CyclonePro is a focused iOS client for connecting to an Outline or Shadowsocks server you already have access to. IMPORT YOUR SERVER Paste a standard ss:// access key or scan its QR code. Add more than one server and choose the connection you need. CHECK BEFORE YOU CONNECT See each imported endpoint and encryption method, then run an on-demand local reachability check. CyclonePro reports whether the endpoint accepts a TCP connection and how long the check took—without sending the access-key password. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Access keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. CyclonePro contains no advertising or tracking SDKs and does not collect browsing history, DNS queries, traffic content, or device identifiers. NATIVE iOS CONNECTION CyclonePro uses Apple's Network Extension framework to create and manage the VPN configuration on your device. PLEASE NOTE CyclonePro is a client application. It does not sell, provide, or discover proxy servers. You must obtain an access key from your own server or its administrator. The operator of the server you choose may process connection metadata and unencrypted traffic under their own terms and privacy policy. Use the app and your server in accordance with applicable laws.
