Not only is it much faster other VPNs that I used in the past, but compared to other clients (Forticlient and Tunnelblick), the overall experience feels much nicer, IMO.
Thank you so much for your work!
This appears to be a very typical response from an Apple user who doesn't understand the lengths and hoops developers have to jump through to work around Apple's many, many restrictions, bugs and limitations. In my day job, our Apple developers have spent years finding solutions to iOS restrictions around CallKit, Push Notifications and NSTodaysProblem, and those are just the things Apple has intentionally restricted…
What bothers me is that I’ve experienced an increasing number of maintainers of supposed cross platform projects simply not care about macOS anymore to the extent that they’re openly hostile towards macOS users. I know what you do is free and I have no entitlement to anything from you, but don't antagonize me when I add suggestions to open discussion and feature requests to your issue tracker to try and help participate in improving the way your project works on macOS. I’m probably willing to do some work but also need to get the lay of the land first.
I would challenge those maintainers to be honest. Yes, it’s your time, but if you’re not interested in spending it actually supporting macOS, don't market your project as a cross platform. Like it or not the macOS platform is changing and if you’re not along for the ride don’t grief everyone who is (either by choice or by requirement).
Just to be crystal clear: Json does not fall in this bucket, but this topic in general seems all too familiar lately.

Just went to donate for myself, and happened to spot Rachel’s name in the list of donors too, so that’s a nice little end to the story :)
(Not as nice as “apple either fixes their APIs or permits people to work around them”, but still...)

It's frustrating, but it's also great job security.
I don't get it. You cannot write a VPN app for MacOs and let people just download the executable from your website? Pretty sure I've never opened the app store on my laptop and still have a VPN installed.
Wireguard is using the newer and non-deprecated NetworkExtension framework which requires an entitlement that's only given to app-store apps.
Can you not release it as a .dmg, without going through the Apple Store? Love WireGuard btw
In case the author is reading this, I recently started using Wireguard in Mac OS with the Mac app and the experience has been great. Not only is it much faster other VPNs that I used in the past, but compared to other clients (Forticlient and Tunnelblick), the overall experience feels much nicer, IMO.

Do not skip the Mac app. It's pretty good.
