macOS client: Apple silicon and Intel

The macOS build runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel machines with macOS 11 or later, which suits development, office work and streaming.

macOS client

What macOS use feels like

Connection flow, permissions and everyday habits are adapted to the macOS platform.

Native builds

Separate Apple silicon and Intel builds run smoothly with low overhead and no translation layer in between.

System proxy and terminal

Turning on system proxy covers browsers and common apps immediately, and the terminal can point at the same local port through environment variables.

Keychain and permissions

The tunnel uses the system network extension, so the permission prompt appears once and later connections are silent.

Installation

Installing on macOS

Three steps in order and you are connected; support can help if a step fails.

01

Download and install

Open the downloaded disk image and drag the client into your Applications folder to finish installation.

02

Allow the system extension

On first launch, allow the network extension under System Settings → Privacy & Security, then restart the client.

03

Sign in and connect

After signing in, pick a node and enable system proxy — Safari and Chrome take effect immediately.

Tips

Details macOS users should know

These settings directly affect connection stability and battery behaviour.

Platform questions

macOS questions

Permissions, background behaviour and compatibility on macOS.

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose 'Open anyway'. This is the standard macOS prompt for applications distributed outside the store.

The terminal does not read the system proxy by default. Set http_proxy and https_proxy in your shell configuration to point at the local port.

The client tries to reconnect on wake. If a long sleep invalidated the session, one manual reconnect is enough.
