Development and Release (v.0.22.0)

Over the past month, the team has been working mainly on two major features:

Simple Mode UI (for the Client)

Proxy (V2Ray)

You can find new releases here: https://github.com/Privatix/privatix/releases/tag/0.22.0

Simple Mode

Simple Mode is aimed at improving the user onboarding experience and hiding the complexity of the software under the hood.

Simple Mode looks like a typical “VPN client”, where you just need to follow the wizard and click the “connect” button to open the VPN connection. Alongside Simple Mode there’s also an advanced version of the UI, which you can switch to at any time.

The current simplified UI isn’t the final version for the dVPN client, but a necessary feature of Core Network Software. We know this isn’t the end of the road — it’s the beginning. Currently, the growth points are pretty obvious. And we’ll be working on them in the future.

Proxy

Proxy is the next step in growing Privatix Network Core as a network that provides different products. Along with OpenVPN, we now have Proxy (V2Ray).

The implementation of dapp-proxy: https://github.com/Privatix/dapp-proxy is proof of a “service-plugin” concept as well: https://github.com/Privatix/privatix/blob/master/doc/service_plug-in.md

In the 0.22.0 release, you will find a fully functional decentralized proxy that you can run under macOS (both Agent and Client applications). We are currently in the final stages of implementing it on Ubuntu and Windows.

As a proxy itself, we use v2ray-proxy — one of the most powerful modern protocols.

Improvements

We migrated our CI server to Travis-ci https://travis-ci.org/Privatix to increase build process transparency. We fixed a bunch of bugs https://github.com/Privatix/privatix/milestone/4?closed=1 We did some important research in preparation for further development.

Next steps

The focus next month will be on:
