Outdated
- System-wide VPN via a NetworkExtension packet tunnel — no per-app configuration required.
- UDP relay (QUIC/HTTP3 reliability depends on the outbound proxy and may fall back to TCP).
- Rule-based routing with domain, IP, GeoIP, and GeoSITE rules, plus CN-IP TCP bypass for split routing.
- DNS over HTTPS.
- Clash-style YAML subscriptions with profile switching, per-app proxy group selection, and latency testing.
- Live traffic throughput monitoring and per-day usage charts.
- Runs fully on-device with no data collection. Requires iOS 17+; distributed via TestFlight.
