What is proxy-installer?

Proxy Installer is a Windows desktop application aimed at people who own a remote Linux server (VPS) and want to set up a proxy on it without typing commands. You connect it to your server over SSH, it checks what operating system and hardware the server is running, and then deploys one or more proxy protocols for you automatically. The supported protocols are Hysteria2, VLESS Reality, VMess, Trojan, and Shadowsocks, each suited to different network conditions and client app preferences. Once the proxy is deployed, the tool generates subscription links you can import into popular client apps on your phone or computer, including Shadowrocket, Clash Meta, V2rayNG, and sing-box. These are the apps that actually carry your traffic through the proxy, Proxy Installer's role is purely to set up the server side and hand you a ready-to-use link. The application also includes a speed-testing center that measures both the raw bandwidth of your server and the real-world speed after traffic passes through the deployed proxy, so you can see the overhead. There is an IP quality check that shows whether the server's IP address is flagged in any blocklists, which streaming services it can reach (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, ChatGPT, and others), and whether email services will accept mail from it. All SSH credentials and reports are stored locally on your Windows machine. The app does not require an account or send data to any central service. It was built with Wails (a framework that wraps Go backend logic with a React frontend into a native Windows installer) and is released under the MIT license. The README states clearly that it is not a VPN client itself but a management tool for setting up and testing proxy server nodes.
