Specola is a proxy application with separate Core and desktop UI processes. This beta provides a Qt Quick desktop interface for configuration management, proxy control, connection inspection, routing rules, and logs.

Proxy and traffic control

  • HTTP and SOCKS5 local proxy listeners.
  • Support for protocols including Shadowsocks, Trojan, VMess, VLESS, Hysteria2, and SSH.
  • Rule, Global, and Direct routing modes, with system proxy controls.
  • Configurable DNS, traffic sniffing, and rule-based routing.
  • TUN enhanced routing and Linux eBPF transparent proxy support, subject to platform capabilities, configuration, and permissions.

Desktop interface

  • Overview: Core status, live upload/download rates, and traffic statistics.
  • Connections: Filter and inspect connections, close selected connections, or close all active connections.
  • Proxies and rules: Browse proxy and rule lists and inspect their details.
  • Logs: Filter by severity, pause updates, inspect startup output, and open the log directory.
  • System tray: Open the interface, switch routing modes, and control system proxy and enhanced routing.

Configuration management

  • Import local TOML profiles, rename them, activate them, and reload configurations.
  • Core manages profile files and their lifecycle.
  • Importing a profile does not activate it. Select Use this Profile to start using it.
  • Removing an inactive profile moves its file into the .removed directory.

Interface and runtime behavior

  • Light and dark themes, optional restoration of the last page at startup, and configurable automatic refresh intervals.
  • Choose whether closing the window hides it or releases the interface while keeping the system tray available.
  • Release desktop builds can launch and manage a local Core, or connect to an existing Core.
  • Core and UI communicate over MessagePack-RPC, separating proxy operation from interface management.

Getting started and limitations

  • This is a beta prerelease.
  • Import a TOML profile and activate it manually after launching the application.
  • TUN / eBPF require the appropriate system permissions.
  • Release packages do not include GeoIP / GeoSite datasets by default. Supply these files separately when using rules that require them.
