ShadowsocksX-NG
A macOS GUI client for Shadowsocks proxy that runs ss-local as a background service with SIP003 plugin support.
What is ShadowsocksX-NG?
ShadowsocksX-NG is a macOS graphical client for the Shadowsocks proxy protocol that allows users to securely route their internet traffic through encrypted SOCKS5 proxies. It runs the ss-local proxy as a background Launch Agent service, providing persistent connectivity even when the app is closed. The client supports modern AEAD ciphers and SIP003 plugins for enhanced security and obfuscation.
macOS users who need reliable, secure proxy connections for privacy, bypassing network restrictions, or accessing geo-restricted content, particularly in regions with internet censorship.
It offers a clean, maintainable GUI separate from the proxy core, supports the latest Shadowsocks features and plugins, and runs the proxy as a persistent background service unlike many other clients that terminate when the app closes.
