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.
