What's changed

  • Use V2Mac in Persian, Chinese or Russian
    • Settings → General → Language: Persian, Simplified Chinese, Russian, English or the system's language
    • Persian lays the app out right to left
    • Notifications, error messages, Siri phrases and the Control Center switch are translated too
  • Connect and disconnect from Control Center and the menu bar with a V2Mac switch
    • Add the V2Mac switch from Control Center → Edit Controls; it shows the V2Mac glyph
    • Turning it on starts V2Mac when it is not running
    • New Shortcuts and Siri actions: Set System Proxy and Set Kill Switch
  • Back up and restore subscriptions, servers and settings as a .v2m file
    • Settings → General → Backup: Export Backup… and Restore Backup…
    • A restore adds what is missing and keeps what you have; open a .v2m file in Finder to restore it too
    • Passwords for the proxy and the administrator account stay out of the backup
  • Switch servers automatically when the delay is high or the download is slow
    • Settings → Connection → Switch conditions, both off by default
    • Delay: switch after two checks in a row answer slower than the limit you set
    • Speed: switch when the download stays under the speed you set for that many minutes while in use
  • Set the system proxy from V2Mac and add a kill switch
    • Turn on the system proxy in the menu bar, the connection bar or Settings → Proxy
    • A dot beside it shows whether the system proxy is V2Mac (green), something else (red) or not set (grey)
    • The kill switch (Settings → Connection) blocks all traffic outside the connection until you disconnect
    • The kill switch stays on through dropped connections and when V2Mac stops unexpectedly
    • Save your administrator password in Settings → General to stop the password prompt on each launch
    • The local proxy's username and password are optional and the password is kept in the keychain
