Build and Release

Local Build

TunnelX currently targets 64-bit Windows only. The project file sets PlatformTarget to x64, and the bundled native components under AppTunnel/NativeLibs/x64 are required for the current build.

dotnet build AppTunnel.sln -c Release

Standalone Compressed EXE

dotnet publish AppTunnel\AppTunnel.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:EnableCompressionInSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true -p:DebugType=None -p:DebugSymbols=false -o publish\TunnelX-standalone-compressed-exe

Rename the final executable with the app version:

TunnelX-v1.2.21-standalone-compressed.exe

32-bit Windows

32-bit Windows builds are not supported at this time. Supporting win-x86 would require a separate compatibility pass, x86-compatible native binaries for every bundled network component, and separate testing for WinDivert/Wintun, Xray/sing-box, packet interception, route management, and the standalone extraction path.

Before Publishing

• Run the leak test plan in docs/PUBLISHING_CHECKLIST.md.
• Confirm third-party license notices are current.
• Confirm the app version in AppTunnel/AppTunnel.csproj.
• Attach release artifacts only to GitHub Releases; do not commit generated publish/ or Releases/ output.
