## What is Aestate?

A lightweight proxy tool designed to minimize battery drain. It exclusively handles proxy traffic, leaving other network requests to the system. 

Key Features:
- Server Management: Customize servers and manage subscriptions. Currently supports AnyTLS, VMess, Trojan, and SS protocols.
- Network Activity: Monitor DNS and proxy traffic. Note that this feature may cause additional battery consumption.
- Network Configuration: Customize your DNS. Traffic is routed using IP-CIDR, a strategy chosen to reduce power usage.

Feature Details:
- Supports custom servers and subscription addresses, with one-click import functionality.
- Supports connectivity testing for server groups, including TCP handshake time and time to first response byte.
- Supports application usage status monitoring, with detailed data including instantaneous and maximum recorded values.
- Supports detailed display of TCP/UDP connection details and status.
- Supports detailed DNS record display.
- Supports a mechanism for automatically switching to an alternative DNS server when a DNS query is blocked.
- Supports custom DNS servers, as well as the option to use the system's DNS settings.
- Supports custom routing tables to control traffic flow, including a global mode.
- Supports UDP forwarding, including UDP in TCP.
- Supports Always-On functionality.
- Supports quick access via menu bar and network speed display.
