Hi

When configuring VPN connection, you can specify encryption (no,
basic,strong, strongest).
As I understand, VPN traffic is always encrypted on the Internet.
So what exactly is "no encryption" ?

Actually, you can create an unencrypted tunnel if both the client and the
Server are configured for no encryption. Why anyone would want to do so, I
don't know, except for troubleshooting. The client and server will
negotiate the strongest encryption available to both of them. Strongest is
128-bit, Strong is 56-bit and Basic is 40-bit. The default for the client
is (require encryption(disconnect if server declines).
