Measure first.
Route only on a win.
Smart Route measures your direct path and the relays near you, then routes through a relay only when it measures better, and writes you a receipt either way.
Every session leaves a receipt.
A win and a hold are written down the same way, so you can check every decision.
- Both paths timed the same way, to the same server
- The last 50 kept on your PC, across sessions
- Copy as text or save as an image
Measure. Compare. Route or hold.
In that order, every time a game you picked is running.

Times your direct path and the path through a nearby relay to the same game server, the same way.
Free on every planCompare
A relay has to be faster or steadier by more than noise to count as a win.
Direct is the defaultRoute or hold Ultra
On a win, only traffic to that game's servers goes through the relay. It goes direct again when the relay stops winning.
Re-checks every 90 sA relay, not a hook.
Smart Route moves your game's packets and leaves the game itself alone.
Only your game's servers
A standard WireGuard split tunnel routes only traffic to your game's server networks. Everything else your PC talks to, like websites, Discord and your downloads, stays on your normal connection.
No kernel driver of our own
No injection and no memory hooks. Game tuning in the Windows app sets an Android emulator's priority from outside its process; a per-game PC profile sets launch priority only for titles with no anti-cheat.
Installed when you need it
The first time you route a game, Smart Route installs the official WireGuard for Windows in one click, from WireGuard's own site, and checks WireGuard LLC's signature before it runs.
Keys stay on your PC
Your WireGuard key pair is made on your device. Only the public key is registered with the relay.
Every title is manual today: you choose when a relay engages.
Automatic engaging will be offered only for titles whose anti-cheat runs on the game's servers, once each is verified.
Each publisher decides what its anti-cheat allows. Game names are trademarks of their publishers; we're not affiliated. How we keep the optimizer out of your games →

Is measuring my route free?
Yes. Every plan measures your route and keeps the route receipts. Engaging a relay needs Ultra.
What happens after it engages?
It keeps checking. It reads the WireGuard handshake and the traffic flowing through the relay, and re-measures your route about every 90 seconds. It never switches routes mid-match. When the relay stops winning, or you close the game, it goes direct again and writes down why.
How does Smart Route work with anti-cheat?
Smart Route leaves the game alone: a standard WireGuard split tunnel carries only traffic to your game's servers, with no injection and no kernel driver of our own. A publisher can see relayed traffic, and each publisher decides what its anti-cheat allows, so every title is manual today and you choose when a relay engages.
Do I have to install WireGuard myself?
No. The first time you route a game, Smart Route installs the official WireGuard for Windows, signed by WireGuard LLC, in one click, from WireGuard's own site, and checks that signature before it runs. If you remove it later, the Smart Route screen offers the same one-click install the next time you route a game.
Where do I get Smart Route on my PC?
In BRUTAL Optimizer for Windows, downloaded from this site. The Microsoft Store version focuses on PC optimization: Boost and the tuning modules, the FPS overlay, and the update, disk, startup, privacy and file-recovery tools.
Does one Ultra plan cover my PC and my phone?
Yes. Ultra covers Smart Route on one PC and one Android phone, signed in to the same account. On Android, Ultra is bought in the app through Google Play.
Which games work with it?
Titles in our catalogue, from emulator and mobile games to PC games, each showing its anti-cheat class in the app before you route it. Whether it helps depends on your route, not the game: long cross-border paths are where a relay tends to help most, and a server that is already close leaves little to gain. Coverage grows server-side, without app updates.
