# Enhanced MacOS Support for zapret

## 🎯 Overview

This document describes the enhanced MacOS support for the zapret DPI circumvention tool. The project has been significantly improved to work seamlessly on both Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (ARM64) MacOS systems.

## ✨ Key Improvements

### 1. **Automatic Architecture Detection**
- Automatically detects Intel vs Apple Silicon
- Sets appropriate compilation targets
- No manual configuration required
- Supports MacOS versions 10.8+ (Mountain Lion to Sonoma)

### 2. **Enhanced Build System**
- New `make mac` target for current architecture
- New `make mac-universal` target for universal binaries
- New `make mac-auto` target for auto-detection
- New `make mac-info` target for build information
- Environment variable support (`MACOS_TARGET`, `MACOS_VERSION`)

### 3. **Improved Component Support**
- **tpws**: Full support for MacOS (recommended for DPI bypass)
- **ip2net**: Full support for MacOS
- **mdig**: Full support for MacOS
- **nfq**: Limited support (no NFQUEUE on MacOS, builds dvtws instead)

### 4. **New Installation Scripts**
- `install_macos.sh`: Dedicated MacOS installer
- `scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh`: Enhanced architecture management
- `scripts/test_macos_arch.sh`: Comprehensive system testing

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. **Clone and Navigate**
```bash
git clone <repository-url>
cd zapret
```

### 2. **Test Your System**
```bash
# Test architecture detection
./scripts/test_macos_arch.sh

# Check system readiness
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh check
```

### 3. **Build and Install**
```bash
# Option 1: Use the new MacOS installer (recommended)
./install_macos.sh full

# Option 2: Manual build and install
make mac
sudo ./install_macos.sh install
```

## 🛠️ Build Targets

### Single Architecture
```bash
# Build for current architecture (automatic detection)
make mac

# Build for specific architecture
MACOS_TARGET="arm64-apple-macos11.0" make mac
MACOS_TARGET="x86_64-apple-macos12.0" make mac
```

### Universal Binary
```bash
# Build universal binary (x86_64 + arm64)
make mac-universal
```

### Special Targets
```bash
# Auto-detect and build
make mac-auto

# Show build information
make mac-info

# Clean MacOS builds only
make mac-clean
```

## 🔧 Architecture Support

### Intel (x86_64)
- **Target**: `x86_64-apple-macos<version>`
- **Optimization**: Native Intel performance
- **Compatibility**: All Intel Macs

### Apple Silicon (ARM64)
- **Target**: `arm64-apple-macos<version>`
- **Optimization**: Native ARM64 performance
- **Compatibility**: M1, M2, M3, and future Apple Silicon

### Universal Binary
- **Target**: Both architectures in single binary
- **Size**: Larger than single-architecture builds
- **Compatibility**: Works on all supported Macs

## 📋 Requirements

### Minimum Requirements
- **OS**: macOS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later
- **Architecture**: Intel (x86_64) or Apple Silicon (ARM64)
- **RAM**: 4GB (8GB recommended)
- **Storage**: 2GB free space

### Build Tools
- **Xcode Command Line Tools** (automatically installed if missing)
- **make**: Build system
- **cc/clang**: C compiler
- **lipo**: Universal binary creation
- **strip**: Binary optimization

## 🧪 Testing

### System Verification
```bash
# Comprehensive system test
./scripts/test_macos_arch.sh

# Architecture detection
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh detect

# System information
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh info

# Build readiness check
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh check
```

### Build Testing
```bash
# Test single architecture build
make mac

# Test universal binary build
make mac-universal

# Test specific version build
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh version 12.0
```

## 📚 Usage Examples

### Basic Usage
```bash
# Start tpws service
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret start

# Check status
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret status

# Stop service
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret stop
```

### Advanced Usage
```bash
# Start only daemons (no firewall)
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret start-daemons

# Start only firewall
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret start-fw

# Reload firewall tables
sudo /opt/zapret/init.d/macos/zapret reload-fw-tables
```

### Manual tpws Usage
```bash
# Transparent proxy mode
sudo /opt/zapret/tpws --port=988 --bind-addr=127.0.0.1

# SOCKS proxy mode
/opt/zapret/tpws --socks --port=987 --bind-addr=127.0.0.1
```

## 🔒 Security Considerations

### System Integrity Protection (SIP)
- SIP may affect some operations
- Check status: `csrutil status`
- Disable if needed (not recommended for security)

### Firewall Configuration
- Uses PF (Packet Filter) on MacOS
- Automatically patches `/etc/pf.conf`
- Creates anchors in `/etc/pf.anchors`

### Permissions
- Binaries installed as root:wheel
- Service runs with appropriate permissions
- Configuration files properly secured

## 🆘 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### 1. **"Command not found: make"**
```bash
# Install Xcode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install
```

#### 2. **"Permission denied"**
```bash
# Make scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/*.sh
chmod +x install_macos.sh
```

#### 3. **"Architecture mismatch"**
```bash
# Clean and rebuild
make mac-clean
make mac
```

#### 4. **"Build failed"**
```bash
# Check system requirements
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh check

# Verify build tools
./scripts/macos_arch_detect.sh info
```

### Build Errors

#### Compiler Issues
```bash
# Check compiler
which cc
which clang

# Reinstall Xcode Command Line Tools
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install
```

#### Library Issues
```bash
# Check for required libraries
otool -L binaries/my/tpws

# Verify epoll-shim installation
ls -la tpws/epoll-shim/
```
