Getting started
Extract the whole ZIP into a new folder and open Howl.exe. No installation or
administrator rights are required for portable proxy mode. Add your Howl
subscription link from your account, or import a supported profile in the app.
Keep Howl running while you use the connection.

What is protected
Portable mode uses the Windows system proxy. Browsers and apps that respect
this proxy use the tunnel. Apps that ignore it connect directly and can expose
your real IP. This edition does not install a service or create a TUN adapter.
For VPN mode with the Howl service, use the standard installer:
https://gethowl.app/downloads/howl/win/Howl-Setup.exe

Closing Howl
Closing the window hides Howl in the notification area. To quit, choose Exit
from the Howl tray menu. On normal exit, Howl restores its proxy changes to the
previous settings. An abrupt process or system failure can prevent cleanup.

Privacy
Keep subscription links, profile files and raw logs private: they may contain
credentials or connection details. Third-party notices are included in
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt.
