RouteBoss: Routing, DNS & Diagnostics RouteBoss puts real control over your device's network traffic in your hands: WireGuard tunneling, per-network routing rules, secure DNS, and diagnostics that verify your connection instead of just claiming it's working. RouteBoss is not a VPN service — there are no included servers. Connect it to your own WireGuard endpoint (a server you run or one you already have access to), and RouteBoss handles the rest: routing, DNS, health monitoring, and recovery. Route exactly what you want Send all traffic through your connection, or route only specific networks — your choice, visible and changeable at any time. Organize multiple endpoints into groups with automatic failover, and see exactly which one is carrying your traffic right now, not just which one you configured. DNS that matches your priorities Choose Automatic Secure DNS (Cloudflare, Quad9, Google), a custom resolver, or your system default — over DoH, DoT, or plain System DNS. Every choice is inspectable, not buried in a settings file. Health checks that actually check RouteBoss verifies WireGuard handshake status, route policy, DNS policy, and endpoint reachability and latency — live, on demand — instead of assuming a saved configuration is a working one. When something needs attention, RouteBoss tells you what and why, and keeps a Restore Connectivity path ready. Network tools when you need to know for sure Test whether a host and port are actually reachable, run a DNS lookup, or check an endpoint's reachability, before you trust it. Automate without surprises Set up On-Demand triggers and Quick Rules for automatic connect/disconnect behavior — RouteBoss is explicit about what's inferred versus confirmed, so automation never quietly does something you can't explain. Simple when you want it, deep when you need it Simple Mode covers everyday protection. Expert Mode adds raw Expert Routing rules and rule-set subscriptions for full control — and RouteBoss never discards a configuration Expert Mode can represent just because Simple Mode can't display it. Privacy by default Activity logging is local, configurable, and can be turned off entirely. When it's on, every automated decision is inspectable and reversible — nothing happens silently. Bring your own WireGuard server. RouteBoss handles the routing, the DNS, and the proof that it's actually working.
