Product news and release notes

Tournament mode locks in low-jitter lines for esports

The headline feature of the quarter, aimed at turning "stable latency" from a slogan into a number you can watch.

• Tournament mode prefers dedicated nodes with jitter below 2 ms and reroutes up to 200 ms before a link degrades.
• Three new esports lines in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul cut latency by 18%–34% in mainstream competitive titles.
• Improved node benchmarking completes an assessment of every reachable node within 1.5 seconds on first launch.
• Fixed misplaced interface elements on 4K displays with high DPI scaling.
• Available on Windows and macOS now; mobile arrives in v6.5.

QuickQ Turbo upgraded to R3 for smoother mobile handover

• Rebuilt congestion control cuts video buffering by 41% on average on weak links and reduces dropped frames in real-time voice by about 27%.
• iOS and Android now hand over between Wi-Fi and cellular without dropping the session.
• Client memory use is down roughly 15%, and measured laptop battery life improved by around 6%.
• Fixed an issue where the macOS client occasionally failed to reconnect after waking from sleep.

Annual third-party security audit complete, no high-risk findings

An independent security firm spent three weeks penetration testing and reviewing our clients, servers and key management system.

• No high or critical findings were reported.
• Two medium-risk recommendations — covering log redaction and configuration validation — were fixed in v6.4.0.
• The report summary is in the security and compliance section of the docs; the full report is available to business customers.

Middle East and South America expansion complete; Dubai and São Paulo join the backbone

• Dubai scaled to 120 servers and connected to a new Middle East backbone line.
• São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro went live, cutting average access latency for South American users by 46%.
• Mumbai and Jakarta received hardware upgrades, raising peak bandwidth per node to 40 Gbps.
• Total global nodes grew from 2,940 to more than 3,200.

Android TV client released with one-click acceleration for the big screen

• A purpose-built large-screen interface with D-pad navigation and quick connect.
• Streaming-optimised buffering cuts 4K time-to-first-frame by an average of 1.2 seconds.
• Per-app split tunnelling, so only video apps use the accelerated path.

Split tunnelling reworked for faster rule configuration

• Rules can now be matched by process name and install path, with no manual hunting for executables.
• Rules can be imported and exported so teams can distribute a standard routing policy.
• Fixed a bug where split-tunnelling rules were lost after a client restart on some networks.
