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

Lama Client

Features
Read full description

Lama Client is a VPN client for your own access keys. Add one key or several, and the llama keeps the connection going. IMPORTANT: you need an access key from your provider β€” a vless://, vmess://, trojan:// or ss:// link, or a subscription URL. The app does not sell or provide VPN servers. SEVERAL KEYS, ONE QUEUE Keys from different providers live in one list, in the order you choose. Turn on Autopilot, and if the active key drops or the internet stops working through it, the llama connects the next one. You don't have to tap anything. AUTOPILOT β€’ Turns the VPN on by itself on unfamiliar Wi-Fi and on cellular β€’ Trusted networks: no VPN at home or at work β€’ Regularly checks that the connection through the key is alive, and switches keys if it isn't EASY TO ADD A KEY Paste a link from the clipboard, scan a QR code, or load every key from your provider's subscription. Each key shows its latency, and the list can be sorted by speed. Keep a note on a key β€” for example, when it expires. ROUTES Pick sites that should open directly, outside the VPN β€” your bank, for example. Or the other way round: send only selected sites through the key. THE LLAMA The llama dozes while the VPN is off and stands guard once you're connected. A Home Screen widget turns the VPN on and off without opening the app, and a Live Activity shows the status on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. PRIVACY β€’ No account, no registration, no ads β€’ No analytics or third-party trackers β€’ Keys are stored in the iPhone's encrypted Keychain and never leave the device β€’ We run no servers of our own: traffic goes to your provider's server Protocols: VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks; TLS and Reality; TCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTPUpgrade and XHTTP transports. The connection uses Apple's system VPN mechanism. On first connection iOS asks permission to add a VPN configuration. Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
