# 8 VPN — English
A lightweight Android VPN client built on the **Aether** core, with **sing-box** (libbox) as the default TUN engine and **hev-socks5-tunnel** as a fallback.
Jetpack Compose, Material 3, dark and light themes, English and Persian (RTL).

## What's new in 2.8
- **Brand-new interface.** A redesigned home screen with an animated connect button, a one-glance stats card (ping, download, upload, link speed) and a collapsible connection setup panel.
- **Tidier settings.** Options are grouped into cards (General, Core & protocol, Routing, Psiphon, Tor, Advanced) with rounded inputs and one-tap choices.
- **Dark and light themes**, dynamic color on Android 12+, and smooth screen transitions.
- **sing-box core works great.** The `libbox` TUN engine runs without problems and is the default VPN engine; hev-socks5-tunnel stays available as a fallback.
## Download
The latest builds are always published in Releases (`8VPN-arm64-v8a.apk` for most phones, `8VPN-armeabi-v7a.apk` for older ones, or `8VPN-universal.apk` if you are unsure).
Check the Telegram channel @Clubapp8 or X regularly to stay up to date with the newest versions.
## Features
- **Two modes**: VPN (the whole device goes through the tunnel) or Proxy-only (a local SOCKS5 and optional HTTP proxy).
- **Route switcher**: Aether, Psiphon or Tor (Aether protocols: MASQUE, WireGuard, WARP-in-MASQUE, WARP-in-WARP), with Psiphon region selection and Tor bridge options.
- **Smart reconnect**: reconnects when the core dies, when pings fail, or when the network changes (Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data), then retries with a fresh scan.
- **Split tunneling**: include only selected apps or exclude them.
- **TUN engines**: sing-box (default, gVisor stack) with automatic fallback to hev-socks5-tunnel; the engine can be changed in Settings.
- **Live info**: ping, download/upload speed, link speed, exit IP, logs.
- Quick Settings tile, start on boot, dynamic color (Android 12+), dark / light theme.
- English and Persian UI with full RTL support.
## Screenshots
## How it works
 [code] 
DNS is answered by sing-box (DNS over TCP through the proxy). For Psiphon and Tor, non-DNS UDP is refused at once so apps fall back from QUIC to TCP.
If the library is missing or fails to start, the app falls back to hev-socks5-tunnel automatically.
Ports: SOCKS5 `1819` (configurable), Tor `1820`, Psiphon `1821`, optional HTTP `1822`.
