Netrinos Mobile v1.3.4
Release Notes
Release Date: 2026-10-05 Version:
1.3.4 (Android and iOS)
Overview
Version 1.3.4 brings the Android and iOS apps into line with the
desktop client and includes everything since mobile 1.3.1. The headline
is gateway routes: a phone can now send chosen sites and subnets through
a gateway on your network, as the desktop client does. Connections also
recover faster when a phone changes networks, and the service buttons
open the right app for SSH, file transfer, Remote Desktop and
cameras.
Gateway routes
- Route via Gateways. Settings has a new page to send
a domain, an address or a subnet through a device on your network that
has Act as a Gateway turned on. It works like the desktop Gateways page:
add a route, pick the gateway, and switch it on or off. Routing all
traffic is not offered.
- Plans are respected. Pro plans pick a gateway per
route. Personal plans have one gateway for every route, and changing it
moves them all. The route limit of your plan applies on the phone.
- Fails closed. If a route’s gateway goes offline,
its traffic stops instead of leaving through the phone’s own network,
and the route shows a warning triangle. It resumes when the gateway is
back.
- IPv6 cannot slip past the gateway. On networks with
IPv6, a routed site’s IPv6 addresses are refused, so apps use IPv4
through the gateway at once.
- Routes change without dropping connections. Adding
or editing a route updates the tunnel in place.
Connection reliability
- Follows the phone’s network. When the phone moves
between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or between Wi-Fi networks, it reconnects
to the Netrinos service within a second or two.
- Sized for mobile networks. The tunnel uses
1280-byte packets, which pass through every carrier network whole.
- Fast recovery after an outage. When the network
comes back, the phone is retrying within seconds and resyncs as soon as
it reconnects.
- Restarted devices are reachable in seconds. When
another device restarts, the phone drops its old address at once and
reaches it at the new one.
- Handles a relay going down. If the relay device
stops answering, the phone falls back to the Netrinos hub and returns to
the relay when it is back.
- Easy on the battery. Devices that cannot be reached
directly are left quiet until a direct path is confirmed.
- Works around stale NAT mappings. When a router ages
out the phone’s mapping, the phone moves to a fresh port and
re-announces itself, with no restart.
- Verified connections. A device shows as reachable
once a check passes through the tunnel itself.
- One action per button. Port 22 shows two buttons,
Terminal and Files. SSH, SFTP and FTP ask for a username first and
remember it for that device.
- Cameras. The camera button signs in to the camera,
finds its streams and opens the one you pick in your video player, such
as VLC.
- Remote Desktop opens Microsoft’s Windows App, and
SMB opens the Files app on iPhone.
- When no app can open a link, the button says so and
offers the link to copy. Buttons whose app is missing are shown in
blue.
Status display
- One icon set across desktop, Android and iOS.
- Relayed devices show a relay arrow, green once the
device is confirmed reachable; offline devices show a slashed
cloud.
- This device’s cloud means the mesh is up: green
when at least one other device is reachable end to end.
Android
- Auto-connect after reboot. The VPN comes back on
its own after a restart, without opening the app, once the phone is
unlocked.
- IPv6 alongside the VPN. Apps reach the internet
over IPv6 while the VPN is on, which matters on IPv6-only carriers.
- Targets Android 16.
iOS
- Auto-connect after restart. The tunnel returns on
its own after the iPhone restarts, and the Auto-connect switch stays in
step with Connect On Demand in iOS Settings.
- Edit a route in place. Tap a route’s name to change
it.
Support and diagnostics
- Logs on request. The account’s portal can ask the
app to upload its recent log, so a problem can be looked at without you
sending files. Desktop has the same feature.
- Log timestamps are UTC with milliseconds, matching
desktop.
Compatibility
- Works with desktop and edge clients from v1.2.4 through v1.3.3.
- Gateway routes need a device with Act as a Gateway turned on and a
plan that includes routes.
- No configuration changes required.
