Platform Issues

WindowsCritical

Not Supported

We do not support Windows at this time. If your application requires a Windows binary for Lantern, please reach out and we'll see what we can do. Generally you'll be better off running Lantern in a container in this case though.

MacOSWarning

Unsigned Application

Presently, Lantern is an unsigned application. You'll have to explicitly enable it to run in Settings → Privacy & Security. Also make sure Lantern is not being run out of the "Downloads" folder. Create a new folder and copy the Lantern executable into it. If you'd like to avoid doing that, the Docker version is a good choice.

QUIC Buffer Warning

On startup, you'll likely see a warning about the QUIC buffer being too small. Lantern ought to work fine in most cases anyway — but if possible, you should apply the fix described at: https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/wiki/UDP-Buffer-Sizes
