## Description

Nekoray is a cross-platform desktop application designed to manage secure network tunnels and proxy configurations. It functions as a graphical interface that routes system traffic through encrypted remote connections to facilitate private browsing and access to geo-restricted content.

The application integrates established networking cores to handle complex traffic routing and protocol implementation. By utilizing a local proxy server architecture, it intercepts system traffic and directs it through user-defined rules, allowing for granular control over how data is filtered and transmitted.

The software provides a unified environment for managing multiple proxy protocols across different desktop operating systems. It is distributed as a static binary to ensure consistent performance and behavior across various computing environments.
