| Privacy | Anonymous aggregate telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled; telemetry is sent over plaintext HTTP to an unauthenticated endpoint. | The privacy policy says SwiftTunnel does not collect browsing history, traffic content, DNS queries, or records of activity while connected. |
| Purpose | LightSpeed routes game traffic through a fast path using ML-based proxy selection to reduce ping. | SwiftTunnel is a gaming connection optimization app designed to improve Roblox gameplay connections. |
| Security | Clients register over a QUIC control plane and use per-packet session tokens; proxy authentication is on by default. | The privacy policy says data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL, passwords are hashed, and connection private keys remain on the user's device. |
| Support | The project links to GitHub Discussions, bug reports, and game requests for community support. | The download page directs users to the SwiftTunnel Discord community for help and updates. |
