ShadowVPN

ShadowVPN is a minimal, fast, point-to-point VPN client built on the ShadowVPN protocol β€” a UDP, pre-shared-key, layer-3 tunnel using the shadowsocks AEAD encryption scheme. You bring your own server; ShadowVPN connects to it. Nothing is proxied through us, and there is no account to create. Follow the link to build your own server: https://github.com/madeye/shadowvpn FEATURES β€’ Fast UDP tunnel β€” a lightweight raw-IP data plane with no SOCKS layer or userland TCP stack overhead. β€’ Strong encryption β€” shadowsocks AEAD ciphers protect every datagram. β€’ Split tunneling β€” route only what you need and bypass traffic by country using an on-device GeoIP database. β€’ Multiple profiles β€” store and switch between several servers. β€’ Traffic obfuscation β€” optional obfuscation to blend in with ordinary traffic. β€’ On-device only β€” your keys and configuration never leave your device. β€’ Native & efficient β€” a SwiftUI app driving Apple's Network Extension, with a compact Rust core for the data plane. ShadowVPN is for users who want a simple, transparent, self-hosted VPN.

VsisProxy routes your entire device through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy with a single tap β€” no root, no account, no backend. Paste a proxy, tap Connect, and every app on your device goes through it. Switch to another proxy anytime without disconnecting first. FEATURES β€’ One-tap connect β€” the whole device routes through your chosen proxy via the on-device VPN (NetworkExtension), no jailbreak needed. β€’ HTTP & SOCKS5 β€” both protocols, auto-detected from the URL scheme. β€’ Bulk paste β€” add many proxies at once as ip:port, ip:port:user:pass, user:pass@ip:port, http://… or socks5://… β€’ Live Test β€” check any proxy in seconds and see its real outbound IP and latency. β€’ Instant switch β€” change from one proxy to another without disconnecting. β€’ No DNS leak β€” DNS is resolved through the proxy, so the proxy sees hostnames, not your real queries. β€’ Local-only β€” your proxies are stored only on your device. No backend, no analytics, no tracking. β€’ English & TiαΊΏng Việt. PRIVACY VsisProxy does not collect any data. It has no backend and no analytics. Your proxy list never leaves your device. The VPN profile is used solely to route your traffic through the proxy you choose. Need reliable proxies? Visit vsis.net.
