# CluvexStudio/Aether > A Rust censorship-circumvention client that auto-discovers reachable routes, builds an encrypted tunnel over MASQUE (HTTP/3 and HTTP/2) or WireGuard, and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy for apps. Aimed at networks with DPI, protocol fingerprinting and endpoint blocking. - Magnitude: 1.3 out of 10 — Steady - Stars: 2,198 total · +1 star measured 2026-10-16, 00:11–11:30 UTC, ≈ 4 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Security · Language: Rust · License: AGPL-3.0 · Created: 2026-07-14 · Last push: 2026-10-13 - GitHub: https://github.com/CluvexStudio/Aether · Homepage: https://t.me/CluvexStudio · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/CluvexStudio/Aether ## Useful for - Run a local SOCKS5 proxy and point a browser at it on a DPI-filtered network - Deploy the static binary on an OpenWrt router and share the proxy over LAN - Run the tunnel in Docker while persisting the WARP identity across restarts ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:11–11:30: 2197 → 2198 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 180 - Issues and pull requests: 148 - Watchers: 20 - Average over the last week: 10 per day - Usual pace: 11 per day - Latest release: v2.3.0 (2026-10-04) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-05 … 2026-11-03: 21, 14, 9, 8, 10, 5, 4, 4, 8, 38, 9, 2, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 10-03 1.8, 10-04 1.4, 10-05 2.4, 10-06 2.5, 10-07 2.2, 10-08 2.0, 10-09 1.7, 10-10 1.8, 10-11 1.6, 10-12 1.4, 10-13 1.6, 10-14 2.0, 10-15 2.5, 10-16 1.4 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
