Your Cat.

ShortNerdCat loves computers, game worlds, and figuring out how things work. It doesn't build the big tunnels itself — that's The Tunnel Cat's job. Its job is simpler: find the entrance, pick the right route, and get you where you're going.

Connection modes

Automatic route

Checks the available tunnels and picks a working connection.

Wildcat

Helps you connect on networks where only a limited set of services is allowed.

Fast recovery

Tries to switch routes if the current connection stops working.

Automatic updates

Gets current network settings without manually entering addresses or configs.

Diagnostic logs

Lets you send the technical info needed to track down new blocks.

Partner services

What ShortNerdCat is good for

browsing websites
using messengers
reading the news
using partner apps
reaching services unavailable over a regular connection
working on unstable or restricted networks

Not just the regular internet

Specialized apps and services also run through The Tunnel Cat's infrastructure, including the Проект app, Лисиндер, the experimental Радио Лисиндер, and the Ratatosk messenger. ShortNerdCat stays the general-purpose client for everyday connectivity.
