Connect your iPhone through a proxy you already use and trust. JocoProxy is a bring-your-own-proxy client for SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT endpoints. It does not sell or provide proxy servers. ADD YOUR ENDPOINT Create profiles manually with a host, port, protocol, and optional credentials. Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain and are not shown after saving. START AN ON-DEVICE TUNNEL Choose a profile and connect using the system VPN permission. The Packet Tunnel extension sends traffic directly to your selected proxy. FREE WITH ADS, OR REMOVE THEM WITH PRO The free version includes one proxy profile and shows ads from AdMob: a banner on the profile list and an occasional full-screen ad before a connection starts. Where required, the app asks for ad consent and for Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission; if you allow tracking, your device's advertising identifier may be used to personalize ads. You can decline and keep using the app. JocoProxy Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, removes all ads and unlocks unlimited profiles. PRIVACY No account required. Optional anonymous product analytics goes to PostHog and AppsFlyer only after you opt in and can be turned off at any time. Proxy settings, credentials, destinations, traffic, raw errors, and diagnostic contents are never shared with analytics or advertising partners. Please use only proxy servers you are authorized to access. HTTP CONNECT does not carry UDP traffic.
