A cross-platform proxy client that uses TLS 1.3 Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) to encrypt SNI information, exposing both a SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT local proxy. It ships with a GUI and CLI, supports smart traffic routing (global, bypass China, direct), and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, soft routers, and Docker.

Use cases

• bypass SNI-based censorship with ECH
• run a local socks5/http proxy client
• route only China-bound traffic outside the proxy
• set up a proxy on a soft router
• hide the domains I visit from my ISP

When to choose

• you need ECH-based SNI encryption with a simple GUI or CLI client
• you want split tunneling with China IP lists on Windows/macOS/Linux or a router
• you need both SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT from one local proxy

When to avoid

• you need a full VPN with WireGuard/OpenVPN-level tunneling
• your target servers or networks do not support ECH
• you need a proxy server rather than a client
