## Description

Shadowsocks-qt5 is a cross-platform graphical interface for configuring and managing Shadowsocks proxy connections. It functions as a SOCKS5 proxy manager used to route network traffic through remote encrypted proxy servers.

The project includes a proxy latency tester to measure round-trip times to remote servers and a network traffic monitor that tracks the volume of data sent and received through active connections.

The software provides mechanisms for proxy profile management, allowing users to store and switch between different server configurations. It also includes a proxy connection interface to operate these settings across different operating systems.
