## What it is
A macOS ShadowsocksR (SSR) proxy client, a fork of ShadowsocksX-NG-R, used to route traffic through ShadowsocksR servers to bypass censorship. The repository was archived and removed by its owner in October 2020 due to regulation, and is now read-only.

## Use cases
- run a shadowsocksr client on macos
- bypass the great firewall on a mac
- configure a pac-based proxy on macos
- connect to ssr servers from mac

## When to choose
- you specifically need a native macOS ShadowsocksR client and can build it yourself from the archived source

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained or supported proxy client
- you need a license-clear project (no license is provided)
- you want Shadowsocks (not R) or modern alternatives like ClashX
- you cannot compile from source since releases are removed

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: proxy, vpn, privacy, networking
- domain: privacy, censorship-circumvention, networking, operating-systems
- platform: -
- tags: shadowsocks, shadowsocksr, ssr, gfw, pac, censorship-circumvention, discontinued, swift, macos, desktop
