About

Duck Connect

Features
Read full description

DuckConnect turns a configuration you already have into a working connection. Paste the link, pick an endpoint, tap once — protocol handling and routing are the app's job, not yours. Works with any provider. The app ships no servers and no access of its own: point it at a subscription link or a single configuration and it reads whatever comes back — a server list or one endpoint, plain text or base64 — applying the routing rules exactly as they were written. The app itself is free and contains no in-app purchases. What you connect through is entirely up to you. Key features: • Modern protocols, including VLESS and REALITY • Compatibility with XTLS-based configurations • Import by link, QR code, or clipboard • Built on the v2ray/xray core • Endpoint list with live response times • Live download and upload speed with a session timer • Automatic refresh, so new endpoints appear on their own • One-tap connection management • Light and dark themes No accounts and no sign-up. Configurations are stored on the device only; the app collects no personal data and contains no ads, analytics or tracking SDKs.

About

Proxy VPN

Features
Read full description

Proxy VPN is a companion app for Proxy Panel. Import a private HTTPS key that represents one secure server, then manage that connection from your iPhone or iPad. A compatible Proxy Panel key is required. Proxy VPN does not include a built-in server catalog or sell server access in the app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create Proxy Panel on a server you control, or receive a key from a trusted administrator. 2. Copy the panel's private HTTPS key. 3. Import the key into Proxy VPN. 4. Review the server details and tap Connect. DESIGNED FOR CONTROL • One panel key represents one server. • See connection status and active server details at a glance. • Keep imported keys and connection preferences under your control. • Remove a key from the app whenever you choose. • Use a clear interface designed for both iPhone and iPad. PRIVACY AND RESPONSIBILITY Proxy VPN does not require an in-app account. Imported keys and configuration are stored on your device and remain under your control. The app contacts the HTTPS key URL you provide to retrieve configuration and connects to the server defined by that key. The operator of your panel, key endpoint, or server may have separate data practices, so use only infrastructure you trust and review its privacy terms. Proxy VPN is a technical client. Server availability, performance, and data handling depend on the panel and server operator. You are responsible for your server, access key, service costs, and lawful use.
