Advanced Exploitation Defense: Native protection against DNS Tunneling, DNS Rebinding, SNI Spoofing, and DNS Data Exfiltration. Advanced Anti-DPI Engine Packet Fragmentation: Intelligently splits TLS and QUIC Crypto ClientHello packets. Adaptive Connection Tuning: Automatically learns whether packet splitting helps or hurts reliability per connection (for TCP/TLS and QUIC connections), adapting locally without external servers. Traffic Shaping: Mimics natural timing patterns to make proxy traffic statistically harder to detect and throttle. Core Features Next-Gen Protocols: Supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH) & DNS over QUIC (DoQ / HTTP/3). Custom DNSoH Endpoints: Compatible with Cloudflare, Google, AdGuard, NextDNS, or any custom URL. System-Wide Blocking: Stop ads and trackers using your favorite filter lists. You can temporarily disable the ADBlocking using the toggle in the widget (no need to open the app) Performance Optimization: On-device DNS cache for instant responses, per-domain proxy routing, and automatic Wi-Fi whitelisting.
