About

CyclonePro

Read full description

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 tookβ€”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.

About

Tropa

Features
Read full description

Tropa is a proxy client for a secure connection with an existing access key. Add a compatible configuration, choose a server, and connect through VLESS, V2Ray, or other supported protocols when provided by the key. Important: Tropa does not sell subscriptions, issue keys, or provide its own server catalog. You need an active key from your service provider or administrator. The key determines the configuration, servers, and protocols available to you. Data protection during connection Tropa helps create a secure connection from an existing configuration and manage it without entering network parameters by hand. The level of protection depends on the protocol, key settings, selected server, and network conditions. Compatible keys may use VLESS, V2Ray, or other protocols supported by the configuration. Tropa features 1. Secure connection. Use an existing configuration to create a connection based on your key settings. 2. Key-based activation. Paste the key manually or open the link you received when this method is supported by your configuration. 3. Clear validation results. Tropa confirms successful activation and shows when a key is invalid, blocked, or no longer active. 4. Available server list. Choose the servers included in your key configuration. 5. Connection controls and status. Create or end the connection from the main screen and see its current state at a glance. 6. Key details. Review the configuration name, expiration date, and other information when supplied by your provider. 7. Key replacement. Add a new key when the current one expires or when you need another configuration. 8. Automatic startup. Let Tropa create the connection automatically according to your selected settings. 9. Ad-free interface. Essential controls stay visible without advertising interruptions. How to get started 1. Obtain an active compatible key from your provider or administrator. 2. Open Tropa and add the key using one of the available methods. 3. Wait for the activation confirmation. 4. Select a server from the list loaded for your key. 5. Allow the device to create a network connection the first time, then tap Connect. After activation, Tropa keeps the essential controls on the main screen. You can check the connection state, choose another available server, open the key details, or disconnect. If the key is no longer active, replace it with a new key issued by your provider. Who Tropa is for The app is intended for users who already received a compatible key and want a secure proxy connection without configuring protocols manually. Tropa works on Wi-Fi and mobile networks and keeps the ready configuration in one focused interface. Server availability, expiration information, supported features, speed, and connection stability depend on your key, selected server, internet provider, and current network conditions. Tropa cannot renew or restore a third-party key without its provider. Use the app in accordance with the service rules and the laws applicable in your country.
