Update - February 22, 2026

OrbVPN App (v20.1.0) — Censorship Resistance

  • CDN Fronting: CDN-fronted transport for WireGuard, OrbConnect, and VLESS across all platforms
  • Anti-Censorship Toolkit: TLS fragmentation, uTLS fingerprinting, TCP segment splitting, and SSH tunneling
  • Adaptive Failover: Cloudflare Workers as the default with CDN-fronted auth on all 33 servers; failover later reverted to the primary api.orbai.world endpoint after the Workers route proved unreliable on some restricted networks
  • VLESS: CDN WebSocket ALPN, DNS-over-HTTPS, and transport reordering tuned for high-censorship networks
  • Smart Connect: Bridge execution wired into Smart Connect
  • Stability: iOS tunnel stability and protocol-switch fixes; Android fdsan crash fix; WireGuard wg-go isolated in a separate Android process to prevent Go runtime conflicts with VLESS/gomobile

OrbNET Go Backend

  • Amazon IAP: Amazon in-app purchase provider, gRPC proto updates, and SSH tunnel support
  • Subscriptions: Derive is_token_based from plan price on all subscription updates

OrbMESH Server

  • SSH Tunneling: SSH tunnel handlers, health endpoint, a dedicated SSH TUN device (tun-ssh0, 10.12.0.0/24), and SSH bridge mode with NAT/iptables routing
  • OrbConnect Keepalive: Heartbeat to keep tunnels stable on high-latency, restricted networks
  • VLESS Reality: Reality port architecture (2083), Dockerfile entrypoint extraction, and bridge config updates
