MintFlow is a powerful VPN client, proxy client, traffic monitor, and HTTP/HTTPS debugging toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Bring your own VPN or proxy server, then decide exactly how traffic should flow. Use a simple single-output mode or build detailed rules for Direct, VPN, proxy, reject, and drop actions. Inspect DNS and network flows, capture HTTPS requests and responses, and test rewrites before using them.

Edit, validate, diagnose, import, and export your configuration. Pro unlocks multiple profiles plus iCloud sync for profiles and local jq/JavaScript resources. UNDER THE HOOD VPPRS is MintFlow's custom-built vectorized packet-processing core, inspired by the architecture of fd.io VPP, originally contributed by Cisco. It powers performance-sensitive routing and advanced tools. MintFlow 2.0 moves active packet processing to this foundation. Building and tuning core networking infrastructure takes sustained work; we are investing in it to improve performance, stability, and maintainability over time. FREE AND PRO Free includes WireGuard, HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies, Simple Mode, App Routing, DoH/DoT, DNS Log, Flow Capture, HTTP inspection, Capture All, and a practical allowance for domain sets and HTTP rewrite rules. Pro unlocks advanced protocols and tools, unlimited profile resources, iCloud sync, packet capture, and automation. IMPORTANT 1. MintFlow does not provide VPN or proxy services. You must configure your own server or a compatible third-party service. 2. HTTPS inspection requires installing and trusting the MintFlow CA certificate. Certificate pinning and some protocols may prevent capture. 3. WireGuard® is a registered trademark of Jason A. Donenfeld.

Policy routing, DNS control and live diagnostics share one local configuration, so you always know where a connection went and why. Orange connects only to infrastructure you run yourself. No proxy nodes, no VPN exit servers, no hosted mesh service. Nothing you send passes through a server we operate. MESH PRIVATE NETWORK • Link your devices into one encrypted network with stable, persistent IPs • Reach any node by name, no IP addresses to remember • Verified peer-to-peer paths when the network allows, your own relay when it doesn't • End-to-end encrypted: your relay forwards sealed packets and never holds session keys • No account, no sign-up. Orange talks only to the servers you configure • Access by device, port and protocol, enforced by your control node • Reach an entire LAN through a gateway node you operate POLICY ROUTING • Match on domain, IP, GeoSite and GeoIP • Refine with source IP, destination port, inbound type and ALPN • Upstream pools with health checks and automatic selection • Global modes: rules, direct, reject, or a single forced upstream • Per connection: direct, reject, or a chosen upstream DNS CONTROL • Per-domain upstream selection, including concurrent upstreams • Encrypted DNS over DoT and DoH • Fake-IP for domain-level routing under TUN • Block ads and trackers at the DNS level with GeoSite categories SYSTEM-WIDE TUN • Captures TCP, UDP and DNS through the iOS Network Extension • SNI, HTTP and QUIC sniffing for accurate domain routing • DNS hijack prevention keeps queries on your resolver • Every app reaches your private network, no per-app setup YOUR OWN OUTBOUNDS • HTTPS, Trojan, Shadowsocks 2022 and WireGuard • Import nodes by pasting trojan://, ss:// or https:// URIs • WireGuard runs in userspace inside the Network Extension • HTTP/2 multiplexing on compatible HTTPS upstreams BUILT-IN DIAGNOSTICS • Live request tracing: path, timing and failure reason per connection • Real-time traffic and metrics dashboard, no extra tooling • Upstream health and latency at a glance • Readable logs you can export when you need a closer look ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • Widgets to toggle the tunnel and switch fallback policy • Shortcuts and Siri for start, stop, status and live metrics DESIGNED FOR • Reaching a home NAS, router or IoT device from anywhere • Keeping your own devices on one always-on private network • Connecting to an office intranet or internal services • Linking multiple sites through nodes you operate • Routing development and staging traffic by rule • Reaching self-hosted services without exposing them to the internet SUBSCRIPTION Orange is free to download and configure: import, edit, validate and export your configuration without subscribing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Orange Net at every 5 days against MintFlow's monthly. MintFlow's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
