Overview

What is Linklayer VPN

Linklayer VPN operates at Layer 2 of the network stack, which is lower than the HTTP and application-layer tunnels used by most other apps on this list. Operating at this level allows it to bypass some firewall rules that target specific application protocols, because Layer 2 traffic looks different to network inspection equipment. It is particularly effective on networks with strict application-layer firewalls.

Decision guide

When to use Linklayer VPN

Use Linklayer VPN when

✓Application-layer firewalls on your network are blocking all standard tunnel methods

✓You are on a corporate or institutional network with aggressive protocol filtering

✓All HTTP, SSH and TLS tunnel methods are failing and you want a fundamentally different approach

✓Your network blocks traffic by application signature but allows Layer 2 tunnelling

Switch to another app when

◆Standard apps like Ha Tunnel Plus are working , Layer 2 tunnelling adds unnecessary overhead

◆You need maximum speed , Layer 2 overhead is higher than HTTP proxy

◆Your network has specifically blocked Layer 2 tunnelling , try Dark Tunnel

◆You need a simpler setup , Linklayer VPN has more technical requirements than most apps
