This is a preview version of the major update.
With version 2.0, PowerTunnel becomes more than an anti-censorship tool. It is now an extensible proxy server that can be extended with plugins that can be written using the PowerTunnel SDK.
Anti-censorship functionality is still available, it has been split into a pre-installed LibertyTunnel plugin, just like the DNS Resolver with DoH support.
PowerTunnel SDK documentation will be available closer to the stable release.
PowerTunnel has been rewritten from scratch, dozens of bugs have been fixed.
Warning: v1.x configuration is not compatible with v2.x
A not-stable version is now indicated by an orange logo.
PowerTunnel is now licensed under the GNU GPLv3 License.
