ByeAbout byedpi.io: an independent ByeDPI review and guide site
byedpi.io exists because the information around ByeDPI is scattered across dense documentation, two GitHub repositories, and a swamp of download portals that blur three different projects into one. Someone had to lay it out plainly. That is this site's whole job.
The guides and the review on this site are written and maintained by its editor, Alex Carter, and updated whenever the ByeDPI projects or the blocking techniques they answer change.
What we do
We publish a structured, plain-language account of ByeDPI: what it is, how its desync methods work, how to install and tune it, an editorial review with our own clearly labelled scores, and guides organised by the problem a reader is trying to solve. We also maintain the boring but load-bearing parts of a trustworthy site: a privacy policy that says what a static site can honestly say, terms, a cookie policy, and a disclaimer that states our independence in the first paragraph, not the last.
How content is researched
Every factual claim about the software is checked against primary sources before publication: the core repository at github.com/hufrea/byedpi (its README, options documentation and releases) and the Android project at github.com/dovecoteescapee/ByeDPIAndroid (its README, FAQ and releases). Where documentation and behaviour could differ between operating systems — Windows retransmission is the recurring example — we say which platform a claim belongs to. We do not publish download counts, ratings, or version claims we cannot trace to those sources, and we do not present other people's testimonials as our evidence. Our review scores are editorial judgements, labelled as such on the review page, with the reasoning shown.
Independence
byedpi.io is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by hufrea, dovecoteescapee, or any other developer mentioned here. We do not distribute the software: every download button on this site links out to the official GitHub releases, because the safest copy of a security-adjacent tool is the one its developer published. If that ever changes, this page changes with it.
Corrections
We would rather be corrected than be wrong. Factual errors reported through the contact routes are checked against the primary sources above; if the report is right, the page is fixed and, for significant changes, the correction is noted on the page. Pages carry a last-updated date, and guides are re-checked when the upstream projects publish significant releases.
Who this site is for
People on networks where lawful sites and services are blocked or throttled by packet inspection, and who want to understand the tool they are trusting before they install it. If that is you, start with what DPI is, then the download page. If you maintain one of the projects covered here and believe we have misrepresented it, the corrections route above is open to you first of all.
