GearUP Booster alternative
The free GearUP Booster alternative, built only for Roblox.
GearUP Booster covers thousands of games on PC, phone and console. SwiftTunnel does one game on Windows, which is why it can pick a relay per match, show you live stats in game, and get Roblox loading in countries that block it.

2 things SwiftTunnel does that GearUP does not.
How it actually fixes lag
Your traffic does not travel in a straight line. It follows whatever path networks happened to agree on, and that path wanders. A relay near the game server replaces the wandering with a deliberate route.
Illustrative. Your actual numbers depend on where you are and which Roblox data centre you land in. The ping test measures both.
What doing one game well looks like
Route Assist picks per match
Roblox drops you in a different data centre every time you join. Route Assist notices and re-checks which of the 43 relays gives the shortest path to that specific server, then switches.
63 optimisations, not one boost button
Real Windows and Roblox tweaks grouped from beginner to expert, each one explained, each one reversible. You choose what gets applied instead of trusting a black box that claims to have cleaned your PC.
Overlay that shows the truth
FPS, relay ping, CPU, RAM, upload and download live on top of the game. When something feels wrong you can see whether it is your PC or your connection, in the moment, without alt tabbing.
Works where Roblox is blocked
In countries that block Roblox outright, SwiftTunnel can route login, matchmaking and game traffic through the relay so the game loads at all.
You can read the code
The desktop client is public on GitHub. Nothing about what it touches on your machine is a mystery.
On price
SwiftTunnel
Free
Daily allowance, no card, no trial timer. Every relay, every feature, including the optimiser and the overlay.
GearUP Booster
Paid
A free trial that renews into a paid membership unless you cancel it in time. Prices are shown inside their app. Check current pricing.
If you play a wide library, or play on a phone or a console, GearUP Booster covers that and we do not. If you play Roblox on a Windows PC, there is no reason to pay for a wider fit.
Questions people ask
Is SwiftTunnel really a free GearUP Booster alternative?
For Roblox on a Windows PC, yes. There is a free tier every single day with no card and no trial countdown. GearUP Booster starts with a free trial that renews into a paid membership unless you cancel it in time. If you only want to know whether a relay helps your connection, you can find that out here for nothing.
Is SwiftTunnel better than GearUP Booster for Roblox?
On a Windows PC it is the closer fit. GearUP Booster covers more than 3,000 games. Everything in SwiftTunnel is tuned for one: it knows which relay suits which Roblox data centre, it re-checks the route when you join a new game, and it can route login and matchmaking through the relay in countries where Roblox is blocked.
Does SwiftTunnel work on phones or consoles?
No. It is a Windows 10 and 11 app. If you play Roblox on a phone or a console, GearUP Booster covers those and SwiftTunnel does not.
Do I need to turn GearUP Booster off first?
Yes. Both tools change how game traffic is routed, so running them together gives unpredictable results. Turn one off before using the other.
Will it lower my ping?
It depends on how bad your current route is. Run the free ping test before installing anything. It measures every relay from your own connection in about fifteen seconds and shows you the numbers, so you never have to take our word for it.
Also worth reading: how we compare to ExitLag, how we compare to NoPing, or why Roblox lags in the first place.
Try it before you pay anyone
Free every day, no card, no countdown. If it does not beat your current ping, you have lost nothing.
