Proxy Switchboard turns your own servers into a smart, rule-based proxy for your iPhone and iPad. Bring your own SSH server, SOCKS5/HTTP proxy, Shadowsocks, WireGuard peer or Tor — the app routes every connection exactly where you want it. YOUR SERVERS, YOUR RULES • Route by hostname: send *.example.com through one proxy, everything else direct • Three modes: route everything, rules-only, or direct • Exclusions for hosts that should always bypass the tunnel • One-tap presets for popular services • Built-in route tester shows exactly which rule and proxy a hostname will use ALL YOUR PROTOCOLS • SSH tunnels (password or private key, with a built-in SSH terminal) • SOCKS5, HTTP and HTTPS proxies • Shadowsocks, WireGuard and Tor • Proxy groups with round-robin or lowest-latency failover • Import servers by QR code, link or subscription URL — auto-refreshed SEE YOUR TRAFFIC • Live per-proxy and per-destination traffic stats • Long-press any hostname to copy it or turn it into a rule • HTTPS inspection (MITM) with on-device request/response logs — your data never leaves your phone • MCP for AI debugging support SHARE & CONTROL • Share your proxy setup over Wi-Fi with other devices on your network • Optional browser-based settings editor • Home Screen widget with one-tap connect and live status • Connect on demand, per-Wi-Fi network rules PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts.
