+
+                  The value `auto` lets `cloudflared` choose the protocol (currently QUIC, falling back to HTTP/2).
+                  Set to `http2` to work around QUIC/UDP connectivity issues, such as restrictive firewalls, broken UDP path MTU, or QUIC interop bugs.
+                  Set to `quic` to force QUIC.
