WireSock Secure Connect - 3.5.8.1 ​

Release date: 2026-07-31

Here is the new beta build of WireSock Secure Connect 3.5.8.1

Please treat it as a beta release — feedback and bug reports are welcome.

What's New ​

Version 3.5.8.1 ​

New Features ​

  • Split tunneling controls on the main window: configure and monitor split tunneling directly from the main window, with a new status indicator and quick-access dropdown.

Improvements and Bug Fixes ​

  • Faster outbound throughput: WireGuard packets are now encrypted in place, avoiding redundant frame copying.
  • More efficient network buffer management for lower overhead under load.
  • Improved Allowed IPs validation for connection profiles.
  • Layout and scrolling refinements across the Networking page, profile details, and profile edit windows.
  • Restored the window maximize button and aligned title-bar button hover styling.
  • Extensive localization audit and wording fixes across many languages (Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and more).
  • Updated .NET runtime to 10.0.10 and signed bundled third-party libraries.
  • Improved connection stability by fixing lock-ordering and state-synchronization issues in the connection manager, including during resume/disconnect.
  • Dual-tunnel: automatically rebuilds the virtual network when a reconnect loop gets stuck after an egress change.
  • CLI: -fallback-config now detects a stalled or unreachable server (including idle and IP-change cases).
  • Fixed correct .NET Desktop Runtime version detection in the installer bundle.
  • Fixed a rare crash caused by a race condition during named-pipe teardown.
  • Fixed application culture/language handling and startup notification icon initialization.

Major Features and Improvements for version 3.x ​

1. New Architecture ​

  • A dedicated separated layer for better performance and security isolation.
  • A UI client for connection control, settings configuration, and profile management. The VPN connection operates independently of the UI: the UI client can be fully closed while the connection remains active.
  • Support for establishing the VPN connection during Windows startup, before user logon.
  • The Virtual Adapter Mode and TCP Socket Termination settings no longer require running the application with administrator privileges.

2. KillSwitch (Network Lock) ​

  • KillSwitch can be configured to block all traffic when the VPN connection is lost, preventing any data leaks.

3. Global Split Tunneling Settings ​

  • Split tunneling can now be configured once globally and applied to all profiles in the application.

4. New DPI Protection Options ​

  • Added advanced DPI protection using QUIC and DNS packet emulation.

  • AmneziaWG 2.0 support* for enhanced stealth connectivity and bypassing network restrictions.

  • DPI protection can be configured either globally or individually per profile.

    * Note: Standard AWG 1.5 I1–I5 parameters are not supported. WireSock uses its own method for configuring simulation settings in both the configuration file and the UI. See Documentation

5. New User Interface for Creating and Editing Profiles ​

  • Supports editing profiles in a text-based format.

6. New Command-Line Interface (CLI) ​

  • Introduced a new command-line interface supporting core commands: connect, disconnect, import, export, and delete profile.
  • The CLI enables full operation of the application without the UI.

7. New Language Support ​

  • Arabic
  • Portuguese
  • Korean
  • Vietnamese
  • Bangla (Bangladesh)
  • Bangla (India)
  • Hindi
  • Indonesian
  • Urdu
  • Amharic
  • Afaan Oromo
