Should I choose the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) when using OpenVPN?

If you’re using the VPN for streaming or downloading purpose then UDP protocol will be the right option. For web browsing the TCP protocol will be reliable but will be little slower compared to UDP.
