## What is Gigoter?

Gigoter is a clean, fast client for connecting to Shadowsocks or WireGuard from iPhone and iPad.

BRING YOUR OWN SERVER
Gigoter does not require an account. Add a server you control by entering its details, importing an ss:// link, or pasting a standard wg-quick configuration. This workflow is free. An optional Gigoter Plus auto-renewable subscription provides managed, ready-to-use routes and keeps their credentials current.

ROUTING MODES
• Global mode sends all supported traffic through one selected route.
• Rule Based mode can send selected services through specific proxies while other traffic remains direct.
• Direct mode keeps the tunnel available without using a proxy route.
• Switch modes while connected without restarting the VPN session.

PROTOCOLS
• Shadowsocks with aes-128-gcm, aes-256-gcm, and chacha20-ietf-poly1305, including UDP relay.
• WireGuard with Noise handshakes, optional preshared keys, automatic rekeying, and keepalives.

GIGOTER PLUS
• Managed routes appear automatically after subscribing.
• Each managed server includes a 50 GB monthly traffic allowance.
• View current per-server usage and securely refreshed credentials in the app.
• Monthly and yearly plans provide the same features.

LOCATION, SERVER MAP, AND DIAGNOSTICS
• View an optional one-time physical location and the approximate location of the current network exit.
• Explore proxy routes on an interactive Apple MapKit globe with atlas and satellite views, with controls and server selection in one bottom sheet.
• Measure server latency and inspect recent network activity.
• Exit and relay IPs are sent to IP2Location.io for approximate city and region lookup. Direct destination cities stay on-device.

DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY
• No developer account, no sign-up, no advertising, and no analytics.
• Credentials for servers you add remain on your device.
• Gigoter does not retain browsing history, destination domains, destination IP addresses, or traffic contents on developer-operated services.
• Optional packet captures you explicitly start are saved on your device and are never uploaded automatically.

SIMPLE BY DEFAULT
• One tap to connect or disconnect.
• Import ss:// and wg-quick configurations.
• A built-in explainer shows how packets travel through the tunnel.

Use a Shadowsocks or WireGuard server that you operate or have credentials for, or subscribe to Gigoter Plus for optional managed servers.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-17

• Added a provided Blocked websites ruleset for services such as Google, YouTube, and Telegram, with the same setup flow as AI services.
• Assign routes directly in Rule Based mode and see the selected rule routes on the globe.
• Fixed ruleset enable switches, including pausing the last active ruleset.
• Improved route recommendations for your current network.
• Redesigned server rows with readable traffic usage and a clear menu for route details and actions.
• Remembered recent server latency and locations for faster loading, with refreshed measurements when needed.
• Improved globe markers and fixed spacing in the Plus Chain editor.
• Removed the blank lock screen when returning to the app.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-02

Home now shows whether the device is using Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, another network, an on-demand connection, or is offline, including Low Data Mode status. Network-exit details refresh whenever the device path changes. Gigoter Plus servers can now be copied into credential-free Plus-to-Plus chains: choose another Plus server as the entry, change it later, and preserve any service-authored path already required by the exit. If a selected relay is retired, the saved chain remains available to repair or remove. Managed credentials remain protected from local storage and ss:// export, while entitlement, overlap, cycle, and four-hop safety checks continue to fail closed.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-21

See both an optional one-time physical location and the approximate location of your current network exit on the dashboard. Country matching stays on device, and the signed GeoIP database can now update securely between app releases. Rule Based routing now assigns a proxy explicitly to each proxy rule instead of relying on a default. Managed-server refresh failures are nonblocking, and server-list menus are more stable.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-11

Gigoter Plus adds optional managed routes with automatic setup, secure credential refresh, and a 50 GB monthly allowance per server. This update also adds per-server usage tracking, Server Globe, network activity diagnostics, and improved connection controls.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-04

No release notes.
