About

Furious supports experimental TUN Mode on Windows and macOS since version 0.2.5. Furious abstracts and renames it to the better known name "VPN Mode" in its options.

However, if Furious detects that it's not having enough privilege to support VPN mode running, the corresponding options will be set to disabled.

How to use

To use VPN mode option:

  • On Windows:
    • Download wintun.dll from here and put it in C:\Windows\System32\.
    • Launch Furious with Adminstrator privilege.
  • On macOS: No other dependency required. Launch Furious via sudo Furious.

Choose Routing Option

Notice that if in VPN mode, current routing option should not contain direct rules, otherwise a connection loop would occur:

traffic -> TUN -> Core -> direct rules -> TUN -> Core -> direct rules -> ...

You can use:

  • Built-in Global routing option, meaning it does not have direct rules and will proxy all traffic.
  • Built-in Route My Traffic Through Tor option, if you want to proxy all your traffic through Tor. See disclaimer.

Verify

To verify that VPN mode is working properly, try initiating direct connection from your apps/games.

Here are some basic examples using curl:

Example A

curl icanhazip.com

Verify that you get your server ip as response.

Example B

curl CENSORED_WEBSITE

Verify that Furious helps you defeat censorship.
