How Many Bits Do the DH Groups Used by VPN Have?

Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups determine the strength of the key used in the key exchange process. Higher DH group numbers are usually more secure, but more time is required to calculate the key.

Table 1 lists the number of bits corresponding to the DH groups used by VPN.
