Key features: - Save user-provided proxy hosts, ports, and credentials - HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 profiles - Switch the connection on and off from the app - Check proxy authentication and connection setup without sending traffic payloads - Route domains or IP ranges through a proxy profile or direct connection - macOS menu bar controls for status and connection actions - In-app language switching from settings Optional Pro one-time unlock adds multiple profiles and ordered proxy groups with pre-relay failover, expanded rule management, previewed import from files, text, or QR codes, password-free JSON/QR export, network-based On Demand, automatic snapshots and iCloud backup, and diagnostic log export.
