## What it is
Throne (formerly Nekoray) is a Qt-based cross-platform desktop GUI proxy client powered by the sing-box core, with additional Xray support. It supports a wide range of proxy protocols including VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, TUIC, WireGuard, and AmneziaWG, and manages subscriptions and outbound chaining.

## Use cases
- manage proxy connections with a gui on windows linux and macos
- import v2ray and clash subscription links
- connect via vless reality or hysteria2 to bypass censorship
- chain multiple proxy outbounds together
- run sing-box and xray cores from one desktop app
- configure amneziawg or wireguard tunnels
- replace nekoray or nekobox after it was archived

## When to choose
- you want a desktop GUI to manage sing-box/xray proxy connections across Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you need broad protocol support including VLESS, Hysteria2, TUIC, AnyTLS, and AmneziaWG
- you are migrating from the archived Nekoray project
- you need subscription management with share-link and deeplink support

## When to avoid
- you need a headless server-side proxy without a GUI
- you require a signed/notarized macOS application out of the box
- you only need a simple system-wide VPN rather than per-app proxy routing
- you need mobile (Android/iOS) support
