Our mission is to reduce carbon footprints across the globe by ensuring that every line of code is optimized for maximum efficiency. Whether you’re streaming, browsing, or gaming, RocketTunnel has you covered-without draining your device or the planet’s resources. Lean and Powerful Native Architecture --------------------------------------- At RocketTunnel’s core lies a modern, proprietary TCP/IP implementation. By using pure, native C code-free from bulky high-level SDKs-we’ve achieved a binary size of just a few megabytes, significantly smaller than many mainstream VPN apps. This streamlined approach delivers a fast, secure connection while extending your device’s battery life. Security & Supported Protocols -------------------------------- Your privacy is our top priority. That’s why RocketTunnel is built upon customized OpenSSH and OpenSSL libraries, ensuring robust encryption without sacrificing performance. We support the following protocols for versatile and secure tunneling: ● SSH - Establish a direct tunnel to a remote SSH server, ensuring private, authenticated data transfer. ● SSH-XTLS - Add an extra layer of encryption by connecting through a TLS-secured channel. ● SOCKS-XTLS - Create a secure tunnel to a remote SOCKS5 proxy server via TLS, guaranteeing privacy and data integrity. ● XTLS - Mimic a modern browser’s fingerprint (TLS with fingerprint mimicry) to circumvent highly restricted networks, ensuring your connection remains undetected by advanced firewalls. RocketTunnel also features secure public-key authentication for SSH, bolstering your defenses against unauthorized access. Advanced Features & Customization ------------------------------------ Go beyond basic VPN usage with RocketTunnel’s comprehensive feature set designed for power users and casual users alike: . BadVPN UDPGW for VoIP and Gaming - Enhance real-time communications and gaming performance. . DNS-over-TCP Resolution - Maintain domain resolution capability even when UDPGW server is unavailable. . Smart Domain Resolution - RocketTunnel queries multiple DNS servers to efficiently resolve hostnames, even if your ISP’s DNS is unresponsive. . Route Domestic Traffic Directly - Exclude domestic traffic from the tunnel for optimal routing and lower latency. . Per-Configuration Advanced Settings - Customize and override settings for UDP, QUIC, DNS strategy, and more. . Public SSH Banner Display - View server-specific SSH banner messages for important announcements. . Comprehensive Logs - Export logs in SQLite format and filter them by specific modules for in-depth troubleshooting and analysis. Accessibility & Commitment ---------------------------- We believe that secure, eco-friendly VPN technology should be accessible to everyone: . Broad iOS Compatibility - Supports iOS 12 and above, so you don’t need the latest hardware to stay protected. . Completely Free & Ad-Free - No subscription fees, no intrusive ads-your online safety shouldn’t come with hidden costs. . Planet-Friendly Mission - By continuously refining our native code, we minimize energy usage on devices worldwide, taking an active role in global sustainability Join the Green VPN Revolution ------------------------------- Enjoy secure, fast, and efficient connections with RocketTunnel-where your privacy, your battery life, and our planet’s well-being all come first.
