What is the difference between PPTP VPN services and SSTP VPN sevices?

There are also Premium Socks and HTTP Proxy services on this VPN and i wanna choose one of them but i don't understand what is the difference between them.|||SSTP includes header identification courtesy of Microsoft. This was done intentionally to make it easy to block at the request of ISP's . Any router can block it by just reading the header. If it matches the SSTP header code you drop the traffic. It's the easiest VPN in the world to block.



PPTP was originally a very flawed protocol which has been patched over time. It has a tendency to drop the VPN tunnel and not let you know about it while sending all your traffic in the clear. Since it's fixed port is it also easy to block by blocking the port.



No proxy is secure and they will all send your true IP address over protocols that are not forwarded over the proxy. This includes Flash and Java among others.



All of these protocols are flawed. If you want robust VPN service use OpenVPN.
