Built on an HTTP/2 proxy engine originally developed for our browser extension, this app is designed to make network connections look and behave more like standard browser web traffic—helping improve connection privacy and overall browsing experience. Key highlights Browser-like HTTP/2 proxy: TLS 1.3 encryption with direct TCP transport for better privacy and stability Closer to normal web browsing: HTTP/2 + TLS 1.3 + TCP-only (no UDP tunnel) Browser-style connection behavior: HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3 (TCP) with persistent connections and multiplexed streams Less “VPN tunnel” feel: HTTP/2 (TLS 1.3) traffic patterns closer to everyday browsing Technical details The app uses TLS 1.3–encrypted HTTP/2 over TCP and adopts common browser behaviors such as persistent connections and multiplexed streams, so traffic patterns more closely resemble regular web browsing instead of a typical VPN “tunnel.” Unlike many VPN/proxy solutions that rely heavily on UDP-based tunneling, this app operates TCP-only (no UDP tunnel). Since TCP is the primary transport for everyday web browsing, this design can reduce obvious VPN-like signals and lower the likelihood of traffic being classified via fingerprinting—further supporting privacy.
