Tunna - The Proxy Powerhouse for iOS Tunna isn't your average proxy app. It's a meticulously crafted tool for iOS, built on the rock-solid Xray Core and fully V2Ray compatible. If you're looking for deep control over your network traffic and demand performance, you're in the right place. Tunna speaks your language, supporting VLess, VMess, Trojan, and Shadowsocks out of the box. Heads up: Tunna is a client. You'll need your own proxy servers to get going. ⌘ Granular Traffic Control, Your Way. This is where Tunna shines. Forget basic on/off proxying. We're talking surgical precision: • Route by domain names, IPs (CIDR-aware), or specific ports. • Dive deeper with Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) and Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) protocol-based rules. • Set up intricate routing scenarios that just work. ⌘ iOS On-Demand: Smart & Seamless. Tunna plays nice with iOS. Its On-Demand feature means you set your target domains, and Tunna fires up the right connection automatically when you hit them. No manual switching, just intelligent, background connectivity. ⌘ Live Node Health: No More Guesswork. Wondering about node performance? Tunna's integrated RTT checker is always on, giving you a real-time pulse on latency and health across your configured nodes. You see what's fast, what's not, instantly. ⌘ Zero-Downtime Config: Uninterrupted Flow. Tired of tunnel restarts every time you tweak a setting? Tunna lets you change nodes, update rules, and modify configurations on the fly. Your connection stays live. Your workflow stays smooth. ⌘ Multi-Node Muscle: Beyond Basic Split Tunneling. This is where things get interesting. Tunna allows you to bind different rules to different nodes, simultaneously. • Implement advanced split tunneling with ease. • Go further and split traffic across multiple nodes based on your rules. Stream through one, browse through another – all at the same time. It’s about giving you the power to route traffic exactly how you envision. ⌘ Battery-Friendly by Design. A powerful proxy shouldn't kill your battery. Tunna is optimized for efficiency, especially during device sleep. It respects system states, so you get the power without the drain. ⌘ Management, Simplified. Juggling multiple proxy managed lists? Tunna provides a clean interface to manage and switch between them effortlessly. Tunna is for those who need more than just a toggle switch. It’s for users who want to command their connection, optimize their routes, and demand a stable, flexible, and efficient proxy experience on iOS. If that sounds like you, give Tunna a spin.

Burrow is a frp client built for developers and homelab tinkerers. It lets you securely connect from your phone to your own Mac, Linux, NAS, or GPU machine at home, and keep doing the things you would normally do in front of a computer. [Why Burrow] The local AI agent era is here. You might be running Claude Code, Cursor agents, local LLMs, Stable Diffusion, or other self-hosted services on a workstation, Mac mini, or NAS at home. When you are out, you want to use your phone to check progress, tweak configs, transfer files, run maintenance scripts. Exposing ports directly to the public internet is dangerous. Commercial remote-desktop tools route your traffic through their servers. Burrow uses frp's stcp visitor mode: - End-to-end encrypted; the key stays only between you and your devices - No public ports exposed on your home machines - All traffic flows only through your own frps server, with no third-party relay - We cannot, and never will, see any of your data [Three access modes] 1. Shell (PTY terminal) A full SSH terminal with support for vim, htop, tmux, color output, and ANSI escapes. Password and public-key authentication. Built-in favorites and runbooks: pin commands like "restart service", "tail logs", or "kick off training run", and execute them in one tap. 2. SFTP (file browser) Browse the remote filesystem by directory. Upload, download, rename, delete. Useful for pulling trained model weights, generated images, or logs back to your phone. 3. HTTP (in-app browser) A built-in WebView for accessing intranet web services: Jupyter, Open WebUI, Home Assistant, Grafana, the frps dashboard, your router admin page, self-hosted photo libraries, and so on. Self-signed certificate trust supported. [Who Burrow is for] - People running AI agents, local LLMs, or self-hosted services at home who need safe remote access - Developers who want to do server ops, check logs, or run scripts from their phone - Homelab enthusiasts and self-hosters who already run their own frps and at least one Linux or macOS machine [Who it is not for] - Users who want zero-config, install-and-go (you need to understand frp configuration) - Anyone needing graphical remote desktop (Burrow only does command line, files, and web) - Anyone expecting the app to run continuously in the background (limited by iOS foreground model) [What you need before starting] 1. A frps server you have deployed (a VPS, or another machine on your network) 2. A frpc daemon already running on the home machine you want to reach, with an stcp-type proxy configured 3. The same sk (shared key) on both sides 4. SSH enabled on the remote if you want shell, or a web service running if you want HTTP The "User Guide" section inside the app has a full getting-started walkthrough with example configs. [Privacy] Burrow does not collect any user data. All connection configurations (addresses, passwords, keys) are stored only on your device, in the iOS Keychain. No accounts. No login. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. [Feedback] This is the work of a solo developer. There is a feedback channel at the bottom of the in-app User Guide. If something does not work for you, please tell me.
