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, Hysteria, TUIC v5, 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.io
Paart

Paart is a VPN client for IT consultants, network administrators and MSPs working with several networks on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Bring your configurations, organise your connections and see what is happening. YOUR CONFIGURATIONS, YOUR NETWORKS Import a file, scan a QR code or paste a configuration. Keep connections in groups, search your library and set their order. No Paart account is required, and there is no Paart VPN server between you and your own endpoints. Paart speaks plain WireGuard, so it connects to the firewall or server you already run. Nothing has to be installed there for this app to work: if the configuration is valid, Paart takes it. WORK ACROSS NETWORKS • On Mac, use several tunnels at once when their routes can coexist. • On iPhone and iPad, use one active connection at a time. • See handshake information, throughput and endpoint details. • Read, search and export connection logs. • Use on-demand rules for named Wi-Fi networks or cellular. • Export a connection or your library for backup or reuse. ADVANCED NETWORKING Label and switch remote subnets, add ranges, configure internal names with split DNS, and choose full tunnel routing. Add named hosts and reachability checks for the resources you need. These features are included on your chosen Free connection; Paart Pro makes them available on every connection. FREE, AND NOT A TRIAL Import and connect as many configurations as you like. All connection features are free on one connection of your choice, for life. You can move that allowance to another connection. iCloud synchronisation is free while your library contains exactly one connection. Adding a second pauses synchronisation; your data stays in iCloud. Returning to one makes synchronisation available again. This does not mean an automatic synchronisation starts. PAART PRO Use advanced networking on every connection and synchronise your whole library across your own devices. Synchronise through your private iCloud or an SFTP server you run, protected by a passphrase we cannot see or recover. One universal purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Choose a one-off purchase, or a monthly or yearly subscription. All three unlock the same features. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Your existing settings and configured tunnels stay in place. Changing advanced networking on connections outside the Free allowance requires Paart Pro.
