About Aether GUI
A one-click desktop GUI for Aether, a censorship-circumvention tunnel built for heavily restricted networks. Aether itself is a terminal tool: it discovers a working route out, establishes an encrypted tunnel, and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy. Aether-GUI wraps that terminal tool in a small, animated desktop app so you don't have to touch a command line to use it — press Connect, and everything else (identity provisioning, route discovery, prompt answering) happens automatically in the background.
