## Best Practices

### Connection Setup

1. **Choose the Right Protocol:** Use Shadowsocks/Trojan for censored networks, HTTP/SOCKS5 for simple bypassing
2. **Select Nearest Server:** Lower latency improves browsing experience
3. **Test Connection:** Use tools to verify IP change and DNS leak protection
4. **Enable Encryption:** Always use encrypted protocols for sensitive data
5. **Update Clients:** Keep proxy clients updated for security patches

### Security Guidelines

- **Avoid Free Public Proxies** for sensitive activities (banking, personal data)
- **Enable Kill Switch** if available in your client to prevent IP leaks
- **Verify DNS Settings** to prevent DNS leaks revealing your real location
- **Use HTTPS Websites** even when using a proxy for end-to-end encryption
- **Monitor Data Usage** to detect unusual activity

### Troubleshooting Tips

**Connection Failed:**
- Check internet connectivity
- Try different server or protocol
- Check firewall/antivirus settings
- Update client software

**Slow Connection:**
- Switch to geographically closer server
- Try different protocol (Trojan/VMess often faster)
- Reduce encryption level if available
- Check local network congestion

**Still Blocked:**
- Switch to obfuscated protocol (SSR, Trojan)
- Try different server region
- Use V2Ray with WebSocket + TLS
- Enable traffic obfuscation in client

**SSL/TLS Errors:**
- Update system certificates
- Disable SSL verification (temporary, not recommended for sensitive data)
- Try different protocol without TLS wrapping
- Check system time settings
