Geph 5.8.0 is here!
This is one of our biggest releases since 5.0, on desktop and mobile. Geph now runs on a new background-service architecture, VPN mode is on by default and protected by a kill switch, servers can be switched without disconnecting — and yes, there's finally a tray icon.
New features
- Tray icon: Geph now lives in the system tray on Windows, macOS, and Linux (including Flatpak) — control your connection without keeping the window open.
- Background service architecture: the VPN engine now runs as a persistent system service ("Geph Manager": boot-time scheduled task on Windows, systemd service on Linux) instead of inside the GUI process. Closing the window no longer disconnects you, and your tunnel comes back automatically after reboot.
- Kill switch: VPN mode now has fail-closed leak protection on all desktop platforms (WFP on Windows, PF on macOS). If the tunnel drops, traffic stops — even if Geph itself crashes.
- Live server switching, on every platform: changing exit servers no longer requires disconnecting first — on desktop, iOS, and Android alike. The switch is instant and leak-free.
- macOS full-tunnel VPN: VPN mode, previously unavailable on macOS, is now fully supported. The Windows implementation was also rewritten on top of WinTUN — a proper virtual network adapter (the same technology as WireGuard) — replacing the old WinDivert packet-interception driver. Expect faster speeds and lower CPU usage in VPN mode.
Changes
- VPN mode is now the default for new installations, protecting your whole device out of the box. The local SOCKS5/HTTP proxy is now an optional toggle, off by default on fresh installs. Existing installs keep their current settings.
- Settings apply while connected: network settings take effect immediately, without reconnecting.
- Network settings reorganized into "Local network" and "Connection" sections. Sharing your proxy with other devices? Your LAN addresses are now displayed in-app, and LAN passthrough is configurable.
- IPv6 support in VPN mode, with automatic IPv4-only fallback.
Fixes
- Fixed stuck and truncated downloads: apps that signal "done sending" mid-connection (curl and many HTTP clients do this) could have their response stream killed early. Downloads now complete reliably in both proxy and VPN mode.
- Fixed UDP in China-whitelist mode: with "bypass PRC traffic" enabled, UDP traffic (DNS, QUIC, calls) to whitelisted hosts was silently broken. It now passes through correctly.
- Fixed account secret display in RTL languages: in Arabic/Persian UI, account secrets and invite codes could render scrambled.
- macOS universal build: one download, native on both Apple Silicon and Intel (macOS 10.15+).
iOS & Android
- Reorganized settings on both apps, matching the new desktop layout.
- Android: the local SOCKS5/HTTP proxy is now an optional toggle, with your LAN addresses shown in-app for proxy sharing.
- iOS: more reliable Plus purchases (App Store price loading now retries instead of failing), and several stability fixes — including a crash when disconnecting.
CLI
The command-line client now has a Mullvad-style interface: geph5 connect, geph5 status, geph5 vpn on, geph5 reconnect, etc. The background service is managed with geph5 manager register-manager.
As always, Geph is entirely open-source and community-funded — follow development or contribute on our GitHub!
迷雾通 5.8.0 正式发布！
这是自 5.0 以来最大的更新之一，覆盖桌面端和移动端。迷雾通现在采用全新的后台服务架构，VPN 模式默认开启并配备防泄漏开关，切换服务器无需断开——对了，托盘图标也终于有了。
新功能
- 托盘图标：迷雾通现在常驻系统托盘，支持 Windows、macOS 和 Linux（含 Flatpak）——不用一直开着窗口也能控制连接。
- 后台服务架构：VPN 核心现在作为常驻系统服务运行（「Geph Manager」：Windows 上为开机计划任务，Linux 上为 systemd 服务），不再依附于图形界面进程。关闭窗口不再断开连接，重启后隧道自动恢复。
- 防泄漏开关（kill switch）：VPN 模式在全桌面平台支持 fail-closed 防泄漏（Windows 用 WFP，macOS 用 PF）。隧道断开时流量立即停止——即使程序本身崩溃也不会泄露。
- 不断线切换服务器，全平台支持：更换出口节点无需先断开——桌面端、iOS、Android 均支持，切换即时完成，全程无泄漏。
- macOS 全局 VPN：此前 macOS 上不可用的 VPN 模式现已完整支持；Windows 实现也基于 WinTUN 重写——这是一个真正的虚拟网卡（与 WireGuard 相同的技术），取代了旧的 WinDivert 报文拦截驱动，VPN 模式下速度更快、CPU 占用更低。
变化
- 新安装默认启用 VPN 模式，开箱即用保护全设备流量。本地 SOCKS5/HTTP 代理变为可选开关，新装默认关闭。现有用户的设置不受影响。
- 设置即时生效：网络设置在连接状态下立即应用，无需重连。
- 网络设置重新整理为「本地网络」与「连接」两部分。要共享代理给其他设备？局域网 IP 现在直接显示在应用里，局域网绕行行为也可配置。
- VPN 模式支持 IPv6，不可用时自动回退至仅 IPv4。
修复
- 修复下载卡住和中断：部分应用会在连接中途发出「发送完毕」信号（curl 和许多 HTTP 客户端如此），导致响应数据流被提前切断。现在代理和 VPN 模式下下载都能可靠完成。
- 修复中国白名单模式下的 UDP 问题：开启「绕过中国大陆流量」时，发往白名单地址的 UDP 流量（DNS、QUIC、通话等）会静默失效，现已正常。
- 修复从右到左语言下的账户密钥显示：在阿拉伯语/波斯语界面中，账户密钥和邀请码可能显示乱序。
- macOS 通用安装包：一次下载，原生支持 Apple Silicon 与 Intel（macOS 10.15+）。
iOS 与 Android
- 两个移动应用的设置页同步重新整理，与桌面端新布局一致。
- Android：本地 SOCKS5/HTTP 代理变为可选开关，应用内直接显示局域网 IP 方便共享代理。
- iOS：Plus 购买更可靠（App Store 价格加载失败时自动重试），并修复了多个稳定性问题——包括断开连接时可能发生的崩溃。
命令行
命令行客户端现提供 Mullvad 风格界面：geph5 connect、geph5 status、geph5 vpn on、geph5 reconnect 等。后台服务通过 geph5 manager register-manager 管理。
一如既往，迷雾通完全开源、由社区资助——欢迎关注或贡献代码：GitHub 页面！
