AmneziaVPN
AmneziaVPN is an open-source VPN client that lets users set up and connect to their own VPN servers using protocols including AmneziaWG, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, and XRay Reality. It is designed for users who want to run a private VPN on their own infrastructure rather than rely on a third-party VPN service. The app encrypts traffic, masks connection protocols to evade detection, and allows exporting configuration files for use in alternative VPN clients. It is particularly popular in regions with internet restrictions.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAmneziaVPN ships native Apple Silicon support and can be installed on M-series Macs via Homebrew. If you are currently running an older Intel-only build, the easiest path forward is to reinstall using Homebrew: open Terminal and run "brew install --cask amneziavpn". If Homebrew is not yet installed on your Mac, first run "/bin/bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)\"" and then the install command above. The native build will provide noticeably better performance and battery life compared to the older Rosetta-based version. After installation, your VPN configuration and connection settings will carry over automatically.
