shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG
ShadowsocksX NG
ShadowsocksX-NG is a macOS application that functions as a Shadowsocks VPN client, SOCKS5 proxy manager, and PAC routing client. It is designed to bypass network restrictions by managing connections to Shadowsocks proxy servers through a graphical user interface.
The project provides mechanisms for importing server profiles via QR codes and URLs, and it supports the integration of third-party plugins to modify network traffic. It also includes a local HTTP proxy server that translates SOCKS5 traffic into HTTP proxy format for application compatibility.
The utility covers network traffic routing using PAC files and custom rule lists, alongside system-level proxy integration to toggle global network settings. It handles secure connection encryption using specific ciphers to protect data packets during transmission.
Features
