PPTP and L2TP disabled on all servers
6/24/2026
In our latest update, we have disabled PPTP and L2TP on all remaining servers. We recommend instead using the VyprVPN application, or a different manual connection which does not rely on PPTP or L2TP
OpenVPN Updates
3/25/2026
If you have any trouble connecting with a manual OpenVPN configuration, please ensure that you are using the new VyprVPN OpenVPN Configuration files here - http://support.vyprvpn.com/hc/articles/360038096131
To ensure the highest level of security for our customers, our servers are no longer supporting 160-bit OpenVPN configurations.
VyprVPN Discontinues Active Support for L2TP
4/22/2024
In order to focus on the future of VPN, VyprVPN has discontinued active support for the L2TP protocol. This change will free up our engineering teams to focus on the future of VPN, rather than being bogged down supporting much older protocols such as L2TP and PPTP, which are no longer considered secure, and can't provide as fast and reliable a connection as Wireguard and OpenVPN.
VyprVPN Discontinues Active Support for PPTP
5/2/2023
Sadly, the VPN world has moved on from PPTP, and the once-popular VPN protocol is no longer considered secure. For that reason we have chosen to discontinue active support for the PPTP protocol on our server backend. This decision will free up our technology teams to focus on the future of VPN, rather than being stuck in the past.
This doesn't mean you can't use PPTP protocol anymore - but it does unfortunately mean that we will be severely limited in being able to assist with PPTP connection issues, and we will in many cases recommend using more modern VPN protocols, such as Wireguard or OpenVPN.

We're happy to announce that WireGuard® is now available for Windows, macOS, and Android. It is already out on iOS as well, and it will be available on other platforms soon!
You can download the latest version of the VyprVPN app for your platform here, and you can find out more about the benefits of WireGuard® here.
Chameleon 2.0 is here!
1/29/2020
We revamped our Chameleon protocol to help defeat aggressive VPN blocking in countries like China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia so users everywhere can access the free and open Internet.
We recommend that all of our customers in restrictive regions using the VyprVPN app for Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS update to the latest version to ensure that you can use Chameleon 2.0.
To use Chameleon 2.0, choose the Chameleon protocol option in the app and connect. Chameleon 2.0 is still called “Chameleon” in the app and is not shown as a separate protocol, nor does it require any additional configuration.
For more information on Chameleon 2.0, please visit our blog here.
If you have any trouble connecting or have any questions, please contact our support team.
