New Features

  • Kill switch — When enabled (Settings), the VPN interface stays alive if the tunnel drops, blocking all
    traffic until reconnection succeeds. Shows a "Traffic blocked" notification with a Disconnect button.
  • VPN disconnect notification — Alerts the user when the VPN disconnects unexpectedly (another VPN takes over,
    or Android kills the service). Includes a one-tap Reconnect button. Not shown for user-initiated disconnects.
  • Compact home screen widget (1x1) — Minimal round toggle button alongside the existing 2x1 widget. Shows
    color-coded state (green=connected, orange=connecting, gray=disconnected, red=error).
  • Ping all profiles — New "Ping All Profiles" option in the overflow menu. Measures TCP or DNS-UDP latency to
    each profile's server with color-coded badges (green <300ms, orange <1000ms, red >1s). Snowflake profiles are
    skipped.
  • Session traffic totals — Connection status strip now shows cumulative upload/download alongside live speed.

Improvements

  • Widget contrast fix — 2x1 widget now uses proper text/icon colors per state (dark text on light backgrounds,
    white on dark).
  • SlipstreamSocksBridge DNS hardening — DNS-over-TCP now always uses clean DNS (1.1.1.1) instead of the user's
    resolver, preventing poisoned results from censored DNS servers.
  • Port release robustness — Slipstream and DNSTT bridges now verify ports are actually released after stopping,
    with active polling instead of blind sleeps. Prevents "port already in use" on reconnect.
  • Reconnect via kill switch — All tunnel failure paths (health check, network change) now route through
    handleTunnelFailure(), which enters kill switch mode when enabled instead of silently disconnecting.
  • Authoritative mode hint — Edit profile screen now shows an explanation when authoritative mode is toggled on.
  • Overflow menu reorganized — Settings icon moved before the three-dot overflow menu; import/export and ping
    moved into the overflow dropdown.

Bug Fixes

  • onRevoke disconnect detection — When another VPN app takes over, the user now receives a notification instead
    of silently losing protection.
  • Connect after kill — Connecting after the service was killed no longer races with stale native threads;
    previous proxies are force-stopped before starting new ones.
