Proxy Quick helps you connect through an HTTP CONNECT or SOCKS5 proxy that you provide on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Save proxy profiles, keep credentials in Keychain, and switch the connection on when you need it. Add host, wildcard domain, and CIDR rules to choose which traffic uses your proxy and which traffic stays direct. Key features: - Save user-provided proxy hosts, ports, and credentials - HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 profiles - Switch the connection on and off from the app - Check proxy authentication and connection setup without sending traffic payloads - Route domains or IP ranges through a proxy profile or direct connection - macOS menu bar controls for status and connection actions - In-app language switching from settings Optional Pro one-time unlock adds multiple profiles and ordered proxy groups with pre-relay failover, expanded rule management, previewed import from files, text, or QR codes, password-free JSON/QR export, network-based On Demand, automatic snapshots and iCloud backup, and diagnostic log export. QR images can be sent through the system share sheet. Proxy Quick does not provide, host, sell, or bundle proxy servers. You bring your own proxy server. There are no app accounts, advertising SDKs, traffic payload logs, or HTTPS interception. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.
