Potatso is a Mihomo (Clash) compatible network proxy tool for iPhone and iPad. Import your servers or subscriptions, choose how your traffic is routed, and keep an eye on your connections. == Multiple Proxy Protocols == Manage servers using Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, HTTP(S), SOCKS5 (including TLS), VLESS (including Reality), VMess, Trojan, Hysteria2, AnyTLS, Snell, and WireGuard. == Imports and Subscriptions == Import through links, files, or QR codes, or add servers manually. Bring in supported servers, policy groups, rules, and DNS settings from Clash/Mihomo, Stash, V2Ray/Xray, and Surge configurations, and WireGuard nodes from wg-quick .conf files. Check the import preview for compatibility details. Keep subscriptions and remote resources up to date with automatic updates, while retaining your local changes to subscribed configurations. == Flexible Routing == Switch between Rule, Global, and Direct modes, or let Smart Routing send local sites direct and everything else through your server. Select nodes manually or let policy groups choose automatically. Add custom rules, install community rule sets, and manage GeoIP/GeoSite data to route traffic to suit your setup. == Live Connection Details == See upload and download speeds, traffic charts, and active connections, including their matched rules and proxy chains. == Custom DNS == Configure DNS servers and domain-based resolution policies, with support for DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS. Run a DNS leak test to check where your lookups go. == Shortcuts, Widgets and Quick Controls == Connect, disconnect, or toggle the VPN from the Shortcuts app, Siri, Spotlight, or the Action button. Check connection status, control your connection, and switch between available nodes from Home Screen widgets. On iOS 18 and later, use the Control Center connection toggle. == Troubleshooting == Run diagnostics to find out why a server or profile can't connect, and export logs to share with support. == Potatso Pro == Pro adds Smart Routing, multiple profiles, node latency tests, a year of traffic statistics, Tailscale (reach your tailnet's devices and use an exit node alongside your proxy), Auto Connect on Wi-Fi or cellular, more Shortcuts actions (status, outbound mode, profile, and node), and removes ads. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. == Before You Connect == Potatso does not provide proxy servers. Use your own servers or an existing proxy subscription. == Privacy Policy == https://www.potatso.com/docs/privacy == Terms of Use == https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ == Feedback and Support == hi@potatso.com
