Chute vs Datpub

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 and every connection your apps make can be inspected, routed, rewritten, or blocked by your rules. 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 other devices on your network • Proxy chaining — a node through another node, a group through one upstream, or one Front Proxy for every node • Hot reload — edit rules, DNS, and scripts without dropping a connection; on-demand start that survives 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 fingerprints, ECH, X25519MLKEM768 post-quantum exchange, UDP for VMess, VLESS, and Shadowsocks. 27 RULE TYPES • DOMAIN, DOMAIN-SUFFIX, DOMAIN-KEYWORD, DOMAIN-WILDCARD, DOMAIN-REGEX • IP-CIDR / IP-CIDR6, GEOIP, IP-ASN, SUBNET — by Wi-Fi SSID, BSSID, or router • SRC-IP, SRC-PORT, DEST-PORT, IN-PORT, IN-TYPE, IN-USER, IN-NAME, with port ranges • USER-AGENT, URL-REGEX, PROTOCOL, HOSTNAME-TYPE, AND / OR / NOT • RULE-SET, DOMAIN-SET, and inline rule sets, with remote subscriptions • SCRIPT, and FINAL as the catch-all POLICY GROUPS • URL-Test — always ride the lowest-latency node • Fallback — automatic failover when a node degrades • Load Balance — round-robin, consistent hash, or sticky sessions • Relay — chain the members in order, traffic leaving from the last one • Random — a different member per connection • SSID — switch policy automatically per Wi-Fi network • Select — take the wheel whenever you want it MODERN DNS • DoH, DoH3, DoQ, DoT, and plain DNS — a different resolver per domain if you want • Dedicated pools: one for DIRECT traffic, one for your servers' names, one as fallback • Fake IP, EDNS Client Subnet, negative caching, custom hosts, and query logs TRAFFIC INSPECTION • Capture HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS live, headers and bodies included • HTTPS decryption scoped to the hosts and paths you choose, with HTTP/2 and QUIC blocking • URL rewrite, header rewrite, and JSONPath or jq body rewrite • Local mock responses for offline work and edge cases • Real-time throughput charts, per-connection detail, and accounting SCRIPTING • A JavaScript engine for requests, responses, DNS resolution, and scheduled tasks • A persistent store, an HTTP client, and notification APIs; Modules package rules, rewrites, and scripts into one file BRING YOUR EXISTING SETUP • Import Clash and sing-box profiles, share links, and node lists by URL, file, clipboard, or Wi-Fi • mihomo GEOSITE, GEOIP, SUB-RULE, and detour / dialer-proxy import as working rules and chains • Pair with Chute Dashboard, a free Mac app, to inspect iPhone traffic over Wi-Fi or USB BUILT FOR DAILY USE • Adapts to the foldable iPhone, folded or open • 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, the web console, the HTTP API, and the dashboard are free with one configuration. A one-time purchase — no subscription — adds multiple switchable configurations, iCloud sync, HTTPS decryption, traffic recording for Chute Dashboard, local server control, Picture in Picture, 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 provides no network access on its own — 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.
