What’s new for everyone in the 2.6 generation

Most of the visible changes arrived with 2.6 (September 23, 2026) on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, and 2.6.1 builds on them. According to the 2.6 release notes:

• Overall performance more than 50% higher than v2.5, packet loss as low as 0.1% under ABC stress testing, and 24-hour sustained connection stability up 50% over v2.5 and 90% over v2.0.

• More nodes on every plan, and dedicated SingLink 2.0 protocol nodes for Pro, Max and Rich.

• Auto SingLink (automatic speed testing and best-node selection).

• Proxy chaining (import your own dedicated IP and chain it with SingLinkVPN) and domain proxy rules; under the current plans both are part of Plus and above.

• QR sign-in on desktop: scan the code with your Android phone.

• An anti-AI-analysis system that blocks AI profiling of your data and traffic.

• A mainland China proxy mode, so mainland-only apps work from outside mainland China.

• More accurate device management, and the audited security and no-logs design continues; see the 2.5 security audit and no-logs verification.

Android 2.6: per-app proxy

Android 2.6 added per-app allow and block lists, so you choose which apps use the proxy, and a social-media IP switch that works in Secure mode.

iOS 2.6.1: Telegram notification proxy

On iPhone, 2.6.1 adds the Telegram notification proxy, which delivers Telegram notification pushes through the VPN.

Protocols by plan

Which protocols you can use depends on your plan, not on the app version:

Sola is SingLink’s next-generation in-house VPN transport protocol, rebuilt from the SingLink 2.0 technology stack. Mini is a disguise layer that runs on top of Beta, Sola or SingLink 2.0 rather than a separate protocol. See also SingLink Beta and SingLink 2.0.
