About

WireRoute

Features
Read full description

WireRoute is a focused WireGuard client for iPhone that makes everyday routing choices clear. Use your existing WireGuard configuration, import a profile from a file or QR code, or create one from scratch. Each profile can switch between Split Tunnel and Full Tunnel routing without maintaining duplicate configurations. Highlights: - Standard WireGuard protocol - Split Tunnel for selected networks - Full Tunnel for all supported traffic - Unsupported address-family blocking in Full Tunnel mode - Profile import from a file, archive, or QR code - On-demand activation options - Configuration export and diagnostic logs WireRoute does not provide a VPN subscription or server. You need access to a compatible WireGuard endpoint and a valid configuration.

Read full description

Lyra is a lightweight client for connecting to servers you already have. Paste a vless:// key or a subscription link from your own server or panel (3x-ui, Marzban, Remnawave, Hiddify and others), and Lyra will list your servers, measure how fast each one responds and connect to the best one. WHAT IT DOES • Imports keys by paste, QR code or file • Subscriptions with automatic updates • Speed test for every server, automatic choice of the fastest • One-tap connect, auto-reconnect when the network changes • Routing modes: everything through the server, or smart mode with your own direct list • DNS of your choice, IPv6 and QUIC controls • Works on iPhone and iPad WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • Lyra does not provide any servers, accounts or subscriptions • Lyra does not collect, store or transmit your data anywhere except to the servers you add yourself • There are no purchases inside the app Lyra is built on the open-source Xray core and supports the VLESS protocol with Reality, TLS, XHTTP, WebSocket and gRPC. You are responsible for the servers you connect to and for complying with the laws that apply to you.
