Pingless

Free, open-source ExitLag alternative for Windows: a game VPN / ping optimizer that routes only the games you pick through your own VPN subscriptions (VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, WireGuard, Amnezia) or your own multipath relays. Lower ping, less jitter and packet loss, no system-wide VPN.

Open-source game traffic optimizer for Windows, a free alternative to paid "game VPNs". Pingless captures the traffic of the programs you choose (games, a browser, a terminal, anything) and sends it through your VPN subscriptions or your own relay servers. No TUN adapter, no system-wide VPN: everything else stays direct.

Features

Routing

• Per-process capture with WinDivert: "only these programs" or "everything except these"
• Process groups, each with its own server; auto-connect when a listed program starts
• Kill switch: block instead of leaking when no server answers
• Bypasses the TUN of other VPN clients (Happ, v2rayN...), so traffic never goes through two VPNs
• High CPU priority for the selected programs while optimization is on (optional)

Servers

• Subscriptions from Happ, Incy, Marzban, Remnawave; links vless:// vmess:// trojan:// ss:// hysteria2:// wireguard://, WireGuard .conf, Amnezia vpn:// keys (Xray and WireGuard)
• Import from clipboard, from a file or by pingless://import?url=... links
• Real exit country of every server, checked through the server itself (not by its name); one click switches a whole country off; filters by word; auto/balancer servers can be turned off
• UDP ping, jitter and loss through every server, the way game packets go; per-server speed test
• Connection tuning: uTLS fingerprint, TLS fragmentation (DPI bypass), mux, DNS-over-HTTPS
• Own relays: encrypted tunnel (ChaCha20-Poly1305) to an exit node, optionally through bridges; multipath sends every packet over the best N routes and the first copy wins. One-click install of a relay on your Linux VPS over SSH

App

• Native-feeling window (no browser menus), tray menu, global hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+O)
• Live charts; "without Pingless → with Pingless" ping to the very game servers you play on
• Built-in terminal (local shells and SSH) on xterm.js
• English and Russian; auto-update from GitHub Releases; settings backup

Install

Formerly called OpenLag. Installing Pingless replaces an OpenLag install and keeps its settings.

Download Pingless-Setup-<version>.exe from Releases and run it. It installs Pingless with WinDivert, xray-core and (if missing) WebView2. Pingless needs administrator rights to capture traffic. Some antivirus products flag WinDivert as a "hack tool" because it can intercept traffic.

Start Pingless before the game: UDP sockets that were already open stay direct, because moving a live match to another IP usually disconnects it.

Own relays

In the app: add your server on the Terminal tab, then Settings → Own relay servers → Install relay. By hand:

# On a VPS close to the game servers (the "exit"):
OPENLAG_PSK='long random secret' openlag-relay exit --listen 0.0.0.0:7000
# Optional bridges on other providers, each forwarding to the exit:
openlag-relay bridge --listen 0.0.0.0:7001 --exit <exit-ip>:7000

Bridges never decrypt traffic. The exit refuses private and loopback destinations unless started with --allow-private. How it works: docs/design.md (in Russian).

Building

Rust (stable) with the MSVC toolchain.

cargo build --release
cargo test --workspace

Installer, with the app, WinDivert, xray-core, static Linux relays and the WebView2 bootstrapper inside (vendor\xray\xray.exe and vendor\WinDivert-2.2.2-A must exist; the Linux relays need rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl aarch64-unknown-linux-musl):

По-русски

Pingless — бесплатный open-source оптимизатор игрового трафика для Windows, альтернатива платным «игровым VPN». Пускает выбранные программы через ваши VPN-подписки (Happ, Incy, Amnezia, WireGuard...) или через свои relay-серверы, без TUN и без VPN на весь компьютер.

• Перехват по процессам, группы со своим сервером, автоподключение при запуске игры, kill switch
• Реальная страна выхода каждого сервера, отключение стран одним щелчком, фильтры
• Пинг, джиттер и потери через каждый сервер; тест скорости; «без Pingless → с Pingless»
• Отпечаток TLS, фрагментация против DPI, mux, DoH
• Свои relay: multipath по нескольким маршрутам, установка на VPS в один клик по SSH
• Встроенный терминал, трей, горячая клавиша, автообновление, русский и английский
