Chute vs SSTP Connect

Chute turns your iPhone and iPad into a complete network workstation: a rule-based proxy client, an HTTPS debugging proxy, and a full DNS stack — all running on a network engine written from scratch for Apple platforms. Switch it on once and the whole device is behind the proxy. Every connection your apps make can be inspected, routed, rewritten, or blocked by rules you wrote. SYSTEM-WIDE PROXY • Chute VIF — a transparent virtual interface on a custom TCP/IP stack, no per-app setup • Local HTTP and SOCKS5 servers for the other devices on your network • Hot reload — edit rules, DNS, and scripts without dropping a single connection • On-demand activation, per-Wi-Fi behavior, and persistence across reboots 17 PROXY PROTOCOLS HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 over TLS, Shadowsocks (AEAD, AEGIS, and 2022), ShadowsocksR, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, TUIC v5, Hysteria2, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, AnyTLS, ShadowTLS, MASQUE, and SSH tunneling — plus a built-in Tailscale client. Transport and TLS: XTLS Vision, REALITY, XHTTP, uTLS fingerprinting, ECH, and X25519MLKEM768 post-quantum key exchange. 30 RULE TYPES • DOMAIN, DOMAIN-SUFFIX, DOMAIN-KEYWORD, DOMAIN-WILDCARD, DOMAIN-REGEX • IP-CIDR, IP-CIDR6, GEOIP, IP-ASN, SUBNET — match on Wi-Fi SSID, BSSID, or router • SRC-IP, SRC-PORT, DEST-PORT, IN-PORT, IN-TYPE, IN-USER, IN-NAME • PROCESS-NAME, PROCESS-PATH, PROCESS-NAME-REGEX, USER-AGENT, URL-REGEX • PROTOCOL, HOSTNAME-TYPE, and AND / OR / NOT for composite conditions • RULE-SET and DOMAIN-SET with remote subscriptions and auto-update • SCRIPT for the cases a rule alone cannot express POLICY GROUPS • URL-Test — always ride the lowest-latency node • Fallback — automatic failover the moment a node degrades • Load Balance — round-robin, consistent hash, or sticky sessions • SSID — switch policy automatically by Wi-Fi network • Select — take the wheel manually whenever you want it MODERN DNS • DoH, DoH3, DoQ, DoT, and plain DNS — a different resolver per domain if you want • FakeDNS for fast, leak-free routing decisions • EDNS Client Subnet, negative caching, custom hosts, and full query logs TRAFFIC INSPECTION • Capture HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS live, with full headers and bodies • HTTPS decryption scoped to exactly the hosts and paths you choose • URL rewrite, header rewrite, and JSONPath body rewrite • Local mock responses for offline work and edge-case testing • Real-time throughput charts, per-connection detail, and traffic accounting SCRIPTING AND MODULES • A JavaScript engine for requests, responses, DNS resolution, and scheduled tasks • A persistent store, an HTTP client, and notification APIs available to your scripts • Modules package rules, rewrites, and scripts into one installable file BRING YOUR EXISTING SETUP • Import Clash and sing-box profiles from a subscription URL, a file, or over Wi-Fi • Remote subscriptions with automatic update • Pair with Chute Dashboard, a free Mac app, to inspect iPhone traffic over Wi-Fi or USB BUILT FOR DAILY USE • Home Screen widget, Control Center control, and a Notification Center toggle • Face ID / Touch ID lock • Picture in Picture traffic monitor FREE AND PAID The proxy engine, the rule engine, the DNS stack, and the live dashboard are free to use with one configuration. A single one-time purchase — no subscription — adds multiple switchable configurations, iCloud sync, HTTPS decryption, traffic recording for Chute Dashboard, local server control, the Picture in Picture monitor, and Always On. One purchase covers up to 3 iPhone or iPad devices and 3 Apple TV devices. Chute does not operate proxy servers and does not provide network access on its own — you bring your own server or a service you already use. Traffic and logs stay on your device. Chute collects no browsing data and sells nothing to anyone.

SSTP Connect is a VPN client that supports these protocols: - SSTP (MS-SSTP) - SoftEther VPN This is only a VPN client. No VPN service is included. You need to specify the server you are connecting to. • Native Only iOS native libraries are used in the core function, including the TLS stack. No OpenSSL. Connections are saved natively so that you can start a connection from the system settings. • Simple VPN clients ought to be small and simple. No ads, analytics or other 3rd-party SDK are included. • Privacy No data is collected from you. Connection log only exists in the memory and is never saved to the device. • Complete Support all password and certificate-based authentications available in Windows 11. Support authenticating by password and certificate at the same time with TEAP (EAP chaining). Protocol details below. • Security Passwords and certificates are stored in the iOS keychain. SSTP Connect never saves them locally for convenience. • IPv6 Ready Support both IPv6 connections and stateless IPv6 configuration in the VPN tunnels. (DHCPv6 not supported) • More than TCP Support NAT traversal (NAT-T) and UDP acceleration just like the official SoftEther client. • Easy Import and Export Not only from SSTP Connect, reading connection settings from SoftEther Client Manager is also a piece of cake. • Routing Accept static routes pushed from the server or add your own entries. SSTP Authentication Methods - PEAP - EAP-TTLS - TEAP (EAP chaining) - EAP-TLS - EAP-MSCHAPv2 - MSCHAPv2 - CHAP - PAP SoftEther Authentication Methods - Password - RADIUS / NT Domain Password - Certificate - Anonymous Supported Server Platforms • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later • Microsoft Azure P2S VPN • MikroTik RouterOS* • SoftEther VPN Server • VPN Azure * Servers configured without certificates are not supported. SSTP Connect is a third-party implementation based on Microsoft Open Specifications and SoftEther VPN source code.
