Your servers. Your routing. On every device. OneXray is an open-source Xray-core client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Import your servers or subscriptions and choose how traffic is routed. Supports VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SOCKS, HTTP and Hysteria2 configurations. OneXray is a client only. It does not provide VPN access, proxy servers, or subscriptions. Bring a compatible configuration from a provider you trust. CONNECT YOUR WAY - Choose ordinary nodes automatically, with provider configurations as a fallback; select by subscription, manual additions, or individual server. - Use Smart Routing for local networks, a selected direct region, Apple/Microsoft services, and optional ad blocking. - Select 1–3 entry servers, round-robin or least-latency routing, and an optional final exit for Smart Routing chains. - Configure proxy/direct DNS, other DNS queries, fallback addresses, caching, and sniffing. View live probes for multi-server connections. - See current-connection speeds and traffic. Test node latency with a warning when VPN may affect the result. - Keep a stable default server order, or sort by name or latency. - Choose IPv4/IPv6 dialing policies and optional Happy Eyeballs for App-managed connections. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND COMPLETE CONFIGURATIONS - Import share links and Xray JSON nodes from text or files. Add subscriptions through compatible app links. - Organize servers by subscription or custom manual groups. Reorder groups and nodes within a group by dragging or using move buttons. - Use Remnawave subscriptions with multiple complete Xray configurations. Choose App-managed nodes or a provider configuration for each subscription. - Provider configurations keep explicit routing and DNS. OneXray adds missing VPN essentials and manages the platform tunnel, logs, and statistics. Copy a configuration to personal Raw JSON to edit it. - Use HTTPS subscriptions, optional age encryption and HWID, and scheduled subscription/GeoData updates. - Set a User-Agent for each subscription; import valid configurations even when some entries fail. - If a Remnawave response is not JSON, confirm conversion to an ordinary subscription. YOUR RULES AND CONFIGURATIONS - Create ordered domain, IP, port, network, protocol, and operating-system rules with GeoData suggestions. - Choose direct, VPN, or block actions. Import and share routes independently of servers. - Use an Advanced JSON template with existing nodes, or expert mode for personal complete Raw JSON. - Edit JSON with contextual hints for FinalMask, Freedom, TLS/ECH, QUIC, S3, and templates. Raw receives the same VPN essentials. Back up configurations and restore VPN settings only on the matching platform. - Export complete local logs without a size cap. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES Scan QR codes on iPhone and iPad. Add a connection widget on iOS/iPadOS 15+; iOS 17+ widget controls open the App to start or stop VPN. Open Mac settings from the app menu or Command-comma. Configure always-on behavior or Wi-Fi on-demand rules, with separate cellular or Ethernet behavior. Use iCloud or a selected local file for connection backups. A non-empty file can be restored or overwritten; an empty file is backed up immediately. Themes and language can follow the system; English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Persian are included. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO ANALYTICS. OneXray has no advertising, tracking, telemetry, or crash-reporting services. The developer does not collect your traffic, browsing history, configurations, or connection logs. Configured servers, subscription sources, DNS, update, and test services receive the requests needed for their functions and have their own privacy policies.
