Tun mode does not work for me.
If NekoBox does not work in tun mode, then issue might be with tun configurations. Try to open tun settings, set stack to gvisor or set different tun address (for example, 168.19.0.1/24)
I have computer with Windows 7, or Window 8, or Windows 8.1. Which version of NekoBox should I download?

Does NekoBox really need to be run in UAC mode on Windows?
No, that is not necessary. NekoBox restarts nekobox_core in UAC mode if TUN mode is selected and NekoBox is not already running with administrator privileges. NekoBox requests UAC confirmation to restart the core.
Is setting the SUID bit really needed on Linux?
No, it is not needed, but if SUID does not configured properly, the NekoBox will ask for administrator password to order to restart nekobox_core with administrator privilegies, if TUN mode is selected and NekoBox is not already running as root (or with special capabilities), NekoBox will ask for password for once, and will not configure SUID.
Why does my internet stop working after I force quit NekoBox?
If NekoBox is force-quit while System proxy is enabled, the process ends immediately and NekoBox cannot reset the proxy.
Solution:
If you force quit by accident, open NekoBox again, enable System proxy, then disable it- this will reset the settings.
Why NekoBox uses Noto emoji instead of Twitter emoji? What differences between them two?
Noto Emoji is part of the Noto font family developed by Google. It aims for a clean, simple, and consistent design across various platforms, emphasizing legibility. It is often used in Android systems and Google services. Noto Emoji is designed to support a wide range of characters and symbols, making it suitable for diverse languages and scripts. Also, Noto Emoji is open source, which allows developers to use and modify it freely in their applications.
Twitter Emoji, also known as Twemoji, has a more colorful and stylized design. It often features more expressive and characterful designs compared to Noto. These emojis are primarily used on Twitter and other platforms where Twitter’s branding is applied. They are designed for use in tweets, direct messages, and other Twitter communications. While Twemoji can be used elsewhere, it is specifically tailored for the Twitter platform, emphasizing a cohesive user experience within Twitter's ecosystem.
Noto emoji provides better system integration and is part of the larger Noto fonts project, which aims to support all emoji characters defined in Unicode. Generally, Noto emoji are smaller than Twitter emoji. NekoBox does use Noto emoji font because we prefer better system integration over specific stylized design.
