New & Improved

  • Expanded custom routing rules: add GEOSITE category rules (such as openai, youtube, category-ai-!cn) and DST-PORT destination port rules directly in the rule editor.
  • Chained proxy nodes: all 12 manual node protocols now support an optional dialer-proxy field for multi-hop relay and residential landing proxy chains.
  • Enhanced iCloud end-to-end encrypted sync: custom routing rules and network bypass policies now sync across devices with AES-256-GCM encryption and smart deduplicating merge.

Fixes & Quality Assurance

  • Fake-IP poisoning protection: filters synthetic 198.18.0.0/15 addresses from system DNS resolution during TUN-to-Transparent Proxy transitions.
  • Full matrix & hardware validation: 0 failures across the 6-way VM acceptance matrix, and verified on an Apple Silicon Mac mini for idle reuse, 2 MiB uploads, and dual-NIC failover.
