What to do
Can I have a dedicated or fixed IP address?
This is not offered. The exit address, the one websites see, is that of the server of the chosen location.
It exists in IPv4, and in IPv6 when the server has one. It is shared by its users.
Does FuzeVPN route the connection through several servers (multi-hop)?
No. Your connection goes through a single server, the one of the chosen location.
Can FuzeVPN connect by itself at startup?
Yes.
- On Windows, turn on “Launch with Windows” in Settings → General → Windows.
- Also turn on “Connect on startup” in Settings → Connection → Connection: when the app opens, FuzeVPN connects to the last location used. Both options are off by default.
- On Android, use the always-on VPN. Connect once in FuzeVPN first, then turn on “Always-on VPN” in Android’s VPN settings. The VPN then resumes by itself, including after a restart.
- In the extension, there is nothing to set: it reconnects by itself when the browser opens if the VPN was active.
- “Launch with Windows” or “Connect on startup” isn’t saved? See the “Setting or favourite not saved or not loaded” family on the Technical messages page.

Which protocol should I choose?
The protocol is the VPN’s connection method. WireGuard, chosen by default, is the fastest. If your network blocks it, try OpenVPN.
The extensions have no protocol setting.
Does FuzeVPN pick the fastest server?
In the extensions, yes: the “Automatic” option picks the location that responded best recently.
In the apps, you choose the location: the nearest one usually gives the best speed.
Can I exclude a site from the extension?
Yes. In the extension, open Settings → Browser protection → “Excluded sites”, then turn on “Enable exceptions”.
Enter the site in “Domain or URL”, tick “Include subdomains” if needed, then click “Add site”.
The list of excluded sites appears in the same window, up to 100 sites. To include a site again, click the “×” button on its line.
Can I choose my own DNS servers?
DNS servers translate a site’s name into an address. Choosing your own DNS servers is not offered.
The apps use Cloudflare’s resolvers (1.1.1.1) in the tunnel. With the extensions, the FuzeVPN server resolves the names of sites.
On Windows, “DNS protection” is on by default, in Settings → Privacy → Security. Disconnect the VPN to change it.

Is there a data limit?
No: unlimited data, with no quota at all.
Is port forwarding offered for torrenting?
No. Downloading and sharing torrents work all the same.
Do my banking apps work with FuzeVPN?
Yes, they work with FuzeVPN.
Does your bank ask for an extra check, such as a 3-D Secure code? Choose a location in your country to avoid it. Your bank may simply ask for one if the connection seems to come from another country.
No location in your country? Choose a location in a country on the same continent. If your bank asks for a check, simply confirm it. In the browser, you can also exclude your bank’s site in the extension.
