making a better ssh socks proxy client on MacOS.

Why use BetterSSH?

BetterSSH is designed to be a functional application. Yet, it's also simple and easy to use.

If you connect to proxy servers via VPN, all your requets will be send through VPN connection.
If you use SSH socks to connect to proxy server. you can decide which requests should be send to remote proxy server and which don't.

Connecting to proxy server by ssh-socks with white list is way faster than by VPN. Because only needed requests will be send to remote server. Which:

Increase server's effcience.
Increase usage efficience of proxy bandwide.
Requests that are not on the white list will be transmited through normal tunnel.

Now you can stay connected to proxy all day long without keep turning VPN on and off.
You can even auto connect to proxy server every time when you logged in to your computer. It's like a part of your system.

Once you used ssh-socks to connect to proxy server. You will see the significant difference between VPN connection and SSH socks connection.

Connect to remote proxy server by socks.
Remember your last used configuration.
Save configuration as preset, so you don't have to type details every time you want to connect to other servers.
Import / Export presets, so you don't have to create your configurations between your computers repeatly.
Ping the servers of presets. Then you can find out if servers are reachable and which server is the fastest.
Automatically re-connect to server when connection disconnected.
Display connection status on status bar.
Connect / Disconnect to proxy server through the status bar menu.
Auto-connect to proxy server when application started.(optional)
