About

Gigoter

Features
Read full description

Gigoter is a clean, fast client for connecting to Shadowsocks or WireGuard from iPhone and iPad. BRING YOUR OWN SERVER Gigoter does not require an account. Add a server you control by entering its details, importing an ss:// link, or pasting a standard wg-quick configuration. This workflow is free. An optional Gigoter Plus auto-renewable subscription provides managed, ready-to-use routes and keeps their credentials current. ROUTING MODES • Global mode sends all supported traffic through one selected route. • Rule Based mode can send selected services through specific proxies while other traffic remains direct. • Direct mode keeps the tunnel available without using a proxy route. • Switch modes while connected without restarting the VPN session. PROTOCOLS • Shadowsocks with aes-128-gcm, aes-256-gcm, and chacha20-ietf-poly1305, including UDP relay. • WireGuard with Noise handshakes, optional preshared keys, automatic rekeying, and keepalives. GIGOTER PLUS • Managed routes appear automatically after subscribing. • Each managed server includes a 50 GB monthly traffic allowance. • View current per-server usage and securely refreshed credentials in the app. • Monthly and yearly plans provide the same features. LOCATION, SERVER MAP, AND DIAGNOSTICS • View an optional one-time physical location and the approximate location of the current network exit. • Explore proxy routes on an interactive Apple MapKit globe with atlas and satellite views, with controls and server selection in one bottom sheet. • Measure server latency and inspect recent network activity. • Exit and relay IPs are sent to IP2Location.io for approximate city and region lookup. Direct destination cities stay on-device. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY • No developer account, no sign-up, no advertising, and no analytics. • Credentials for servers you add remain on your device. • Gigoter does not retain browsing history, destination domains, destination IP addresses, or traffic contents on developer-operated services. • Optional packet captures you explicitly start are saved on your device and are never uploaded automatically. SIMPLE BY DEFAULT • One tap to connect or disconnect. • Import ss:// and wg-quick configurations. • A built-in explainer shows how packets travel through the tunnel. Use a Shadowsocks or WireGuard server that you operate or have credentials for, or subscribe to Gigoter Plus for optional managed servers.
