    Bump to hev-socks5-tunnel 2.19.1 commit 107a5083cb33d729a476c8282745dfc2f12e48e2 (HEAD, tag: 2.19.1, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Author: hev <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 19 22:20:21 2026 +0800 HevConfig: Bump up to 2.19.1. commit 2b7c2d37d09a734fc6c82dfe5b8d7914daf214d6 Author: hev <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 19 19:44:03 2026 +0800 ThirdPart: LwIP: Update to e6d5fc6. commit 780b396b0fc3d0355fc0614e221e3446933669c4 Author: hev <[email protected]> Date: Sun Oct 18 10:25:39 2026 +0800 HevTunnelLinux: Move write iovec array off the task stack. hev_tunnel_write is called from session tasks via lwIP output, and its 8 KB iovec array on the stack makes each task touch an extra page. Make it static: the function never yields and callers hold the lwIP lock. Per-session stack usage drops from 12 KB to 8 KB. commit 70bced9f5b32ac6a67b0f2586e467da37da8aa34 Author: hev <[email protected]> Date: Sun Oct 18 10:25:39 2026 +0800 HevSocks5Tunnel: Compact small packets to reduce memory usage. Packets read from the tunnel are stored in MTU-sized pbufs, and a small packet queued by a session pins the whole buffer. Move packets of up to 2048 bytes into an exactly sized pbuf. Larger packets are still passed without copying. With 2000 idle TCP sessions, heap usage drops from 15.6 MB to 2 MB.

    Don't include 32 bit x86 ABI, no devices use it, it's only been useful when emulating API 24 devices on Intel hosts. We can enable it if needed for troubleshooting Orbot running on this API level, but don't need to ship it. Speeds up build. When people in censored areas pass around the universal APK this dramatically reduces the file size.

    Orbot iOS App

    App Info

    Orbot

    Orbot is the original free and open-source Tor-powered VPN for iOS and macOS. Orbot helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you. FEATURES: - Browse the internet over Tor. - Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs. - Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor. DISCLAIMERS: - Web browsing is much slower than through a normal VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network. - Orbot might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge). - Use of Orbot is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device. ** Orbot is free and open-source software. You can read more about Orbot and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting orbot.app **
