Multik Sila 1.0.24

What's new

• Android: large server lists connect again. With a big subscription — the free
  lists now have 400+ servers in one file — tapping the shield did nothing, and half a
  minute later the app closed. The configuration was too large for Android to hand to
  the VPN service in one message. It now goes through a file, so the size of the list
  no longer matters. A list that connected last week could stop connecting simply
  because it grew.
• Android: when the VPN does not start, the app says why — right under the shield,
  not only in the log.
• If another VPN app is running on the phone (Android allows only one at a time), the
  app says so: turn it off, and if it has "Always-on VPN" enabled in Android settings,
  turn that off too.

Which file do I need?

Device	File
Windows 10 / 11	MultikSila-1.0.24-setup.exe

Already using Multik Sila on Windows? It offers this update on its own.
MultikSila-1.0.24-windows-x64.zip is what it downloads for that — you don't need it.

On Android with 1.0.13 or newer the app offers this update itself; the first time,
Android asks you to allow installing from Multik Sila. On 1.0.12 or older, install this
file by hand once.

Technical details

• The sing-box config and the Xray bridge configs were passed to the VPN service as
  Intent extras. For the 405-server BLACK_VLESS_RUS.txt the parcel was 596 080 bytes:
  startForegroundService failed with TransactionTooLargeException, and 30 s later
  Android killed the app with ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException. Now the
  activity writes them to next_tunnel.json in the app's private files and starts the
  service with no payload.
• Checked on an emulator with the same list: the tunnel comes up with all 405 servers in
  the core's selector, traffic gets through, no crash. All five igareck lists also pass
  sing-box check (1.14.2) and xray run -test through the app's own config builder.
• No changes for Windows in this release.
