VPN protocols

TunnelHQ supports 11 VPN protocols. Each check connects the way a real client does, so a healthy result means the tunnel came up.

Protocol	Group	What you provide
WireGuard	Standard	A WireGuard config
OpenVPN	Standard	An .ovpn config, a username, and a password
IKEv2	Standard	A host, a username, and a password
VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, TUIC	V2ray/Xray	A connection URL (share link)
AmneziaWG	Obfuscated	An AmneziaWG config
OpenConnect	Obfuscated	A name, a host, a username, and a password

The groups are the same as in the protocol picker when you add a monitor.

Filling in the fields

When you add a monitor, paste a config or share link and TunnelHQ detects the protocol and fills in the fields. Or click Enter details manually, choose a protocol, and enter them yourself. Required fields must be set before you can save.

Not sure which fields you need?

If you have a config file or share link, paste it into Add monitor or Import monitors and let detection fill in the fields. It’s the most reliable way to get every field right.
