VRouter is a desktop application that runs a lightweight OpenWRT virtual machine via VirtualBox to provide transparent TCP/UDP proxying on macOS and Windows by redirecting the system default gateway. It is built with Electron and uses iptables inside the VM to process packets.

Use cases

  • set up a transparent proxy on macOS without configuring each app
  • proxy command-line tools that ignore http_proxy settings
  • proxy apps that don't support proxy configuration like the macOS Mail app
  • get UDP traffic through a Shadowsocks proxy on the desktop
  • run a transparent proxy without flashing a router
  • switch system gateway to a proxy VM with one click

When to choose

  • you need transparent TCP/UDP proxying on macOS where TUN/TAP options are limited
  • your router is too weak to run proxy software like kcptun
  • you want per-app proxy setup handled automatically without configuring each client

When to avoid

  • the project is discontinued and no longer maintained
  • you need to proxy other devices on your LAN - it only serves the host machine
  • you don't want to depend on VirtualBox
  • you're on Windows and rely on Edge or UWP apps, which break when the default route changes
