Local Share vs Ghostlane

Transfer files instantly between your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices — no internet required, no cloud, no accounts. How it works Local Share automatically discovers nearby devices on your Wi-Fi network. Tap a device, pick your files, and they arrive in seconds. Everything stays on your local network. Why Local Share - No internet needed — works entirely over your local Wi-Fi - No accounts or sign-up — open the app and go - No file size limits — send photos, videos, documents, anything - Private by design — your files never touch a server Simple to use Open Local Share, see your nearby devices instantly, tap to send. The receiver gets a prompt to accept, chooses where to save, and opens the file right away. --- Requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network By using this app, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Ghostlane carries your traffic inside a video call. Most tunnels are recognisable. On a network that inspects what passes through it and drops anything shaped like a VPN, they stop working — not because the encryption failed, but because the shape of the connection gave it away. olcRTC is a different answer. It opens a WebRTC media session to a public meeting service — the same kind of call the network already carries all day — and moves your traffic inside it. What stays on the wire is a video call. ROOMS, AND HOW FULL THEY ARE An olcRTC relay holds a fixed number of slots, and a full room cannot take you. So the app asks each room how full it is and shows that in the list, before you pick one. It is the sort of thing you only need when the thing you are connecting to has rooms. IT ALSO SPEAKS THE ORDINARY PROTOCOLS A call-shaped tunnel costs bandwidth, and it is not needed until it is. The same app connects over the standard transports too, and you move between them as the network around you changes: • VLESS with Reality • VLESS over TLS, including through a CDN • Hysteria2, with Salamander obfuscation • XHTTP One app, because the moment you need the fallback is the worst possible moment to be installing another one. BRINGING YOUR OWN SERVERS Add a server list by pasting its link, scanning its QR code, or importing a file. The app groups servers by where they came from, filters them by protocol, remembers which exit you last used, and refreshes the list on a schedule you choose. Connecting routes the whole device through the exit you picked, using Apple's own packet tunnel. The status screen shows how long the session has been up and how much has gone through it. MEASURING Latency is measured where it can honestly be measured: through the tunnel for the connection you are on, and by ICMP echo for a server you are not connected to. Where neither is possible the app says so instead of showing a number it guessed. PRIVACY Nothing is collected. No account, no analytics, no advertising identifier, no crash reporting service. Your server lists and the app's own log stay on the device and are never sent anywhere. The app talks to exactly two kinds of address: the server-list URL you added, and the VPN servers in it. The one exception is a partner link that has to be resolved into a server-list URL, and that request carries the link and nothing about you. REQUIREMENTS A server configuration from a VPN provider: a server-list URL, a QR code, or a pasted link. The app does not sell one and does not include one. Any provider that speaks the protocols above will work. OPEN SOURCE https://github.com/ghostlane-project/ghostlane
