## iCloud sync

Automatically syncs settings across devices connected to the same Apple account.\
Disable this option if you want to use different configurations and settings on different devices.

## Dynamic switch

When enabled, the app periodically checks the latency (ping) of outbounds (proxy / servers) and connects to the one with the lowest latency.

The check runs every 30 seconds by default. You can manually change the check interval in the **Ping** section.

## Ping

Configure how the app measures outbound latency.

* Service: Choose a host to ping from the list or enter a custom one.
* Interval: Set the ping interval (default: 30 seconds).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:$primary;">Dynamic Switch uses these measurements to select the fastest outbound.</mark>
{% endhint %}

## Appearance

Choose between Light and Dark themes. You can also select a black or white app logo.

## Tunneling

We recommend using the **Default** mode. The configuration provider usually defines the correct tunneling settings.

You can manually configure tunneling rules for domain zones or predefined services using the modes below.

#### Modes:

* **Default** – uses tunneling settings defined in the configuration group. Recommended.


* **Off** – routing is disabled.
* **Excluded** – VPN is enabled for all traffic *<mark style="background-color:purple;">**except**</mark>* the selected services.

  Example: if only Instagram is selected, Instagram will use your local IP address.
* **Included** – VPN is *<mark style="background-color:purple;">**enabled**</mark>* *<mark style="background-color:purple;">**only**</mark>* for the selected services.

  All other traffic will use your local IP address.

Geosite lists are used for tunneling. See more details here: <https://github.com/v2fly/domain-list-community/tree/master/data>

For some services, GeoIP is also used (e.g., Facebook, Google, Netflix, X/Twitter).

## Logs

Displays application activity and connection events.

## Shortcut (macOS only)

Default shortcut to enable or disable VPN is – <mark style="background-color:purple;">Option (⌥) + /</mark>&#x20;

#### **You can set a custom shortcut.**&#x20;

**Requirements**

The shortcut must include at least one modifier key:

* Command (⌘)
* Option (⌥)
* Control (⌃)
* Shift (⇧)

Examples of valid combinations:

* Command + Option + \[key]
* Command + Shift + \[key]

**Restrictions**

The following keys cannot be used:

* Function keys (F1, F2, etc.)
* Esc
* Space
* Tab

To avoid conflicts, do not use common system shortcuts such as:

* Command + Q
* Command + W

If you want to restore the default shortcut, click **Reset**.
