## FAQ
### How to get updates?
Use [Obtainium](#or-use-obtainium).
### Is this a VPN?
No. The application uses the VPN mode on Android to redirect traffic, but does not send anything to a remote server. It does not encrypt traffic and does not hide your IP address.
### What data does the application collect?
None. The application does not send any data to a remote server. All traffic is processed on the device.
### Are there any for other platforms?
For Windows, there is [GoodByeDPI](https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI), and for Linux and macOS [zapret](https://github.com/bol-van/zapret). Also, you can use the original [ByeDPI](https://github.com/hufrea/byedpi) to run a similar proxy on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
