Netra VPN: SOCKS5 Proxy Client

Netra is a bring-your-own VPN client and SOCKS5 proxy for Android power users. Import your own proxy nodes, route traffic your way, and block ads and trackers on-device — with a strict no-logs engine that never touches your data.

No subscription. No bundled servers. No accounts. Netra connects to YOUR nodes: it is the fast, private tunnel engine for people who self-host or own their own proxy subscriptions.

★ KEY FEATURES ★

🛡️ ON-DEVICE AD & TRACKER FILTERING
• Dual-Barrier Defense: local DNS interception blocks known tracking, advertising, and malware domains before they leave your device.
• Fast & Lightweight: Radix Trie matcher filters tens of thousands of rules in microseconds with minimal battery impact (under 8 MB RAM).
• Granular Control: inspect blocked connections in real time, view match rules, and whitelist trusted domains with one tap.

🌐 SOCKS5, SHADOWSOCKS & HTTP PROXY SUPPORT
• SOCKS5 Proxy Client: full RFC 1928 / 1929 support with anonymous or user/password authentication across IPv4, IPv6, and domain names.
• Shadowsocks (AEAD) VPN Tunnel: industry-standard encryption ciphers (AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305) for secure, private tunneling.
• HTTP CONNECT Proxy: high-speed encrypted HTTP proxy tunneling with Basic authentication.
• Quick Subscription Import: add your proxy nodes via standard ss://, socks5://, and http:// URI formats.

⚡ SMART RULE-BASED SPLIT TUNNELING
• Flexible Traffic Policies: custom rules using DOMAIN, DOMAIN-SUFFIX, DOMAIN-KEYWORD, and IP-CIDR.
• Per-App Split Tunnel: choose which apps use the VPN tunnel and which connect directly to your local network.
• Zero-Lag Resolution: microsecond routing keeps gaming lag, stream buffering, and browsing stutter away.

🔒 HARDWARE-BACKED PRIVACY & STRICT NO LOGS
• Strict No-Logs Architecture: 100% on-device processing. Netra never collects, logs, monitors, or sells your browsing traffic or DNS lookups.
• Hardware Keystore Vault: passwords and proxy credentials are encrypted with AES-256 in the Android Keystore.
• IPv6 Leak Protection: blackholes IPv6 leaks into the secure tunnel to protect cellular and Wi-Fi privacy.
• Secure DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH): encrypts DNS queries through verified public Anycast resolvers to stop ISP snooping.

🎨 SLEEK UI & REAL-TIME TELEMETRY
• Modern Material Design: dark/light theme switching with adaptive AMOLED support.
• Live Speedometers: real-time uplink/downlink speed graphs and connection stream inspectors.
• Encrypted Backup: export and import your proxy nodes and rules via Android Storage Access Framework.

IMPORTANT PRIVACY & VPNSERVICE DISCLOSURE:
Netra uses Android's VpnService exclusively to create a secure, local-only network tunnel on your device. This is required to capture outbound packets for proxy routing and to perform local DNS filtering. Netra operates entirely on-device and does NOT collect, monitor, or transmit personal data to external servers.
