in plain english

NekoBox for PC is a graphical user interface (GUI) application for managing proxy configurations on Windows and Linux. A proxy is a server that routes your internet traffic through an intermediary, commonly used to bypass network restrictions or improve privacy. NekoBox provides a visual dashboard for setting up and switching between multiple proxy connections, rather than having to configure them manually through command-line tools or configuration files. The application is built using the Qt framework (a toolkit for building cross-platform desktop applications) and uses sing-box as its backend engine, which handles the actual network routing. It supports a wide range of proxy protocols including SOCKS, HTTP/HTTPS, Shadowsocks, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, TUIC, and Hysteria2. It can also import proxy configurations from subscription links in several common formats, including Shadowsocks, Clash, and v2rayN formats, letting you load a list of servers from a URL automatically. On Windows, it requires the Microsoft C++ Runtime library to be installed. On Linux, it is available through the AUR package manager for Arch-based distributions and via Scoop on Windows. The README notes that this project is no longer being maintained by the original author, and users should seek alternative projects.
