About Shadowrocket VPN
Shadowrocket is a rule-based proxy client built for iOS, giving you full control over your network traffic. It captures HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP traffic from your apps and redirects it through secure proxy servers. Whether you're bypassing geo-restrictions, monitoring usage, or applying custom rules to block ads, Shadowrocket gives you the tools to take charge of your connection. With support for multiple protocols like Shadowsocks, V2Ray, and VMess, and features like QR code setup, payload compression, and usage tracking, it's more than just a proxy tool—it's a personalized gateway to secure, unrestricted access.

Help & FAQS
Is Shadowrocket a VPN or just a proxy tool?
- Shadowrocket is technically a rule-based proxy client, not a traditional VPN.
- It supports protocols like Shadowsocks, VMess, and more to reroute your traffic securely.
- It can function similarly to a VPN when configured with encrypted proxy servers.
Why can’t I find Shadowrocket on the App Store?
- Shadowrocket is only available in certain App Store regions like the US.
- You may need a US Apple ID to purchase or redeem it.
- Some third-party platforms sell pre-configured accounts or redemption codes if you're outside the supported regions.
Is Shadowrocket safe to use?
- Yes, as long as you're using trusted and secure proxy servers.
- The app itself doesn’t collect your data, but the proxy provider you use might—always verify their credibility.
- Avoid using public or unknown proxies for sensitive activities.
Can I use Shadowrocket on Android?
- While there are Android apps with similar names, they’re not officially from the same developers.
- Shadowrocket is primarily designed for iOS. Android users should consider alternatives like V2RayNG or Clash.
- Some unofficial versions exist but may pose security risks.
What protocols does Shadowrocket support?
- Shadowrocket supports multiple proxy protocols including Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, VMess, VLESS, HTTP, and HTTPS.
- This gives users flexibility to connect through various proxy services depending on their needs.
- You can switch between protocols or create different profiles for different use cases.
Why is my proxy not connecting?
- Double-check your server details—host, port, and credentials.
- Try switching proxy nodes or protocol types if your current one is down or blocked.
- Some networks or countries may block certain protocols; try using a different one or use TLS-enabled proxies.
Can I block ads using Shadowrocket?
- Yes, Shadowrocket allows you to set up custom rule sets to block ads at the DNS level.
- You can import public rule lists or create your own based on domain and user-agent filtering.
- This works system-wide, blocking ads across apps and browsers.
Does Shadowrocket slow down my internet?
- Speed depends on the proxy server’s location and quality, not the app itself.
- Encrypted protocols like Shadowsocks may cause slight overhead but are usually fast enough for browsing and streaming.
- Use nearby or low-latency nodes for better performance.
Is it legal to use Shadowrocket?
- The app itself is legal and available on the App Store.
- Using it to bypass content restrictions may be against terms of service or local laws, depending on your region.
- Always use proxy tools responsibly and within legal boundaries.
How can I get help or report issues?

- Proxy providers you use may also offer setup guides and troubleshooting help.
- Always keep the app updated and back up your config settings regularly.

Thanks for your great app. Please add support for Outline VPN’s Dynamic Access Keys so the keys can be dynamically updated as per the hosted key’s latest settings.

Reset the app and click on V2 or V3, but never click on V4 VPN. Recommended Hong Kong VPN V2 or V3 if at China. If it all says timeout, press the reload button.

Can anyone help me with setting up Shadowrocket? I bought it and downloaded in my iOS but now I have no clue what to do.

Use this provider. Despite they have GB limitation, but with monthly 200GB quota, I share this account with multiple family and we never manage to use all of them. And it cost about 6 US dollar a month.

New xyr user here. Love it already. Was the best possible option for my Apple TV. It works incredibly well. Yeah there’s a limit, but there’s no way I’m going to even come close to using it all.

They used Shadowrocket to access my Apple ID and make App Store Purchases with my connected PayPal account. Check where your Apple ID is logged into!

Your card has been compromised. Call the card helpline number at the back of the card, tell the bank that all the charges are unauthorized and you want to reverse them and get a new card.

Know that debit cards are inherently less secure than credit cards and you're less likely to get your money back if fraud does occur.
