What's New
ZDT-D Update
This update improves VPN/netd profile stability, refines the app UI, fixes app search behavior, and adds optional Zygisk protection.
Main Changes
Improved VPN/netd handling
VPN profile startup through Android netd is now more reliable.
ZDT-D now detects network creation errors more accurately, handles different Android behaviors more safely, and keeps additional history for troubleshooting.
Additional post-apply checks were also added to make it easier to understand whether routes and rules were actually applied.
Improved proxyInfo
Additional protection was added for IP addresses of interfaces created by ZDT-D.
Behavior was also improved on devices where some networking features are not supported. This should reduce unnecessary errors and make the module more stable.
Updated app interface
The Programs section has been renamed to Tools.
Tool display names were updated:
DNSCrypt
DPITunnel
OpenVPN
Zapret
Zapret 2
ByeDPI
Tool descriptions were also improved. Settings screens now show clearer descriptions for each specific tool.
Improved app search
App search was fixed in:
proxyInfo
Blocked QUIC
Search is now more convenient: both selected and available apps are filtered. If there are no matches, a clear message is shown.
Description
ZDT-D is a root module for Android designed for advanced network compatibility, DPI circumvention, DNS handling, and local proxy orchestration.
Unlike a classic Android VPN app, ZDT-D does not rely on VpnService as its primary traffic engine.
Instead, it uses a root daemon, iptables/ip6tables, UID-based routing, NFQUEUE, and local transparent redirection to selectively pass traffic into different processing pipelines.
The project includes:
- a local Rust daemon (zdtd)
- an Android application for configuration and status control
- bundled networking tools for different routing and DPI-bypass scenarios
What makes ZDT-D different from a classic VPN
A traditional Android VPN usually works through VpnService, creates a virtual TUN interface, and routes traffic through a single VPN pipeline.
ZDT-D uses a different model:
- works with root privileges
- applies rules through iptables / ip6tables
- routes traffic by Android app UID
- supports NFQUEUE-based packet processing
- supports transparent redirect to local services on 127.0.0.1
- can combine multiple engines for different scenarios instead of forcing one global VPN tunnel
This makes ZDT-D closer to a root-based transparent traffic manager than to a standard VPN client.
Traffic routing model
ZDT-D supports more than one traffic handling path.
A. NFQUEUE path
Used for packet-level processing.
Typical logic:
- selected Android packages are converted into UIDs
- iptables rules are added in mangle
- matching traffic is sent to NFQUEUE
- userspace processor handles the packets
B. Transparent local redirection
Used for local service pipelines.
Typical logic:
- selected Android app UIDs are resolved
- iptables rules are attached to OUTPUT
- traffic is redirected to local listeners on 127.0.0.1:<port>
- local component processes the stream
C. DNS handling
dnscrypt-proxy can be started before the rest of the pipeline so DNS resolution can be handled in a controlled way.
How app selection works
ZDT-D does not blindly route all device traffic.
It can work with selected applications:
1. package names are collected from user settings
2. package names are resolved into Linux UIDs
3. iptables rules are generated using -m owner --uid-owner
4. only traffic belonging to those apps is redirected or queued
This allows more selective routing than a simple "all traffic through one tunnel" design.
Runtime protection
ZDT-D includes a runtime protector for important service processes.
Depending on configuration, it can:
- acquire a kernel wake lock
- adjust oom_score_adj
- work in Off, On, or Auto mode
- react differently to screen-on / screen-off states
This part is intended to improve service stability during idle or power-managed device states.
Privacy
ZDT-D does not collect, transmit, sell, share, or use personal data.
All configuration, routing, rule management, and runtime control required for the module to work are performed locally on the installed device.
The project does not require remote telemetry or analytics for core functionality.
If the application connects to external resources, it does so only for actions explicitly requested by the user, such as checking releases or downloading updates from official upstream sources.
Safety
- Some antivirus products may flag DPI-related tools because they work with low-level network behavior.
- ZDT-D is intended for advanced network compatibility, routing control, and research / enthusiast use.
- Device compatibility may vary depending on ROM behavior, SELinux handling, kernel options, and root environment.
- Some features depend on working iptables/ip6tables support on the device.
Notes
- IPv6 behavior may differ across devices and firmware builds.
- Some functions may depend on the behavior of the root environment and firmware implementation.
