Fragmentation

Fragmentation splits packets into smaller pieces; excessive fragmentation can reduce performance and break some apps. For business users, clear policy and least-privilege access reduce risk more than ‘always route everything everywhere.’ If you travel often, this term becomes especially important because airports, hotels, and cafes are common interception points. When in doubt, prefer simpler configurations: fewer exceptions, fewer custom routes, and verified leak-test results. VPN Surf and Elite VPN guidance aims to keep the concept actionable, not just theoretical.
