Read full description

SmokeTunnel for iOS is a client implementation of the Smoke Tunnel protocol. It gives developers, administrators and authorized users a focused way to add a configuration and connect to a compatible Smoke Tunnel server deployed independently by them or their organization. SmokeTunnel is not a subscription or connectivity provider. It does not operate a public server network, issue accounts, sell access, provide a server directory or automatically connect to any commercial provider. • Add or import a server configuration • Set the hostname, port and TCP transport • Configure TLS Server Name (SNI) and proxy-routing options • Set DNS and tunnel-interface values • Enable Connect on Demand where supported • Connect directly to the server you selected • Review, copy and clear temporary on-device session diagnostics The client is an implementation of the protocol rather than a hosted connectivity service.
