What's Changed

  • Parallel E2E scanning — end-to-end tunnel tests now run concurrently for faster resolver evaluation for DNSTT/NoizDNS
  • Hidden DNS resolvers — profile creators can now hide resolver addresses from users, preventing exposure of DNS server
    infrastructure
  • Add cross-platform CLI client for macOS, Linux, and Windows by @mirzaaghazadeh in #52
  • Fix Android boot, widget, and reconnect flows by @yappologistic in #48
  • Fix E2E test SSH variant detection for NoizDNS_SSH profiles by @anonvector in #49
  • DNS payload size, scanner overhaul, bridge and resolver updates by @anonvector in #55
  • Faster broken connection detection — SOCKS profiles (SSH/Naive) now detect failures in ~30s instead of ~120s
  • Scanner UI overhaul — sortable E2E results, collapsible search, background scanning, neighbor toggle

v2.2.3:

VPN

  • Removed gstatic data probing — the periodic end-to-end probe (HTTP request to
    www.gstatic.com/generate_204 through the tunnel) has been removed.

Scanner

  • Background scanning — scan continues when the app is backgrounded (wake lock keeps CPU alive)
  • Collapsible search bar — hidden by default, toggle via search icon in the toolbar to save screen space
  • Neighboring IP toggle — new "Scan neighboring IPs" setting to enable/disable /24 subnet expansion
  • System back stops scan — pressing back gesture/button now properly stops the scan (previously only the
    toolbar arrow did)
  • E2E timeout increased — default raised from 7s to 9s for better results on slower networks
  • Performance — cached working IPs list to avoid redundant filtering on every recomposition

UI

  • Profile name overflow fix — long profile names no longer push "Selected"/"Connected" badges off-screen
  • Scan button prominence — "Scan for Working Resolvers" in edit profile is now a filled button
  • Server setup guides relocated — moved to bottom of edit profile form with clearer styling and
    tunnel-specific labels

Build

  • Lite flavor multi-ABI — lite now produces arm64, armeabi-v7a, and universal APKs (was arm64-only)

v2.2.1

New: NoizDNS Protocol

  • New tunnel type: NoizDNS — a DPI-evasion layer on top of DNSTT
  • Optional stealth mode for environments with aggressive DPI (slower speed, harder to detect)
  • Works with both standalone and SSH tunnel modes

Build Variants

  • Full: All tunnel types including Tor (Snowflake/obfs4/Meek) and NaiveProxy. Supports arm64 and
    armeabi-v7a.
  • Lite: All tunnel types except Tor and NaiveProxy. arm64-only for smaller APK size (10mb only).
  • Both variants include DNSTT, NoizDNS, Slipstream, SSH, and DoH.

DNS Scanner Improvements

  • Focus range: when a working resolver is found during country/range scans, automatically scans the /24
    subnet to discover nearby resolvers
  • EDNS payload size probing — tests 512, 900, and 1232 byte support individually
  • NXDOMAIN hijacking detection — identifies resolvers that return fake answers
  • Scanner score now 6-point (was 5): added EDNS size and NXDOMAIN tests
  • E2E test on DNSTT configs now verifies actual server reachability
  • E2E progress: currently-tested IP is highlighted in the results list with phase indicator
  • E2E results shown as colored chips (green/red) with latency on each resolver
  • Export and copy found DNS IPs directly from the scan results screen
  • Memory optimization: only working results kept in memory, enabling larger scans without crashes
  • Easier export of found DNS IPs directly from the scan results screen
  • Country-based IP range scanning — select specific IP ranges per country for targeted DNS discovery
  • Removed 90 duplicate IPs from built-in resolver list
  • Added score filter options up to 5+

Profile Sharing & Locking

  • Set expiration date on shared configs — access automatically revoked after the date
  • Bind configs to a specific device ID — prevents use on other devices
  • Control whether recipients can re-share the config

Build & Performance

  • Lite build is now arm64-only — smaller APK size
  • Full build still supports both arm64 and armeabi-v7a
  • Improved CI caching for faster builds

Other

  • Debug log screen improvements
  • Various stability and tunnel reliability fixes

Full Changelog: v2.0.1...v2.1.0

What's New in v2.1.0

Encrypted Config Export

  • Locked profiles now export as slipnet-enc:// links using AES-256-GCM encryption
  • Ensures server credentials stay protected when sharing configs

End-to-End Tunnel Testing

  • DNS scanner now supports E2E testing: verify resolvers work through actual DNSTT/Slipstream tunnels
  • Transparent proxy detection to identify resolvers that interfere with tunnel traffic
  • Default E2E timeout set to 7000ms

Faster TCP Fallback

  • All non-DNS UDP is now rejected with ICMP Port Unreachable at the native level
  • Apps like WhatsApp and browsers fall back to TCP instantly instead of waiting for timeouts

Battery Optimization

  • New prompt on first connect to disable battery optimization for reliable background VPN
  • Battery optimization setting added to Settings screen with current status

Locked Profile Privacy

  • Locked profiles show "Locked" instead of the server domain in the profile list
  • Tunnel type always visible below locked profiles
  • DNS scanner uses google.com instead of the real domain for locked profiles

Other Changes

  • Added Telegram channel link (t.me/SlipNet_app) to About and Welcome dialogs
  • Shared About dialog content between Settings and Welcome screens
  • Locked DNSTT/Slipstream profiles can now edit DNS transport and resolvers
  • Updated Tor to 0.4.9.5
  • Dropped x86/x86_64 ABI support (ARM only)

v2.0.1

Full Changelog: v2.0...v2.0.1

  • Fix NaiveProxy crash "Not a numeric address" when server hostname resolves to an IPv6 (AAAA)
    address. DNS resolution now prefers IPv4, and IPv6 addresses are properly bracketed for
    Chromium's host-resolver-rules parser.

New Features

  • Locked Profiles — Admins can now export profiles with a lock password for distribution. Locked
    profiles hide all server details from end users while allowing connect/disconnect and delete.
    Enter the admin password to permanently unlock.
  • Auto-Reconnect — Automatically reconnects when the VPN drops or the network changes, with up
    to 5 retries at 3-second intervals.
  • DNS Scanner Selection Limit — Prevents selecting too many resolvers from the DNS scanner.
  • Adaptive Icon — New adaptive launcher icon for modern Android home screens.

Bug Fixes

  • DNSTT+SSH DNS Resolution — Fixed websites not loading on DNSTT+SSH by defaulting to the
    server's local resolver (127.0.0.53) instead of external DNS (8.8.8.8), which often closes
    long-lived TCP connections through SSH tunnels.
  • SSH Session Liveness Detection — Active SSH keepalive probe every 30 seconds detects dead
    sessions that passive checks miss (NAT timeout, server crash), triggering auto-reconnect
    immediately.

New Features

  • Standalone NaiveProxy tunnel type — Direct NaiveProxy connection without SSH chaining, simpler setup with fewer credentials needed
  • DoH server list import — Import DoH server URLs from text files for bulk scanning/testing
  • Direct / + SSH toggle — NaiveProxy edit screen shows "Direct" and "+ SSH" labels

Bug Fixes

  • SSH curve25519 key exchange — Fixed Algorithm negotiation fail when server only offers curve25519-sha256 by bundling BouncyCastle for X25519 support on Android
  • Profile deletion while disconnected — Fixed bug where profiles couldn't be deleted after VPN stopped externally (stale connected
    profile state)

Improvements

  • Battery optimizations — Reduced DNS worker pool (10→5), increased keepalive interval (20s→40s), reduced DoH senders (32→12)
  • Dynamic DNS pool in authoritative mode — Worker pool scales to 10 when using your own DNSTT servers for maximum throughput

New: SlipGate (NaiveProxy + SSH)

  • New tunnel type: SlipGate — chains NaiveProxy (Chromium-based HTTPS tunnel) with SSH for a fully encrypted, censorship-resistant connection: https://github.com/anonvector/slipgate
  • NaiveProxy mimics Chrome's TLS fingerprint, making tunnel traffic indistinguishable from normal HTTPS browsing
  • NaiveBridge: manages NaiveProxy process lifecycle with SOCKS5 local proxy
  • NaiveSocksProxy: bridges hev-socks5-tunnel to NaiveProxy with CONNECT and FWD_UDP support
  • Pre-resolves server IP before connecting to prevent ISP DNS poisoning

Network Resilience

  • SlipGate survives network changes (wifi ↔ cellular) — full two-phase reconnection (NaiveProxy restart, then SSH re-establishment)
  • Auto-tune SSH max channels per tunnel type for better performance

Reachability Test

  • "Test Server Reachability" now works for all tunnel types (DNSTT, Slipstream, DoH, SlipGate) — only Snowflake/Tor is skipped
  • Smart ping target selection per tunnel type (resolver host, DoH server, SSH host, etc.)

Deep Links

  • Added slipnet:// URI deep link support — tap a link to import profiles directly
