Rocket Proxy 1.4 for macOS
Free, native macOS client. Signed with a Developer ID, notarized and stapled by
Apple — no App Store account needed, and it installs offline.
Requires macOS 13 or later. Apple silicon.
Install
- Open the DMG and drag Rocket Proxy onto the Applications shortcut in the
same window. Drag it in Finder — don't copy it from a terminal and don't run
it from the disk image, or macOS will launch it from a temporary read-only
copy and the network extension won't be able to install. - Launch it from Applications. The first launch shows the usual "downloaded
from the Internet" prompt — click Open. - macOS will ask you to allow a system extension — approve it in
System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Network Extensions. - Approve the VPN configuration prompt.
The system extension is what does the work: traffic is handled by our own engine
running as a NetworkExtension provider rather than being shuttled through a
userspace helper.
Protocols
All 36 supported configurations were validated end-to-end on this exact build by
driving a real Chrome window against three live sites (video, a DNS leak check,
and news) and confirming egress identity and DNS resolution on each — not
synthetic probes.
VMess, VLESS, Trojan, Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, Snell, Hysteria2, TUIC,
WireGuard, AmneziaWG, OpenConnect, SOCKS5 and HTTP, across TCP, TLS, WebSocket,
HTTP/2, gRPC, HTTPUpgrade, mKCP, QUIC and XHTTP transports, plus REALITY,
ShadowTLS v3, Cloak, kcptun and gost.

Free, and not crippled
This edition is fully functional: every one of the 36 protocol configurations
above, no account, no registration, no time limit, no ads, and no telemetry.
It is the same engine that ships in the paid apps.
