About

ShadowVPN

Features
Read full description

ShadowVPN is a minimal, fast, point-to-point VPN client built on the ShadowVPN protocol — a UDP, pre-shared-key, layer-3 tunnel using the shadowsocks AEAD encryption scheme. You bring your own server; ShadowVPN connects to it. Nothing is proxied through us, and there is no account to create. Follow the link to build your own server: https://github.com/madeye/shadowvpn FEATURES • Fast UDP tunnel — a lightweight raw-IP data plane with no SOCKS layer or userland TCP stack overhead. • Strong encryption — shadowsocks AEAD ciphers protect every datagram. • Split tunneling — route only what you need and bypass traffic by country using an on-device GeoIP database. • Multiple profiles — store and switch between several servers. • Traffic obfuscation — optional obfuscation to blend in with ordinary traffic. • On-device only — your keys and configuration never leave your device. • Native & efficient — a SwiftUI app driving Apple's Network Extension, with a compact Rust core for the data plane. ShadowVPN is for users who want a simple, transparent, self-hosted VPN.
