Speed & Stability

Why do WhatsApp and Telegram calls fail or stay stuck connecting over a VPN?

ISPS OR TUNNEL SERVERS ARE THROTTLING UDP VOICE TRAFFIC.
Voice communication and video calls in messengers use UDP packet flows to minimize latency. DPI systems filter this protocol, and many foreign servers completely block these ports.

Blocking VoIP Packets Within Encrypted Channels

Audio and video streams transmit without delivery confirmations to prevent speech delays. If intermediary ISP equipment drops UDP protocol ports or the tunnel server is overloaded, the app cannot negotiate a direct connection with the peer and gets stuck in an endless 'Connecting' state.
