Following up on this PR. The experimental tunnel engine has been tested locally and shows improved responsiveness and connection performance during extended usage. Please let me know if additional benchmarks, profiling data, or architectural changes are needed for review. Thanks. |
This PR adds an experimental tunnel engine intended to fix the slow-speed behavior some users can experience when Intra is enabled.
Problem:
Intra can make the internet much slower while it is running, especially on fast connections. The app may still work correctly, but downloads, uploads, video apps, and speed-sensitive services can feel much slower than they should.
Fix:
This prototype adds a new experimental tunnel engine that keeps Intra’s full protection behavior while allowing much higher network speed in testing.
The existing engine remains the default, so normal builds are not changed.
What this keeps working:
What changed:
Validation:
Why experimental:
The new engine is promising, but it needs more testing before becoming the default. It should be tested across more phones, Android versions, networks, and apps.
Known areas needing more testing:
