oixCloud is a native proxy client for iPhone and iPad. Manage your servers and subscriptions, choose how traffic is routed, and connect from one place. CONNECTIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Import supported configurations by link, file or QR code. Test server latency, switch nodes and organize subscriptions, proxy chains and policy groups. Supports protocols including Shadowsocks, VLESS, Trojan, Hysteria2, SOCKS5, Snell and AnyTLS. ROUTING AND NETWORK TOOLS Choose rule-based, global or direct routing. Configure rule sets, DNS, ad blocking and direct routing for selected regions. Always On uses the system's on-demand VPN connection. Connection events and diagnostics help investigate network problems. TAILSCALE Connect to your tailnet from the app, with support for MagicDNS, subnet routes, exit nodes and compatible self-hosted Headscale servers. RULES AND MODULES Import supported modules and manage their rules and scripts. Optional MITM features inspect and rewrite selected traffic on your device after you enable them and trust the required certificate. Only install scripts from sources you trust: scripts can make their own network requests. iCLOUD AND APPLE TV Choose which categories to sync between your iPhone and iPad: proxies, rules, modules, MITM, automation, settings and account. View sync status and use Sync Now; Recently Deleted can restore nodes and subscriptions deleted on this device within three days. Sync to Apple TV is a separate switch. Publish proxies, subscriptions, chains, policy groups, rule sets and your oixCloud sign-in to Apple TV using the same Apple Account. Apple TV keeps its own connection and routing settings and does not receive modules. For sync compatibility, update all participating devices to 1.34 or later; versions 1.33 and earlier use a different sync system. STRICT NO-LOGS POLICY The oixCloud service does not collect or record your traffic contents, visited websites or DNS queries. Local connection diagnostics help with troubleshooting; diagnostic packages you choose to export may contain anonymized connection metadata. Optional iCloud sync stores the configuration categories you enable. Your chosen server provider and third-party scripts may have their own data practices. Use your own compatible servers and subscriptions, or sign in to an existing oixCloud account to retrieve managed nodes. Server access and any related service charges depend on your provider.
