Superseded. This version's download has been removed; please install the latest release, or build this version from its source code (tag above). Updates install over the top and keep your settings.

One tap to start, and an easier first run.

One tap to start

  • Put a shortcut for your app on the home screen: under Target apps, tap Home screen shortcut.
  • Tapping it ticks the app if needed, shows the floating button and opens the app in one go. The icon is the app's own at full size (your home screen may add a small SocketFlip mark to it).
  • If the tunnel is already up for other apps, the shortcut takes it down first, so the first tap reconnects this app too. If another VPN app is on and you have not seen SocketFlip's warning about it yet, the shortcut opens SocketFlip to show it first.

An easier first run

  • After you allow Display over other apps, SocketFlip carries on by itself: no second tap, and the next step stays on screen ("Step 2 of 3").

  • Before Android's VPN warning appears, SocketFlip says what it means: the tunnel covers only your ticked apps, nothing is read from it, and there is no internet permission.

  • A new app picker with icons and a search box. Apps that Android knows are games are listed first.

  • When a tap cannot reconnect, the reason now stays in a notification; tap it to open Check setup.

  • Check setup: Fix on Target apps opens the app list, and Report a problem opens a new bug report in your browser with the setup report filled in (never your apps).

  • Home screen shortcuts that cannot run yet say why and walk you through the setup.

  • A new adaptive icon that follows your launcher's shape, with a themed (monochrome) version.

  • Still no internet permission.

Install over the top of any earlier version; your settings are kept.
