Не работает в фоновом режиме

Приложение не работает в фоновом режиме, оно просто теряет всякий смысл

Не работает в фоне

Это просто отстой, когда приложение сворачиваешь и оно выдает предупреждение, что не работает в фоне. Весь смысл приложения пропадает. Не покупайте его!

Too bad

It doesn't support background running, yet it's still okay to charge for it ???

Useless

It only runs in the foreground. Can’t setup a systemwide SOCKS proxy.

trash!

Don’t buy, socks5 did not work! Did not support ios18!

Scum

Полный развод, не работает в фоне, кончается сразу. Взяли деньги мошенники!

Needs background app refresh

Works great but would appreciate if you could update it to work with background app refresh so you can connect to the forwarded port in other apps

Won’t work in background as a VPN

This will not redirect all the traffic of the device through the tunnel

Absolute scam

I needed it to access a web server on a router which is only accessible from local network. I normally access it in macOS with a port tunnel. With this app is impossible. It uses some kind of built in browser incapable of accessing localhost as the ssh server host or the ip 192.168.5.1. Completely useless. It is meant to access internet only

Warning: Tunnel only works for 10 seconds.

DO NOT BUY. Creator is not actively fighting for that apple restriction. Tunnel close after 10 seconds if you go to other apps. Its doesnt work background so if youre planning to use that tunnel out of the app. Goodluck with that 10 secs switching back and forth to keep tunnel alive.

In-app browser is leaking my IP

I open the browser and it’s picking up my ISP IP, not the tunnel’s. That was my main use case and it doesn’t work.

Maybe it’s useful on iPad in split view, but on iOS it’s sort of useless? Maybe it’s just my lack knowledge but ipleak.net is showing my region, not the server’s

The app can't run in the background

The app can't run in the background, totally useless, and they didn't mention it in the description before buying it.

Do not fall for this one!!

Though promised in the description, 2FA does not work. This makes the app unusable for my case.

Furthermore, it seems like the App is not maintained. The last update was some years ago.

Using it on an iPhone 7

Сабж. Приложение бесполезное, не ведитесь.

I couldn't use it :(

I use ssh tunneling in PC for years. I wanted something like that to force all apps go through that tunnel. I thought this app can do but didn't!
I wish I could get my USD $10 back!

请谨慎购买

如果你想用这个软件挂全局代理,千万不要买。

Does not work in background

App can’t work in background and so is practically useless.
Author’s claims that this restriction of Apple can’t be bypassed is not true. There are ssh apps in appstore that successfully work in background for hours.

Scam app

Hello I don’t use this app once I downloaded when I can’t used I deleted and you charge me 15 dollar can u tell me why u charge if I don’t have subscription

Unbrauchbar

Leider fehlt es an Dokumentation. Ich habe die Einbindung für den privat Key ausprobiert und die App kommt darauf nicht klar.
Der Key kommt aus dem Putty Keygen welchen ich als unterstütztes Format erwarte, da Putty weiter verbreitet ist.
Geht aber nicht!
Oke, dann bitte eine gute Dokumentation wie man es richtig macht… leider auch nicht vorhanden. Die Webseite der App die von dem Entwickler kommt hilft da leider auch nicht weiter.
Schade! Ich werde meinen Server nicht auf User/Password Auth umstellen und daher kann ich aktuell nichts mit der App anfangen.

Yeah, Works Well Enough

Does the job and had the feature I needed, namely, binding the proxy interface without the local host. But, ultimately, SOCKS just isn't good at capturing all traffic generated on this or other hosts, and the background restrictions make it difficult to use for all but the simplest uses, so I think you'll want to implement a VPN interface to capture traffic and route at least TCP via SOCKS, in the fashion of tun2socks. Better yet if it could both tunnel traffic and offer a proxy for use, which would allow you to use any existing VPN connections on the device. I know not all of this is really your fault, but you have to work within these limitations ...
