Both Apple Silicon and Intel are supported — the matching kernel engine downloads automatically on first launch.

Gatekeeper may also flag the app; use Open Anyway in Privacy & Security or clear the quarantine flag.

The system helper is hardened to run core files only from the app bundle.

The repository ships binary releases only, with third-party credits listed separately.

Profiles are isolated with separate cookies, cache, and proxy endpoints, and Chrome extensions install once for all profiles.

A visual route map draws active connections as flights across the globe, with your departure point randomized across 190+ cities.

You authorize the network helper tool once and are never prompted for admin passwords again.
