The ProtonVPN iOS and macOS project contains the official code for the unified VPN client used on Apple platforms, delivering secure, encrypted network connections to Proton’s global servers directly from iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Written primarily in Swift with Apple platform conventions, this client lets users authenticate with their Proton accounts, select server locations, and manage advanced privacy features like automatic reconnection and DNS leak protection, tailored for Apple’s...

...The project delivers a native Swift-based application that integrates with Apple’s Network Extension framework to provide secure VPN tunneling with strong performance and reliability. It offers a polished graphical interface that allows users to create, import, and manage WireGuard configurations while maintaining the protocol’s emphasis on simplicity and modern cryptography. The software is designed to work seamlessly within Apple’s ecosystem, supporting keychain storage, system networking controls, and platform security features. Because WireGuard is known for its lean architecture, the Apple client maintains efficient resource usage while delivering fast connection speeds. ...

...It implements the core WireGuard protocol — including key exchange, encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305), and authenticated transport — while omitting platform-specific tunneling stacks, allowing embedment in custom VPN client applications or userspace networking tools. The repository includes both a library for programmatic use and a command-line executable that can act as a userspace WireGuard interface on supported platforms like Linux and macOS. Because it’s written in Rust, BoringTun benefits from strong safety guarantees, memory safety without garbage collection, and cross-platform support, making it suitable for mobile, desktop, and server environments.
