AEGIS is an autonomous, ultra-lightweight, and luxury DPI evasion client for Windows.
Engineered from the ground up for high-durability censorship circumvention across aggressive state-level firewalls.
Delivered as a single, self-contained standalone executable (flow.exe). Zero installers. Zero .NET dependencies.
- Universal Multi-Protocol Engine (v2rayN Parity): Powered directly by Xray-core v26 — 100% identical compatibility with v2rayN and 3x-ui. Natively parses and runs all standard proxy links:
vless://(Reality, WS, gRPC),vmess://(Base64 JSON),trojan://, andss://(Shadowsocks). - Single Executable (
flow.exe): Everything needed is embedded in one ultra-compact portable binary (~22 MB). No runtime installation, Python, or .NET required. - Embedded Production Core: Integrates official Xray-core v26.9.30 and signed Wintun 0.14.1 virtual network driver. Full native support for VLESS Reality (XTLS Vision) without TLS handshake verification reset errors.
- Autonomous Neural & Genetic Fragment Slicing: Dynamically discovers optimal TLS packet boundaries to evade deep packet inspection while strictly avoiding anomalous patterns that trigger ISP heuristic scanners.
- Carrier-Split Auto-Routing: Automatically identifies your active ISP (MCI, Irancell, Mokhaberat, Rightel) and dynamically routes through carrier-optimized endpoints.
- Persistent Real Delay RTT: Native v2rayN-style persistent HTTP latency tracking directly through the active tunnel.
- Safe-by-Default Architecture: Fragment is OFF by default for direct high-speed connections and can be toggled on with one click as an evasive weapon. Clean IP scanning is automatically bypassed on direct server IPs.
- Live Diagnostics Console: Integrated real-time log viewer directly accessible from the dashboard header.
- Zero-Footprint OpSec: Guaranteed fail-safe Windows registry proxy cleanup upon exit. Zero leftover dead proxy configurations.

AEGIS does not treat censorship circumvention as a guessing game. It features an integrated Reinforcement Learning Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) optimizer paired with an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm:
DPI middleboxes inspect the TLS ClientHello packet to detect the SNI (Server Name Indication). While slicing packets can defeat naive SNI filters, crude or static fragmentation generates distinct transport-layer anomalies that ISP heuristic classifiers flag, leading to packet throttling or silent blackholing.
AEGIS solves this through dynamic evolution:
-
Genetic Exploration: The engine mutates packet boundary cutoffs (
pktMin,pktMax) and inter-packet delay intervals (delayMs) across micro-generations. -
Fitness Evaluation: Each parameter set is evaluated against real throughput, jitter, and TCP RST/timeout events:
$$\text{Fitness} = w_1 \cdot \text{Throughput} - w_2 \cdot \text{RTT} - w_3 \cdot \text{PacketLoss} - w_4 \cdot \text{Jitter}$$ -
Thompson Sampling: Models packet distributions as a stochastic multi-armed bandit with Beta Priors
$\text{Beta}(\alpha, \beta)$ , striking the perfect balance between testing evasive boundaries and exploiting proven stable paths.
- Direct Server IPs: When connected directly to a VPS or dedicated proxy IP, AEGIS automatically bypasses Clean IP scanning to eliminate useless background probes and save system resources.
- Cloudflare / CDN Workers: Automatically activates the Clean IP latency ranking engine to discover unthrottled Anycast edge IPs.
- Strict Default OFF: TLS Fragment is disabled by default to provide maximum speed and minimum latency on unblocked routes.
- Weapon on Demand: When encountering network throttling or SNI blocks, flipping the interactive Fragment switch activates the AI evasion suite.
- Manual Lock: Users can freeze parameters at any time via the Lock Manual Values control.
AEGIS embeds the complete 64-bit sing-box v1.14.2 engine and the signed Wintun 0.14.1 driver directly inside flow.exe. It extracts runtime components to an isolated temporary namespace with zero disk residue upon termination.
No manual protocol selection or conversion needed:
- VLESS: Supports Reality (
xtls-rprx-vision), WebSocket, gRPC, and raw TCP. - VMess: Decodes standard Base64 JSON configurations across all transports.
- Trojan: Full TLS support with custom SNI and ALPN negotiation.
- Shadowsocks: Supports both modern SIP002 URIs and legacy Base64 formats.
- Hysteria2: High-throughput UDP obfuscation for severe loss conditions.
- System Proxy Mode (Default): Runs seamlessly with standard user privileges. Configures the loopback HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy (
127.0.0.1:2080) for all Windows browsers, Telegram, and standard desktop applications. - Virtual TUN Mode: When executed with elevated permissions (Run as Administrator), AEGIS initializes the high-speed Wintun virtual network adapter, routing all system UDP and TCP traffic with near-zero overhead.
- 1350 MTU Clamping: Specifically tuned for Iranian telecom backbones to eliminate silent TCP packet drops caused by encapsulation overhead.
- Zero-Latency In-Memory DNS: Built-in 4,096-record DoH cache eliminates round-trip lookup delays for complex, asset-heavy modern web apps.
