VPN on macOS: how to set it up
On a Mac the connection works through third-party clients. We do not have our own app yet — the configuration copies out of your account and goes into the client with one button.
Which apps will do
Karing, V2Box and Hiddify run on macOS and speak our protocols. Karing and V2Box install from the App Store; Hiddify installs the ordinary way from the project site. All three are free and none of them is ours.
Which protocol to pick
On a fixed connection Hysteria2 and VLESS Reality hold speed equally well — the choice is dictated by the network you are on, not by the device. Reality is the safer bet on networks where traffic is inspected; Hysteria2 on unstable Wi-Fi.
A laptop changing networks
A laptop changes network several times a day: home, a cafe, the office. Every change means bringing the tunnel up again, and Hysteria2 handles that more smoothly: it is built for loss and recovers faster than protocols running over TCP.
