Create SSH UDP Account

stream What is SSH UDP Custom?

SSH UDP Custom is a tunneling protocol that allows UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packets to be transmitted through an SSH connection. This specialized configuration enables fast, low-latency connections particularly beneficial for gaming, video calls, and other real-time applications that rely on UDP.

Unlike standard SSH which primarily handles TCP traffic, SSH UDP Custom is specifically optimized to handle UDP traffic, providing a more responsive connection for applications where speed is critical and occasional packet loss is acceptable.

settings How SSH UDP Custom Works

SSH UDP Custom works by establishing a secure SSH connection first, then creating a UDP forwarding mechanism within that connection:

1. The client establishes a standard SSH connection to the server
2. A special UDP gateway (UDPGW) runs on the server to handle UDP packets
3. UDP traffic from your applications is redirected through the SSH tunnel
4. The UDPGW component on the server forwards the UDP packets to their intended destinations
5. Return traffic follows the reverse path back through the tunnel

This technique allows UDP-based applications to benefit from the security of SSH tunneling while maintaining the performance characteristics needed for real-time applications.
