MacPorts describes it as a Go program that supports HTTP, SOCKS, VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan, Hysteria, and other protocols, with built-in DNS server functionality including DoH and DoT support. ### Project history Its operational model comes from the Clash-family proxy configuration style. The documentation organizes the system around proxy ports, SOCKS and mixed listeners, TUN and redirect modes, proxy providers, proxy groups, rule providers, route rules, DNS behavior, and an external controller API. The general configuration page shows common runtime controls such as LAN access, authentication for HTTP/SOCKS/mixed proxies, rule/global/direct modes, IPv6, process matching, and a REST-style external controller on a local address. ### How it is used Package-manager adoption reflects its role as a proxy core rather than a desktop client: Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and winget package the executable, while separate dashboards and clients can drive it through configuration files and its controller API. In practice it is used as the engine under rule-based proxy setups on desktops, servers, and gateways, especially where users need protocol diversity, subscription/provider handling, DNS policy, and route selection in one daemon. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
