Advanced, High-Performance Censorship Circumvention Client for Android
AetherST Tunnel is a production-grade VPN client for Android, meticulously engineered to provide secure and stable connectivity in highly restricted network environments. By combining the power of the Aether Core with the proven HEV SOCKS5 engine, AetherST offers a robust solution against Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and protocol-based blocking.
- 🛡️ Stealth Connectivity: Specifically optimized to bypass protocol fingerprinting and DPI.
- 🚀 Advanced Transports: Comprehensive support for MASQUE, WireGuard, Gool (WG-in-WG), and Cloudflare Zero Trust.
- 📡 Intelligent Scanning: Real-time gateway discovery with data-plane validation before connection.
- ⚡ Native Performance: Powered by a C-based native packet engine (HEV) for high throughput and low latency.
- 📱 Modern UI: Clean, iOS-inspired dashboard built with Jetpack Compose for a premium user experience.
- 🛠️ Developer-Ready: Built-in diagnostics, real-time logging, and flexible protocol presets.
AetherST Tunnel leverages cutting-edge protocols to ensure connectivity even in the most hostile network environments:
The flagship protocol for stealth. By tunneling traffic over QUIC (H3) or TLS (H2), it makes VPN traffic look like standard web browsing, making it highly resilient to Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).
A modern, high-performance VPN protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. It is optimized for maximum speed and minimal battery drain on mobile devices.
A specialized nested WireGuard configuration (Nested WireGuard). By wrapping one WireGuard tunnel inside another, it provides an additional layer of encryption and obfuscation, effectively bypassing many restrictive firewalls and improving stability.
Enterprise-grade security for individuals and organizations. It allows you to route your traffic through Cloudflare's global network using Gateway filtering and Service Tokens, ensuring zero-trust access control and protection against malware and phishing.
Coming Soon!
