v1.8.5

New Features

• DNSTT authoritative mode — New toggle in profile editor for aggressive query
  rate on self-hosted DNS servers
• Sleep timer — Auto-disconnect after a configurable duration (0–120 min, 5
  min steps); countdown shown on connection strip with cancel option
• DNS Scanner resume — Paused scans can now be resumed from where they left
  off instead of restarting
• DNS Scanner custom IP range — Scan a custom IP range for DNS resolvers

Improvements

• New profiles appear at top of the profile list instead of the bottom
• Max DNS resolvers per profile increased from 3 to 8

v1.8.4

Full Changelog: v1.8.3...v1.8.4
v1.8.4

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Slipstream port stuck after disconnect — Rust native thread was
  holding the port forever because SHOULD_SHUTDOWN was reset before the
  abandoned thread could see it
• Added shutdown check before QUIC setup phase so the thread exits promptly
  during reconnect cycles
• Capped idle sleep at 2s to ensure shutdown is detected within the 3s JNI
  stop timeout
• Added port fallback (+10/+20/+30/+40/+50) if preferred port is still held by
  a previous session
• Faster disconnect: reduced port wait from 5s to 1s (next connect has
  fallback if needed)
• Synchronized stopClient() to prevent double-stop race from onDestroy +
  coroutine cleanup
• Fixed database crash on first launch for users upgrading from very old
  versions (v1–v4) by adding fallbackToDestructiveMigrationFrom
• Fixed MIGRATION_6_7 default value mismatch (forward_dns_through_ssh: 1 → 0)
  that could cause schema validation failures on newer SQLite versions

New Features

• DNSTT standalone now uses DnsttSocksBridge (same architecture as Slipstream)
  with persistent DNS worker pool, Dante auth, and multi-phase resilience
• DNS Scanner: scan random IPs from country CIDR ranges (geo-based resolver
  discovery)
• Server reachability test simplified to SSH-only (DNS/tunnel pings were
  misleading)

Improvements

• QUIC liveness monitoring: automatically reconnects after 30s of QUIC being
  down (fixes background traffic dying on Samsung)
• Debug log sheet: batched updates (100ms flush timer) instead of per-line
  ArrayList copy; removed scroll animation jank
• Add-menu popup animation smoothed out with faster durations and fixed shadow
  lag
• Bridge link icons in Tor profile editor (Telegram, Web, Email)

v1.8.3

Security & Play Protect (an effort to fix Google Play Protect false positive warning)

• Replaced Runtime.exec("logcat") with in-memory log buffer (AppLog)
• Removed setExecutable() call from Snowflake bridge — another Play Protect trigger

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Slipstream proxy-only mode failing with "Protected socket: result=false" — VpnService.protect() is now
  skipped when no VPN interface exists
• Fixed CancellationException being swallowed as a connection error instead of properly rethrown — coroutine
  cancellation no longer masks the real disconnect cause

Internal

• All tunnel/bridge classes now use AppLog (in-memory ring buffer) instead of android.util.Log directly
• Debug log sheet reads from AppLog.lines StateFlow instead of parsing logcat output

v1.8.1

Full Changelog: v1.8.0...v1.8.1
Added Geo-routing for bypassing Iranian, Russian, Chinese websites (available from settings)

v1.8.0

New Features

• Kill switch — When enabled (Settings), the VPN interface stays alive if the tunnel drops, blocking all
  traffic until reconnection succeeds. Shows a "Traffic blocked" notification with a Disconnect button.
• VPN disconnect notification — Alerts the user when the VPN disconnects unexpectedly (another VPN takes over,
  or Android kills the service). Includes a one-tap Reconnect button. Not shown for user-initiated disconnects.
• Compact home screen widget (1x1) — Minimal round toggle button alongside the existing 2x1 widget. Shows
  color-coded state (green=connected, orange=connecting, gray=disconnected, red=error).
• Ping all profiles — New "Ping All Profiles" option in the overflow menu. Measures TCP or DNS-UDP latency to
  each profile's server with color-coded badges (green <300ms, orange <1000ms, red >1s). Snowflake profiles are
  skipped.
• Session traffic totals — Connection status strip now shows cumulative upload/download alongside live speed.

Improvements

• Widget contrast fix — 2x1 widget now uses proper text/icon colors per state (dark text on light backgrounds,
  white on dark).
• SlipstreamSocksBridge DNS hardening — DNS-over-TCP now always uses clean DNS (1.1.1.1) instead of the user's
  resolver, preventing poisoned results from censored DNS servers.
• Port release robustness — Slipstream and DNSTT bridges now verify ports are actually released after stopping,
  with active polling instead of blind sleeps. Prevents "port already in use" on reconnect.
• Reconnect via kill switch — All tunnel failure paths (health check, network change) now route through
  handleTunnelFailure(), which enters kill switch mode when enabled instead of silently disconnecting.
• Authoritative mode hint — Edit profile screen now shows an explanation when authoritative mode is toggled on.
• Overflow menu reorganized — Settings icon moved before the three-dot overflow menu; import/export and ping
  moved into the overflow dropdown.

Bug Fixes

• onRevoke disconnect detection — When another VPN app takes over, the user now receives a notification instead
  of silently losing protection.
• Connect after kill — Connecting after the service was killed no longer races with stale native threads;
  previous proxies are force-stopped before starting new ones.

v1.7.6

New Features

• Home screen widget — One-tap VPN toggle widget with color-coded connection status (green/orange/red) and real-time state updates
• Live traffic speed — Upload/download speed indicators displayed on the status bar when connected
• QR code from gallery — Scan QR codes from screenshots or saved images via a gallery button on the scanner screen
• First launch welcome dialog — Shows app info, GitHub link, and donation address on first open
• About dialog — Accessible from the Settings screen (help icon in top bar)
• Profile reconnect — Switch between profiles without manually disconnecting first

Bug Fixes

• HTTP proxy reliability — Fixed SOCKS5 upstream using 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 in append mode, which caused unreliable connections
• HTTP proxy restart after reconnect — HTTP proxy now automatically restarts after a VPN reconnection
• Reconnect race condition — Cancel in-flight reconnection before disconnect to prevent "port already in use" errors on next connect
• VPN permission check in proxy-only mode — Now always checks VpnService.prepare() even in proxy-only mode, detecting and revoking
  conflicting VPNs (e.g. v2ray)
• Settings port sync — Port text fields now sync correctly when DataStore values load asynchronously
• Settings bottom padding — Content no longer hidden behind the navigation bar

Performance

• Slipstream authoritative mode — Fixed tight idle poll loop by adding demand-driven poll floor (pending_polls) so response-triggered
  polls fire even when BBR pacing is zero
• Slipstream shutdown reliability — Capped idle sleep to 2 seconds so shutdown checks happen within the native stop timeout (3s),
  preventing abandoned threads holding ports

v1.7.5

• UI Improvements

SlipNet v1.7.2

What's New

• Added "Append HTTP Proxy to VPN" option, that makes some apps work better and faster with VPN (needs to be turned on from Settings)
• Added Domain Routing for creating routing rules for domains
• Drag-and-drop profile reordering — long-press and drag to reorder profiles in the profile list
• Delete All Profiles — new option in the overflow menu to delete all profiles at once
• Improved tunnel bridges, settings, and Rust runtime
• Dependency upgrades (Kotlin 2.2.21, Compose BOM 2026.01.01, OkHttp 5.3.2, Room 2.8.4)
