AmneziaVPN has released version 5.0.3.0 of its software across all its apps, introducing several updates and improvements. These include a new XRay-core, support for TProxy, and minor enhancements for users. The update is available for all devices, with a slightly different version, 5.0.3.1, for Android users. The software can be downloaded from the Amnezia website, GitHub, and through the Android and iOS app stores. The latest update focuses on improving the stability of the service and includes an updated XRay protocol. This protocol is a critical part of the system that helps users bypass internet censorship. The XRay protocol has been upgraded from version 1.3 to 1.4. Additionally, the update introduces support for TProxy, which is particularly useful for Linux users. TProxy allows traffic to be routed through the VPN at the transparent proxy level, making it harder for internet service providers or governments to detect and block the connection, especially for protocols like WireGuard. Other updates include features that allow self-hosted users to set up a proxy for Telegram directly from the “Self-hosted” section of the app. Premium users also see improved performance when connecting using the VLESS anti-censorship protocol. The update also includes fixes for Android warning logs, self-hosted default settings, links, and other minor issues. The new release also adds the Google Play billing library to support In-App Purchases (IAP) and introduces a new country to the list of supported locations. These changes, along with small tweaks, aim to improve the overall user experience. AmneziaVPN has been actively updating its services to counter increasing internet censorship, especially in response to actions by the Russian government. In June, the company fixed a vulnerability in its AmneziaWG protocol that had previously exposed its infrastructure to a potential cyberattack linked to Russia's media regulator, Roskomnadzor (RKN). In August, AmneziaVPN updated its AmneziaWG protocol to introduce more varied traffic patterns, making it harder for censors to detect and block the service. The company also introduced a 'mandatory update' for both Premium and Free users to enhance its blocking capabilities. These updates come after a government crackdown in Russia that blocked access to over 20 popular privacy services. The scale of the attack indicates that Roskomnadzor is developing more advanced methods to filter out VPN traffic. While these government actions make it harder for citizens to access the open internet, they are also reinforcing the idea that VPNs are becoming an essential tool for everyday internet use.
