, the billing model is pay-as-you-go, which means you are billed only for the amount of data you use. This gives you complete control over your usage and costs.

VPN access is implemented using the following technologies:

  • Wireguard
  • Shadowsocks with v2ray plugin
  • OpenVpn

While you can use the VPN with Open Source tools such as OpenVPN or Wireguard, there are also native applications available which you can download:
