## What it is
Anywhere is a native proxy client for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS built entirely in Swift with no external proxy-core bridges. It implements proxy protocols, a QUIC stack, and the packet tunnel natively, supporting VLESS XHTTP, post-quantum encryption, and XTLS-RPRX-Vision.

## Use cases
- route traffic through a proxy on iPhone or iPad
- bypass censorship with VLESS XHTTP over HTTP/3
- set up a native macOS proxy client without Electron or WebView
- use post-quantum encrypted proxy connections on Apple devices
- run a lightweight low-memory VPN-style tunnel on tvOS
- connect to Hysteria2 or NaiveProxy servers from iOS

## When to choose
- you need a native Apple-ecosystem proxy client with tight system integration
- you want VLESS, XTLS-Vision, or QUIC-based protocols without sing-box wrappers
- low memory footprint and small binary size matter

## When to avoid
- you need a proxy client on Linux, Windows, or Android
- you rely on protocols or config knobs not implemented in the codebase
- you prefer cross-platform clients with shared configuration
