Skycoin Updates Skywire and Releases New VPN Version 0.4.0 of Skywire, the Skycoin Project’s decentralized networking protocol, is being released today with new features and bugfixes. The new update patches several known issues with version 0.3.0, includes a number of stability enhancements and performance improvements, and includes the long-awaited release of the Skywire VPN. The Skywire VPN leverages the unique network infrastructure of Skywire to provide a truly secure and anonymous VPN for users. This latest Skywire update includes reconnection logic for the Skywire VPN client and server, so that if a connection ever breaks down, it will reconnect automatically.The VPN now also features a killswitch that will prevent any traffic from leaking in the case of a broken connection, and will stop the connection from defaulting to a less-secure non-VPN source. The update also removes the separate hypervisor binary in Skywire, and includes various fixes and improvements to Skybian such as headless wifi setup and UI improvements. The update can be installed using the “update” feature introduced in Skywire 0.3.0.
