About

Duck Connect

Features
Read full description

DuckConnect turns a configuration you already have into a working connection. Paste the link, pick an endpoint, tap once — protocol handling and routing are the app's job, not yours. Works with any provider. The app ships no servers and no access of its own: point it at a subscription link or a single configuration and it reads whatever comes back — a server list or one endpoint, plain text or base64 — applying the routing rules exactly as they were written. Key features: • Modern protocols, including VLESS and REALITY • Compatibility with XTLS-based configurations • Import by link, QR code, or clipboard • Built on the v2ray/xray core • Endpoint list with live response times • Live download and upload speed with a session timer • Automatic refresh, so new endpoints appear on their own • One-tap connection management • Light and dark themes The account keeps only what it needs to work: your sign-in email or ID, your subscription status and an install identifier, so the account stays after you reinstall the app.
