Developer unveils Nextlink Android client with proxy chain support
The developer of the Nyagram Java library has released the first public beta version of Nextlink, a VPN client for Android with support for multiple network engines and flexible connection configurations.
The key feature of Nextlink is the ability to create proxy chains directly within the app's interface. Users can combine multiple servers, change their order, and mix protocols, including XHTTP and Hysteria2. For example, a connection can be routed through servers in Germany and the Netherlands.
The client supports Xray, sing-box, and AmneziaWG, configuration and subscription imports, per-app routing, DNS and IPv6 configuration, as well as connection statistics and logs. Additional features include a custom theme editor with import and export options for designs.
The developer has also added a graceful switch mechanism: when changing servers, the app attempts to maintain the existing connection until a new one is established. This reduces the risk of a complete VPN disconnection during an unsuccessful switch.
Nextlink is available in two editions: Original, which requires separate downloads for network components, and Shadow, which includes built-in components. The APK sizes are approximately 21 MB and 67 MB, respectively. Currently, builds are available for devices running Android ARM64.
The project is open-source under the MIT license. The app does not provide its own VPN servers or sell subscriptions—user configurations or compatible services are required for operation.
The first public beta of Nextlink is available on GitHub. The developer notes that the app is still in the testing phase and invites users to report bugs and suggest improvements.
