Aether v1.2.0

Aether is a user-space proxy client. It tunnels traffic out of a filtered network and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy on 127.0.0.1:1819. Point a browser, terminal, or system proxy at that address and your traffic leaves through the tunnel.

What's new in v1.2.0:

  • Fixed a false-positive in the data-plane check for MASQUE and WireGuard. The probe packet used to be sent to 1.1.1.1, which is inside Cloudflare's own network, so a gateway could pass just by routing internally without ever reaching the real internet. It now targets an external resolver, and needs two successful round-trips in a row instead of one. This was the cause behind reports of a tunnel showing as "connected" while actual traffic just hung.
  • MASQUE now lets you pick HTTP/3 (QUIC) or HTTP/2 (TCP) up front, with a short note on when each helps: HTTP/3 for the fastest handshake on healthy networks, HTTP/2 for networks that block or throttle UDP.

This release includes prebuilt binaries for:

  • Linux x86_64, built on Fedora latest (aether-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)
  • Linux arm64 / aarch64, built on Fedora latest (aether-linux-arm64.tar.gz)
  • Linux armv7 / 32-bit ARM, e.g. Raspberry Pi 2/3 (aether-linux-armv7.tar.gz)
  • macOS arm64 / Apple Silicon (aether-macos-arm64.tar.gz)
  • macOS x86_64 / Intel (aether-macos-x86_64.tar.gz)
  • Windows x86_64 (aether-windows-x86_64.zip)
  • Android / Termux arm64 (aether-android-arm64.tar.gz)
  • Android / Termux armv7 (aether-android-armv7.tar.gz)
  • Android / Termux x86_64 (aether-android-x86_64.tar.gz)

Each archive ships with a matching .sha256 file, and a combined SHA256SUMS.txt lists every checksum.

Quick start (Termux, one-line install):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CluvexStudio/aether/main/aether.sh -o aether.sh && chmod +x aether.sh && ./aether.sh install

Quick start (Windows):

  1. Download aether-windows-x86_64.zip and extract it.
  2. Double-click run-aether.bat. It opens a terminal, runs aether.exe, and stays open afterwards so you can read any errors.

Quick start (other platforms):

  1. Download the archive for your platform and extract it.
  2. Run the binary and answer the prompts, or set the environment variables listed in the guides.
  3. Point your client at socks5h://127.0.0.1:1819 and verify with:
    curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:1819 https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace

Verify a download (Linux/macOS):
sha256sum -c aether-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256

See README.md and the Docs directory for transport selection, obfuscation profiles, the HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3 choice in MASQUE, and the full environment-variable reference.
