- For
- Windows 10 or 11 users seeking PC maintenance and privacy tools
- Worth noticing
- The page says the installer is unsigned and its independent scan is pending, while publishing a SHA-256 fingerprint.
Field notes
The page lists a 2.88 MB installer, requires administrator access and the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime, and says the app works offline without telemetry or an account. Its VPN wizard is described as setup for a user-owned WireGuard server, not a VPN service. The page also says code signing is in progress and an independent scan is pending, so the published fingerprint is not a substitute for independent safety verification.
