			== DNS Options ==

			'''DNS Options''' is one of the OpenVPN features that will give you options which DNS servers you want to use when connected to VPN. We always recommend using Astrill DNS for best performance and privacy protection.

			# Click on '''SETTINGS''' menu then choose '''DNS Options...'''.
			# By default, it is set to '''Astrill DNS''' as recommended.
			# Click the drop down arrow to show the other DNS servers available.
			# You can try using '''Google DNS''' for example.
			# Once '''Google DNS''' is selected, it will automatically set '''DNS 1''' and '''DNS 2''' to google dns.
			# Click '''OK''' to save.



			== App Guard ==

			'''App Guard''' is a new feature of the StealthVPN (also available in OpenVPN). This feature that will allow you to block application/s when VPN is not connected. No need to mess up with windows firewall (if you're using Windows).



			[[File:Stealth_app-guard3.jpg]]




			# Click on '''SETTINGS''' menu then choose '''App Guard...'''.
			# Click the '''Add''' or '''+''' button and select a program that you want to block if vpn is off.
			# To remove from the list, highlight the app or choose the app and click the "<b>x</b>" button.
			# For example, Utorrent is added from the list. If VPN is off, utorrent is blocked.
			# Click '''OK''' to save after adding/removing app from the list.
