What's changed

  • Show every active connection on the map, and make the window's switches Liquid Glass
    • Each country with open connections that move data gets an arc that stays, labelled with its flag and how many connections go there
    • Connections are placed by their real address when known (TUN mode), using the core's own country data, and never by asking an online service
    • The tab and filter switches are Liquid Glass, with the chosen side flowing to the next
  • Place map arcs from the Mac's own country table instead of a geocoding service
  • Move the map into the Connections window and show real traffic on it
    • The globe is now a Map tab in the Connections window, next to the connection list
    • The map lists the latest real connections with their apps, and the apps that use the most data
    • Sites under a country's domain arc from the server to that country
    • The Connections window has glass tab and filter switches, and the list and log sit in rounded panels
  • Sort the Connections window by any column and hide DNS lookups
    • Click a column header to sort; the order is kept as connections update and across launches
    • DNS lookups made through TUN mode no longer fill the list
    • Tidier rows: full rule badges, a network icon and a dash for connections without an app
  • Show the app behind each connection in TUN mode, and fix a crash in the Connections window
    • In TUN mode, connections are matched to the app that opened them, with its icon and traffic
    • The Connections window no longer crashes when connections arrive
    • Log lines now name the app as soon as it is known
  • Explain administrator access before asking, and never ask at launch
    • TUN mode and the system proxy start off each time V2Mac opens, so launching never asks for a password
    • Before macOS asks, an alert explains what the helper changes, that nothing is saved or sent, and links to the source on GitHub
  • Add a Connections window that shows each app's connections live
    • See the app, target, time open, the rule that routed it, and bytes sent and received for every connection
    • A log below lists each connection as it opens and closes, with its traffic and how long it lasted
    • Filter by open connections, search apps and targets, and clear closed ones
    • Open it from the new glass button next to the Rule Editor at the bottom of the sidebar
  • Line up the group arrows in the Rule Editor's simple mode
    • The arrow sits centred in its own column, so every row's icon lines up, and turns when a group opens
    • A group's members appear indented below it
  • Jump to a rule from the Rule Editor's simple mode
    • Clicking a row's rule badge opens Advanced, scrolls to that rule and makes it glow for a moment
  • Add Block to the Rule Editor's simple mode
    • Each row's switch now offers Proxy, Direct and Block, with Block in red
    • Filter by Block, and block several selected rows at once
  • Polish the Rule Editor's simple mode: sections, app and site icons, and rule badges
    • Rows are split into New, Apps and Sites, with search in the toolbar
    • Apps show their real icons, also for entries like Books.app and bundle ids; system services get a gear
    • Sites show the icon of a matching installed app, or the Apple logo for Apple domains
    • Each row shows the rule it belongs to; click the badge to edit it in Advanced
    • Names appear without pattern marks, with a short line underneath for groups and subdomains
  • Simplify the Rule Editor's simple mode into one list with a Proxy | Direct switch per row
    • New connections are marked and listed first; filter by All, New, Proxy or Direct, or search
    • Groups open to show their members, each with its own switch
    • Select several rows to send them to Proxy or Direct together
    • Connection lines stay out of the log window unless Log connections is on
  • Add a Rule Editor with a simple drag-and-drop mode and rule profiles
    • Simple mode lists the apps and sites that connect, grouped by name, next to Proxy and Direct columns
    • Drag an app, a site or a whole group (as name) into Proxy or Direct, or use the move buttons
    • The Proxy column shows the flag and country of the connected server
    • Advanced mode is the ordered rule list
    • Switch between named rule profiles from the editor's toolbar
    • Open it from the new glass button at the bottom of the sidebar or from Settings → Routing
  • Turn custom rules into one ordered list with app rules and Proxifier import
    • Rules are checked top to bottom and the first match wins; each has a name, an on/off switch, apps and hosts
    • Your Block, Proxy and Direct lists move into the new list in the order they were applied
    • Match apps by name, Name.app, bundle id, word or full path (system proxy mode)
    • Hosts accept Proxifier's word keywords and IP ranges like 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.9
    • Import a Proxifier profile (.ppx) from Settings → Routing
    • New Block QUIC (UDP 443) setting, so browsers' host names reach the rules
    • localhost, *.local and other local names always go direct
    • The Rule Builder adds its picks as one new rule
