To download the SAG app for macOS from the App Store, use the keyword Aliyun Network Client to search for the SAG app and download it.

Note

Before you install the SAG app on macOS, read the following usage notes:

  • If custom primary and secondary DNS servers are configured for your SAG app instance and the SAG app runs on macOS, you must clear the Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences option in System Preferences. Only then can the SAG app write the custom DNS settings to your macOS system.

  • For example, on macOS Big Sur 11.1, you can clear Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences on the System Preferences > Security & Privacy (General) > Advanced page.
