Aether is a Rust-based censorship circumvention client for heavily restricted networks that discovers reachable gateways, builds encrypted tunnels via MASQUE (HTTP/3) or WireGuard, and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy. It is designed to evade DPI, protocol fingerprinting, UDP throttling, and endpoint blocking.

Use cases

• bypass internet censorship on restricted networks
• evade deep packet inspection and protocol blocking
• create a local SOCKS5 proxy tunnel
• connect to Cloudflare WARP with obfuscation
• route traffic through nested WireGuard tunnels
• use a circumvention client on Android via Termux

When to choose

• you are behind a heavily censored network with DPI or UDP throttling
• you need automatic endpoint discovery with validated data-plane connectivity
• you want MASQUE or WireGuard tunneling with traffic obfuscation
• you need a lightweight CLI client across Linux, Windows, macOS, or Termux

When to avoid

• you need a full GUI VPN client
• you require an authenticated multi-user proxy server
• you need a traditional full-tunnel VPN for all system traffic
• you cannot run Rust/CMake build tooling and need no prebuilt binaries
