Why it is worth attention

It packages the entire VPN chain (engine + tunnel) into one app with advanced anti-DPI features, per-app split tunneling, and a modern dark UI, all built from open-source code with GitHub Actions.

Who it is for

  • Android users in regions with heavy internet censorship
  • Privacy-conscious individuals wanting a free, auditable VPN
  • Developers studying or contributing to Android VPN and tunnel technologies
  • Users who need to share a VPN connection from their phone to other devices

Use cases

  • Bypassing DPI and network filtering to access the open internet
  • Encrypting traffic on untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots
  • Sharing a single VPN connection with a laptop or other devices via HTTP/SOCKS proxy
  • Selectively routing only certain apps through the VPN via split tunneling

Strengths

  • Built-in Aether engine and hev-socks5-tunnel remove the need for external proxy apps
  • Amnezia-style Noize obfuscation and multiple scan modes for challenging networks
  • Per-app split tunneling with a built-in app picker and proxy mode for non-VPN usage
  • Open-source code with reproducible builds and stable in-place updates via GitHub Actions

Considerations

  • Relies on Cloudflare WARP as the exit network, which may not suit those who distrust Cloudflare
  • Requires Android 8.0 or newer and standard VPN permission
  • The signing keystore committed to the repo is public, reducing authenticity guarantees for third-party distributions

Aether Mobile

A stunning, dark Material You Android client for the Aether engine — with the tunnelling core built inside the app, so you no longer need v2rayNG.

What's new in v1.2.0

This release ships the full advanced feature set and makes in-place updates reliable.

  • Amnezia-style anti-DPI obfuscation (Noize) — Off / Light / Firewall / Balanced / GFW / Aggressive, to defeat protocol fingerprinting on heavily filtered networks.
  • New "Ironclad" scan mode — the most persistent endpoint search, for the hardest networks (adds to Turbo / Balanced / Thorough / Stealth).
  • Endpoint selection — Auto (scan the built-in ranges), Manual peer (pin one ip:port), or Custom range (type your own IP range(s) and the engine scans exactly those, e.g. 8.6.112.x, 188.114.96.0/24).
  • WireGuard keepalive, adjustable MTU (default 1280, best for Iranian mobile / aggressive DPI), TLS ClientHello fragmentation, and Encrypted Client Hello (ECH).
  • Proxy mode — run the engine + a local SOCKS5/HTTP proxy without capturing the whole device through the system VPN.
  • Per-app split tunneling — pick exactly which apps use (or skip) the tunnel, with a built-in app picker.
  • Fixes: correct "your IP" readout (no more cellular IPv6) and correct upload/download traffic figures.
  • Reliable in-place updates — the signing key is persisted inside your repo, so as long as you keep building in the same repository, new versions install right on top of the old one with no uninstall. See Updates & app signing.
  • Fixed the advanced-settings sheet — it now scrolls cleanly to the last control without clipping behind the navigation bar.
  • Fixed full-device VPN mode — CI now packages and verifies the embedded TUN-to-SOCKS core and all of its runtime dependencies in every APK.

What's new in v1.1.0

  • Quick Settings tile — connect/disconnect right from the notification shade without opening the app. Add it once: swipe down → tap the pencil/edit button in Quick Settings → drag the Aether tile into your tiles.
  • Share the VPN with your laptop or another phone — side menu → Share VPN. See Share the VPN below.
  • Advanced settings on the home screen — the tune button (top-right) ope
