## Signals and evidence

- BACK CATALOG

## TESIGN TAKE

It earns trust by drawing the line itself: it spreads connections, it does not make one connection faster.

## WHY IT MATTERS

A PC with several links usually uses one at a time. HypoMux picks an outbound adapter for each new connection (source-address binding plus IP_UNICAST_IF), so downloads that open many connections, such as Steam updates, IDM and game launchers, spread across Ethernet, Wi-Fi, hotspot and USB tethering. The README states up front that it balances independent connections and cannot split one TCP connection; 2.5.0 moved the desktop to Go + Wails v3 and official installers are SignPath-signed.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- Its least-privilege split, a standard-user UI and a separate Go Core service owning TUN, WFP, routing and DNS, is a reference for Windows networking tools. AGPL-3.0 means even network-served modifications must publish source.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Windows gamers with two or more links — spread Steam and launcher updates
- IDM and other multi-threaded downloader users — System Proxy mode, no virtual adapter
- Windows networking developers — Wintun, sing-box and WFP split routing as reference

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# 1. Download and run HypoMux_Setup_*.exe from GitHub Releases (publisher: SignPath Foundation)
# 2. Connect the PC to at least two working networks, such as Ethernet + Wi-Fi or broadband + USB/mobile tethering
# 3. Start HypoMux → refresh the Home page → select the adapters to include in the pool
# 4. Run Network Health and verify each link has a valid IPv4 address, gateway, DNS and working source binding
# 5. Choose System Proxy or Virtual NIC mode → enable the aggregation engine and start the download (restart Steam when prompted)
```

## CAVEATS

- Licence AGPL-3.0. Free (WeChat/Alipay donations).
- Windows 10/11 only. Cannot split one TCP connection and targets throughput, not latency (README advises direct rules for competitive games and voice chat). Virtual NIC mode needs Wintun/WFP and the Core service, and startup is blocked if another TUN/VPN owns the default route.
- Chinese-first project with an English README. Currently 2.6.0; maintained by a single student developer.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- Reconstructed from archive data, not a live discovery.
- A summary, not legal advice.
