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...
