CLUSTER CLIENT-DESKTOP-PROXY · 47 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-30
Desktop proxy management clients
Desktop proxy client applications that manage proxy subscriptions, route traffic through multiple protocols, and offer kill-switch and leak-protection features. Dated entries before the index are sparse: one in January 2024, one in July 2025, then monthly entries from March to June 2026. Zephyr leads traction with 711 stars, followed by ClashDesk (223) and Vxray (12).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
