Aether GUI v0.13.0

What's New

  • Aether core updated to v1.6.0: The bundled tunnel engine is bumped to the latest release, bringing its new features and resilience fixes with it.
  • HTTP CONNECT Proxy: Aether can now expose an HTTP proxy next to the SOCKS5 one for clients that can't speak SOCKS. Enable it from Advanced -> Proxy -> HTTP Proxy (e.g. 127.0.0.1:1818). Leave it empty to keep it off.
  • "Light" Obfuscation Profile (MASQUE): A gentler --noize light profile for networks that only need a nudge — selectable in the Obfuscation toggle alongside Firewall and GFW.
  • Zero Trust one-time-code sign-in now works in the GUI: Aether v1.6.0 accepts the emailed sign-in code on its standard input. Set your email under Advanced -> Zero Trust, connect, and paste the emailed code into the new Sign-in code field and press Enter. No more terminal needed to finish enrolment.

Under the Hood (from Aether v1.6.0)

  • SOCKS5 listener no longer dies after a single transient accept error.
  • WireGuard scan retransmits lost handshake packets and covers all priority ports per endpoint.
  • Failed endpoints go on a cooldown before being re-picked.
  • --startup-secs bounds how long a MASQUE tunnel may take to come up.
