Your internet, Anywhere — fast, private, and beautifully simple. Anywhere is the proxy client your Apple devices deserve. No clunky wrappers, no bloated cross-platform shells — just a clean, native app built from the ground up in Swift, designed to feel like it belongs on your device. Because it does. Traveling abroad, working remotely, or simply wanting a more private way to browse? Anywhere connects you in a single tap, then quietly gets out of your way. --- WHY ANYWHERE • One tap and you're on. No menus to dig through, no dashboards to decode — open the app, tap once, done. • Fast by nature. Built natively in Swift, Anywhere launches in a blink, sips battery, and moves your traffic with the speed only a true native app can deliver. • Every connection takes the right path. Smart routing rules send traffic through your server when it needs protection and straight to the internet when it doesn't — so pages load faster and videos stream smoother. • Made for where you are. Heading home for the holidays? Country Bypass keeps your local apps running at full speed while everything else stays protected. • Ads, gone. Purify blocks ads at the network level — across your browser, your apps, and your favorite streaming services. No extensions required. --- EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • iPhone and iPad, with one-tap toggles right in Control Center • Apple TV, as a full native app for the living room • Apple Watch, so you can connect and switch setups from your wrist --- A FULL TOOLKIT, BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED • Import a subscription from a link or a quick QR scan • Test server latency with a single tap • Link servers into chains for advanced setups • Always On VPN, for protection that never sleeps • Deep, flexible routing rules for power users • Capture and inspect traffic with the built-in MITM tools --- WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Anywhere speaks the protocols you already use — VLESS (with Vision and Reality), Hysteria2, Shadowsocks, Trojan, AnyTLS, and more. If your provider hands you a subscription link, Anywhere takes it from there. --- PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Your traffic flows through your servers — never ours. We don't see it, we don't log it, we don't want it. And Anywhere is open source under GPLv3, so anyone can verify exactly what we do — and what we don't. --- BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO CARE We made Anywhere because we were tired of proxy apps that felt like homework. So we built the one we wanted to use: native, thoughtful, and polished down to details you can feel the moment it opens. --- Download Anywhere — and see what a proxy client can be when it's truly made for the device in your hand.

About

Hysteria 2 VPN

Features
Read full description

Hysteria 2 VPN is a free, public bring-your-own-profile client for Hysteria 2 and certificate-free IKEv2/PSK servers. It is offered to the general public in the App Store territories where it is available and is not restricted to XOmobile or any company or organization. No account, invitation, pre-approval, purchase, subscription, or business relationship is required. Import a profile for a compatible server that you own, administer, or are authorized to use; review how traffic will be handled; and connect through Apple’s native VPN interface. Hysteria 2 uses the app’s Packet Tunnel over QUIC and TLS 1.3. IKEv2 uses Apple’s system IPsec client with PSK server authentication and EAP username/password authentication. Features: - device-wide VPN routing using NetworkExtension; - certificate-free IKEv2/PSK through Apple Personal VPN; - IPv4 and IPv6 support; - TCP, UDP, and DNS through the tunnel; - local profile storage in Apple Keychain; - passwords and IKEv2 PSKs supplied to the system VPN only through persistent Keychain references; - normal certificate validation or optional SHA-256 pinning; - clear protected, connecting, disconnecting, and blocked states; - no ads, analytics, or client telemetry; - replace or delete the local profile at any time; - supports iOS 15.0 and later. All features in the app are available without payment. A compatible profile for a server you own, administer, or are authorized to use is required only to establish a VPN connection; it does not unlock app functionality or paid content. XOmobile does not sell or provide VPN access, and the app does not bundle, identify, recommend, link to, or automatically select a VPN service. Whoever operates the configured server can process tunneled traffic and may have separate terms and a separate privacy policy. Hysteria profiles that disable certificate verification reduce protection against server impersonation. IKEv2/PSK profiles use no certificate and therefore require a strong, private PSK of at least 32 bytes.
