GitHub Issue Debate • Analyzed Apr 29, 2026

Comparison and justification of 'App-Script mode' versus 'Full Tunnel mode' with a VPS, focusing on performance, stability, and application compatibility.

The product offers a tiered approach to censorship circumvention. 'App-Script mode' is a basic, free option with inherent limitations, while 'Full Tunnel mode' with a VPS is positioned as a premium, high-performance solution. The core value of 'Full Tunnel mode' is its ability to bypass local interference and prevent VPS IP blocking by routing through Google's servers initially.

The distinction between 'App-Script mode' and 'Full Tunnel mode' is critical. 'App-Script mode' suffers from severe latency (2-7s RTT) and throughput limitations due to Google Apps Script execution overhead, rendering it unsuitable for real-time applications like Telegram. 'Full Tunnel mode' with...

Transitioning from Apps Script mode to Full Tunnel mode with a VPS, including benefits and setup guidance.

The product offers two distinct modes: Apps Script (free, limited) and Full Tunnel + VPS (paid, robust). The discussion positions the VPS mode as a superior, more stable, and feature-complete solution for users in highly censored environments.

The product clearly delineates between its free 'Apps Script mode' and the paid 'Full Tunnel mode' with a VPS. The Apps Script mode is explicitly limited by 'filter pulse Iran,' 'architectural limits' for media/calls, 'SABR cliff' for YouTube, and 'quota' restrictions. The VPS-based Full Tunnel m...

Relay stability and performance for specific services (YouTube, Telegram) and general web browsing.

The product aims for 'Free DPI bypass' and 'cross-platform desktop UI, HTTP + SOCKS5 proxy.' This issue reveals significant performance and reliability gaps, particularly for streaming and real-time applications, despite successful relay testing.

Users experience severe performance degradation and timeouts, rendering the service largely ineffective for general browsing and critical applications like YouTube and Telegram. Despite successful relay tests, actual content loading and video playback fail, indicating a deeper issue beyond initia...

An AI memory system with biological decay, using the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and a graph layer over a vector store.

A solution to improve RAG setups by managing context as a 'living substrate,' reducing token costs and degraded reasoning caused by static memory. Achieves 52% Recall@5 (nearly double stateless vector stores) and cuts token waste by roughly 84%.

This directly addresses critical limitations in current RAG systems, offering substantial improvements in efficiency and accuracy for enterprise AI applications. The biological decay mechanism and graph layer mitigate high token costs, context window saturation, and the 'logical neighbor' problem...
