## What is MintFlow?

MintFlow is a powerful VPN client, proxy client, traffic monitor, and HTTP/HTTPS debugging toolkit for iPhone and iPad.

Bring your own VPN or proxy server, then decide exactly how traffic should flow. Use a simple single-output mode or build detailed rules for Direct, VPN, proxy, reject, and drop actions. Inspect DNS and network flows, capture HTTPS requests and responses, and test rewrites before using them.

VPN AND PROXY

- WireGuard VPN with file and QR code import
- HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies
- Pro support for AmneziaWG, Shadowsocks, Shadowsocks 2022, VMess, AnyTLS, and experimental Tailscale
- Route proxy traffic through VPN connections
- Tune DNS and MTU settings

FLEXIBLE ROUTING AND DNS

- Simple Mode for sending traffic to one Direct, VPN, or proxy output
- Rule Mode with CIDR, CIDR Set, and Domain Set matching
- Device-wide DNS with Direct DNS, DoT, and DoH
- Domain-based App Routing
- Static DNS records with Pro
- Live settings and clear guidance when a VPN restart is required

HTTPS CAPTURE AND WEB REWRITE

- Inspect HTTP/HTTPS requests, responses, headers, and bodies using MITM decryption
- Capture all supported traffic or select domains, IP addresses, and TCP ports
- Search capture history and preview JSON, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, images, and more
- Rewrite URLs or response bodies with jq and JavaScript
- Use HTTP API Research, Request Simulator, and Rewrite Lab tools
- Export AI-friendly analysis bundles and import or export portable .mfhrb rewrite bundles

NETWORK VISIBILITY

- DNS Log with a timeline and quick domain actions
- Flow Capture with source, destination, protocol, transfer, duration, route, and location details
- Pro packet capture with PCAPNG export

DIAGNOSTICS AND AUTOMATION

- Ping, Traceroute, DNS Test, VPN & Proxy Test, and profile diagnostics
- System route, DNS, and interface information
- Pro iPerf3 client for system, VPN, and proxy performance tests
- Siri Shortcuts and Pro On-Demand VPN rules

PROFILES THAT STAY PORTABLE

MintFlow uses readable text profiles as its source of truth. Edit, validate, diagnose, import, and export your configuration. Pro unlocks multiple profiles plus iCloud sync for profiles and local jq/JavaScript resources.

UNDER THE HOOD

VPPRS is MintFlow's custom-built vectorized packet-processing core, inspired by the architecture of fd.io VPP, originally contributed by Cisco. It powers performance-sensitive routing and advanced tools.

MintFlow 2.0 moves active packet processing to this foundation. Building and tuning core networking infrastructure takes sustained work; we are investing in it to improve performance, stability, and maintainability over time.

FREE AND PRO

Free includes WireGuard, HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies, Simple Mode, App Routing, DoH/DoT, DNS Log, Flow Capture, HTTP inspection, Capture All, and a practical allowance for domain sets and HTTP rewrite rules. Pro unlocks advanced protocols and tools, unlimited profile resources, iCloud sync, packet capture, and automation.

IMPORTANT

1. MintFlow does not provide VPN or proxy services. You must configure your own server or a compatible third-party service.
2. HTTPS inspection requires installing and trusting the MintFlow CA certificate. Certificate pinning and some protocols may prevent capture.
3. WireGuard® is a registered trademark of Jason A. Donenfeld.

### 5/5 — Great All-in-one VPN App!

*2026-06-07*

1.9.0 looks fantastic. Beyond adding support for more protocols like AmneziaWG 2.0, the app keeps improving in so many areas with every update. Out of all the apps I’ve purchased, this is easily one of the most satisfying to own. I’m really glad I discovered and bought it early on, and it’s been great seeing how much it has evolved over time. I’m also looking forward to seeing support for even more VPN and proxy protocols in the future!
