Leave a Review SSH Tunnel
  • Thank Goodness for this App

    Just what I needed to get the job done. Get it now before Apple decides it is too useful! [Edit] this app saved me a drive into the office today, yet again it has proven its worth.
  • No SOCKS5 Support

    I must be missing something? I don’t see any SOCKS5 support. It only attempts to make an SSH connection for the tunnel instead of using a SOCKS5 endpoint.
  • A great app is now even better!

    When I got this app a while back, it was good, but I was not able to enter an arbitrary url after connecting. The workaround was to open the browser of choice and then launch the app on top / to the side (this is still good for testing different mobile browsers).

    Now I can enter the URL I need to the built-in browser and use it full screen.

    The only possible improvement would be for Apple to allow this to run in the background without disconnecting.

  • Only real usable tunneling app for iOS

    I’ve tried others, but with iOS 14 blocking background tasks, they’re unusable. This app would be much better if one could use Safari for the tunnel without needing to run both in split view, but the developer’s addition of a built-in browser makes this only a minor grievance and is a good workaround for Apple’s restrictions.

    Only requests: allow for multiple simultaneous tunnels at once and an option to have tabs in the built-in browser.

  • Amazing tunnelling app

    I am happy to see that took in AppStore.
    Very useful.
    The only negative moment is the you cannot put it in Shadow/background mode and the reason for that is not clearly explained by DEVs. Was it an Apple constraint? Why?

    Hey, Yes, Apple does not allow a background execution for networking purposes. Thanks, Yury
  • Help

  • Does exactly what I was expecting

    Does the job very well if you know what you are doing and what you are looking for.
  • Works great

    Top line is: This app lets you ssh to a server that you control and have your iOS device publish a SOCKS5 proxy. You can then use the proxy from the device, or any other device connected to the same hotspot or WiFi network.

    Minor niggles:
    - It lacks some UI polish
    - The proxy PAC should have smarter defaults, currently you must edit it manually
    - it can’t run in the background, but this is an iOS limitation, so not the app’s fault

    Hi Tobin! Thank you for the great feedback! / Yury
  • Non functional

    The app can’t keep connections open in the background, so you can’t tunnel your applications. It has a built in browser, but no way to type URL’s so you can’t tunnel to anything you can’t search for on a search engine. You can’t change the browser settings. Virtually useless.
  • Great App until IOS 13

    I paid for this application and it worked well for a few months but now it is broken and cannot maintain the connection while in the background. I suggest suspending the sale of this application until you can work with Apple on a real fix.

    Hello, It’s just not possible to maintain a background activity for such kind of apps. But you have the options: - Use the app with Split View on iPad - Use an in-app browser (click globe button on the active connection page) to keep the app running in the foreground on iPhone (available since 2.0.1) - You can use multiple iOS devices, setup Port Forwarding proxy on one and use it on another / Thanks, Yury
