PROCESS-NAME Mac Only

PROCESS-NAME,Telegram,Proxy

The PROCESS-NAME rule expression is highly flexible and supports several matching modes:

1. Filename Mode

   If the expression does not start with /, it matches only the executable file name, regardless of its path.

   Wildcards * and ? are supported in this mode. For example: PROCESS-NAME,Google*

2. Full Path Mode

   If the expression starts with /, it matches the executable’s full absolute path.

   Wildcards are not supported in this mode. For example: PROCESS-NAME,/usr/bin/ssh

3. App Bundle Mode Mac 6.0.0+

   If the expression starts with / and also ends with /, the executable path is matched by prefix.

   This mode is particularly useful for application bundles that contain multiple executables. For example: PROCESS-NAME,/Applications/ChatGPT.app/
