Bring your own servers and route your traffic through a secure, modern tunnel built on Xray — with no accounts, no sign-ups, and nothing collected about you. WHY HAMMER PROXY • Your servers, your rules — import a single key or a whole server list and connect in one tap. • Built on Xray for speed and resilience, with full-device tunneling. • Private by design — no tracking, no analytics, no activity logs. Your keys never leave your device. PROTOCOLS & SECURITY • VLESS, VMess, Trojan and Shadowsocks • Reality, XTLS / Vision and TLS • WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTPUpgrade, xHTTP, TCP, mKCP and QUIC transports POWERFUL, YET SIMPLE • One-tap connect with a clean, focused interface — or switch to Expert mode for full control. • Smart Ping finds your fastest server and checks which servers can open a given site. • Split routing — send chosen domains or IPs direct or through the proxy. • Server lists with traffic and expiry tracking, auto-update and multiple profiles. • Home-screen widget, Siri Shortcuts and quick actions. • Import and restore your settings and servers in seconds.

Bring your own server and take back control of your connection.

SMProxy is a client for connecting with your own configuration. One app across all your Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Your settings and server lists carry over, and the interface is the same everywhere. The app provides no VPN servers, contains no built-in connection and sells nothing. To get started, add a configuration you already have: paste a link, scan a QR code or enter the details by hand. Modern protocols are supported: VLESS, Reality, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks and Socks. Smart routing Not all traffic needs the tunnel. You can set exclusions by domain, IP and subnet (CIDR) — so your banking app or local network goes direct, for example. Routing rules from your configuration apply automatically, and the bundled geoip and geosite databases let them take effect instantly. DNS protection DNS queries are kept inside the tunnel so they cannot leak around it. You can also enable DNS-over-HTTPS and point it at any resolver you like. Server lists under control Automatic server-list refresh with an interval you choose, refresh on app launch, and a button to refresh everything at once. Server groups can be collapsed when the list gets long. Features • Import a configuration by link, QR code or manually • Pick a server manually or automatically, with latency testing • Exclusions by domain, IP and subnet • DNS leak protection and DNS-over-HTTPS • TLS fragmentation for difficult networks • Local SOCKS and HTTP proxy for other apps • Light and dark themes • Daily traffic statistics • Auto-connect on launch • Runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV Privacy The app keeps no logs of your activity and shares no data with third parties. Your configuration stays on your device only. Website: https://smproxy.com
