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, choose how traffic is routed, and connect through the system VPN. 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 WITHOUT THE COMPLEXITY - Choose servers automatically, by subscription, by location, or individually. - Start with Smart Routing: keep local networks, a selected region, and Apple or Microsoft services direct. Ad blocking is optional. - Select 1–3 entry servers for automatic selection and load balancing. Add an optional final exit for a chained connection. - Choose All via VPN when you want traffic handled by the tunnel to use your selected server. - See live upload/download speeds and traffic for the current connection. YOUR RULES, WHEN YOU NEED THEM - Create named custom routes with domain, IP, port, and network conditions. - Choose direct, VPN, or block actions and use GeoData suggestions while editing. - Import and share custom routes independently of your servers. - Switch to expert mode to select, edit, import, and share complete Raw JSON configurations. OneXray still manages the tunnel and related runtime settings. KEEP SERVERS ORGANIZED - Import supported share links and Xray JSON nodes from text or files. Scan QR codes on iPhone and iPad. - Browse by subscription or server location, with latency and protocol labels. - Edit, share, and delete servers and subscriptions. - Use HTTPS subscriptions, including age-encrypted subscriptions when supported by the source. - Refresh subscriptions and routing data manually or on a schedule. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES - Configure always-on behavior or on-demand rules that connect or disconnect the VPN on selected Wi-Fi networks. - Set separate behavior for cellular connections on iOS or Ethernet on macOS. - Manage VPN tunnel options, inspect the generated Xray configuration, and view local access/error logs. - Follow the system theme and language, or choose your own. Includes English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Persian. 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 connectivity-test services receive the requests needed to provide their functions and have their own privacy policies.
