NetTun is a network connection and configuration manager designed for self-hosted websites built on popular open-source panels such as sspanel, v2board, malio, and xiaoboard. These open-source projects can be independently deployed as websites for account management, configuration distribution, and announcements. NetTun focuses on providing a smoother, more consistent client experience for users of such sites. With NetTun, you simply enter the name of your website and sign in to your own account. After a successful login, NetTun automatically syncs the account’s subscription configuration, announcements, and required connection settings, helping reduce manual copy/paste steps and common configuration errors.

By default, the app does not persistently store user identity information or proxy service configuration on the device; data is only used as needed for syncing and connectivity. Users are responsible for ensuring they have lawful authorization to use the selected services and for complying with applicable laws and service terms. (Apple also requires VPN-style apps to be clear about data practices and to commit to not selling/using/disclosing sensitive data to third parties.)
