Gigoter

Gigoter is a clean, fast client for connecting to Shadowsocks or WireGuard from iPhone, iPad, and Mac. BRING YOUR OWN SERVER Gigoter does not require an account. Add a server you control by entering its details, importing an ss:// link, or pasting a standard wg-quick configuration. This workflow is free. An optional Gigoter Plus auto-renewable subscription provides managed, ready-to-use routes and keeps their credentials current. ROUTING MODES ⢠Global mode sends all supported traffic through one selected route. ⢠Rule Based mode can send selected services through specific proxies while other traffic remains direct. ⢠Direct mode keeps the tunnel available without using a proxy route. ⢠Switch modes while connected without restarting the VPN session. PROTOCOLS ⢠Shadowsocks with aes-128-gcm, aes-256-gcm, and chacha20-ietf-poly1305, including UDP relay. ⢠WireGuard with Noise handshakes, optional preshared keys, automatic rekeying, and keepalives. GIGOTER PLUS ⢠Managed routes appear automatically after subscribing. ⢠Each managed server includes a 50 GB monthly traffic allowance. ⢠View current per-server usage and securely refreshed credentials in the app. ⢠Monthly and yearly plans provide the same features. LOCATION, SERVER MAP, AND DIAGNOSTICS ⢠View an optional one-time physical location, the approximate location of your underlying network, and your proxy route. ⢠Explore proxy routes on an interactive Apple MapKit globe with atlas and satellite views, with controls and server selection in a bottom sheet on iPhone and iPad, or a sidebar on Mac. ⢠Measure server latency and inspect recent network activity. ⢠Exit and relay IPs are sent to IP2Location.io for approximate city and region lookup. Direct destination cities stay on-device. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY ⢠No developer account, no sign-up, no advertising, and no analytics. ⢠Credentials for servers you add remain on your device. ⢠Gigoter does not retain browsing history, destination domains, destination IP addresses, or traffic contents on developer-operated services. ⢠Optional packet captures you explicitly start are saved on your device and are never uploaded automatically. SIMPLE BY DEFAULT ⢠One tap to connect or disconnect. ⢠Import ss:// and wg-quick configurations. ⢠A built-in explainer shows how packets travel through the tunnel. Use a Shadowsocks or WireGuard server that you operate or have credentials for, or subscribe to Gigoter Plus for optional managed servers.
