About this app

Aethery is a native Android client for the Aether networking core. It provides a clean, one-tap VPN interface with connection state, protocol selection, live logs, and foreground notification support.

Important: Aethery is a client UI around the Aether core – it is not a replacement or fork of Aether's networking engine. Aether handles route discovery, tunnel establishment, transport protocols, and encrypted traffic.

What Aethery does

- Native Android UI with one-tap connect - Android VpnService bridge for system-wide VPN - Quick Settings tile for connect/disconnect - Foreground notification with upload/download totals and disconnect action - Connection type picker: VPN (system-wide) or Proxy (local SOCKS5/HTTP CONNECT) - LAN sharing support - Automatic endpoint scanning with IP diagnostics and cached-gateway reconnect

Protocols

- MASQUE over HTTP/3 with HTTP/2 fallback (recommended default) - WireGuard for networks where reachable - WARP-on-WARP support via Aether core

Security & authentication

- Aether v1.8.0 Zero Trust enrolment via email OTP, service tokens, or Access JWT - Custom DNS and destination rules - Optional Zero Trust gateway filtering

Important notes

- Network filtering differs by provider and location. Connection status indicates tunnel readiness, not guaranteed reachability for every destination. - Regional restrictions may apply depending on your location.

What's new

v0.9.0Sep 2, 2026

Core (Aether v1.8.0)
Upgraded the bundled Aether core from v1.6.0 to v1.8.0. - Added upstream proxy chaining — Aether can now dial through another SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy already running on the device. - Added TLS SNI / HTTP Host sniffing for domain-based routing behind a TUN front end. - Added WARP-in-WARP support for multi-layer tunneling. - Added identity reprovisioning when Cloudflare no longer accepts the saved device. - Fixed WARP-on-WARP panics that blocked reconnection. - Fixed WireGuard shared-lock poison that could keep the entire tunnel down. - Fixed reconnect delay 0 causing tight loops. - Fixed SOCKS5 upstream authentication handling. - Fixed HTTP CONNECT proxy reading request headers inefficiently. - Fixed WireGuard scan latching onto one address; each address now gets its own ports. - Improved battery and CPU usage while connected.
Android App
Added HTTP CONNECT proxy (default 127.0.0.1:1820) alongside SOCKS5 — for clients that don't support SOCKS. - SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT listeners now work in both VPN and Proxy modes. - Added toggle for HTTP/3 → HTTP/2 fallback (on by default). - Ping is now manual — tap the graph to measure. - Default theme changed to Dynamic (follows system light/dark mode). - LAN sharing now uses username "aethery" with a generated password. - Fixed split tunneling treating Firefox and Firefox Beta as the same app. - Removed "AETHER CORE" label from the main screen. - Splash screen now runs only on cold start — rotating or returning from Settings no longer restarts the UI. - Kill switch Disconnect now properly closes the TUN instead of leaving a stuck VPN. - Scan no longer adds a default route until the tunnel is actually connected. - Reconnect no longer stops and restarts the service. - Fixed Quick Settings tile failing silently when VPN permission is missing — now opens the app to request it. - Foreground service uses specialUse (VPN) on Android 14+ with dataSync fallback. - Various UI fixes and improvements.
