Features

• WireGuard VPN Support - Implements secure network tunnels using the WireGuard protocol with support for custom DNS and split tunneling.
• Encrypted Tunneling - Establishes secure encrypted tunnels to remote servers to mask the user's IP address.
• VPN - Provides the primary mechanism for establishing and managing secure connections to remote VPN servers.
• Encrypted Tunneling - Integrates with the system network stack to route encrypted traffic at the kernel level for high performance.
• Multi-Hop Routing - Routes network traffic through multiple sequential servers to increase privacy and obfuscate the path.
• VPN Kill Switches - Implements a strict firewall kill switch that drops all non-VPN traffic during connection failures.
• VPN Daemons - Implements a privileged background process to manage encrypted network tunnels and system firewall rules.
• Anonymous Authentication - Allows users to establish service connections without providing personal identifying information.
• Network Kill Switches - Implements a strict-firewall kill switch to block all outbound traffic when the secure tunnel fails.
• Privacy-Focused VPN Managers - Manages anonymous accounts and secure network connections without storing personal identifying information.
• Privacy and Anonymity Tools - Supports anonymous account creation and multi-hop routing to mask digital footprints and protect user identity.
• VPN Clients - Provides a cross-platform client for managing the lifecycle of WireGuard VPN connection profiles.
• VPN User Accounts - Manages VPN-specific account numbering, user logins, and service time via voucher redemptions.
• Command Line Interfaces - Provides a command-line interface for programmatic administration of network tunnels and settings.
• Censorship Circumvention Tools - Provides tools to bypass regional network restrictions and access blocked content using bridges and obfuscation.
• VPN Server Selection - Allows users to optimize their connection by selecting specific countries or hosting providers.
• DNS Configuration - Enables customization of DNS servers and activation of content blockers to filter domains.
• DNS Leak Protection - Encrypts DNS queries via DoH or TLS and forces them through the tunnel to prevent identity leaks.
• SOCKS5 - Implements a SOCKS5 client to route internet traffic through remote proxies to reduce CAPTCHAs.
• SOCKS5 Proxies - Routes application-level traffic through a local SOCKS5 proxy to mask user identity.
• Split Tunneling - Provides selective routing to exclude specific IP addresses or applications from the encrypted tunnel.
• Multi-Hop Routing - Routes internet traffic through multiple sequential servers to obfuscate the traffic path and increase privacy.
• Censorship Circumvention Tools - Bypasses restrictive firewalls and access blocks using bridges and specialized protocols.
• DNS Security - Encrypts DNS lookups via DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS to prevent browsing history monitoring.
• Quantum-Resistant Protocols - Creates encrypted tunnels using quantum-resistant protocols to secure traffic against future decryption.
• Network Access Control - Controls whether the device can communicate with other hardware on the local area network.
• Network Traffic Obfuscators - Uses Shadowsocks, TCP, and QUIC to mask VPN traffic and bypass deep packet inspection.
• Traffic Obfuscation - Masks network traffic using Shadowsocks, TCP, and QUIC to bypass deep packet inspection.
• Connection Leak Auditing - Provides tools to scan for information leaks during active connections to ensure browser privacy.
• VPN Command Line Administration - Provides a command-line interface for programmatic administration of network tunnels and settings.
• Proxy And VPN - Listed in the “Proxy And VPN” section of the Awesome Mac awesome list.
• Security And Privacy - Native VPN client focused on privacy and anonymity.
