What it does
VPNBaron documents a Pathfinder feature that tries several protocols, with a built-in anti-DPI proxy, kill switch and native desktop/mobile apps.
VPNBaron's Pathfinder tries multiple connection methods so the user does not have to guess which protocol a network permits. The page lists WireGuard, IKEv2 and several proxy-oriented transports alongside its built-in stealth mode. That is the feature to investigate for a restrictive connection, without accepting a promise that filtering can always be bypassed. It also documents email-code sign-in when the website is blocked, which is a specific alternate access route worth understanding before travel. The current FAQ limits native WireGuard to the Mac app, with other native clients planned for a later update. Per-device WireGuard files or QR codes are already available for compatible third-party apps and routers.
VPNBaron's policy excludes browsing, DNS and traffic-content records but retains operational information: active-session counts, account data volume, VPN credentials, and WireGuard device names, public keys and last-connected information. Website and app sign-ins also include an IP address and time. Account and VPN data remains while the account exists, subject to legal exceptions on deletion; payment records generally remain for up to ten years. Email-code sign-in is an alternate access route within that account relationship.
