Step-by-step proxy setup in Shadowrocket
Open the application and click on the “+” icon in the top panel.
Choose “Type manually” and select the desired protocol, such as Socks.
In the new window, provide the profile name, then enter the IP address and Socks5 port. If using a private proxy server, fill in the authorization data. Once all information is entered, click the confirmation icon in the upper right corner.
To enable the proxy connection, tap on the icon at the bottom of the screen.
Additionally, the application allows for the organization of proxy servers into groups, which simplifies their identification and switching:
Open the side menu on the main page and select “Groups”.
Tap the add button in the upper right corner and choose “Add Group”.
Name the group and confirm its creation.
After creating the group, return to the main page and swipe down to open a menu with the created groups. Select the new group, then add a new proxy to it following the steps provided above.
This feature is particularly beneficial when managing multiple accounts on gaming platforms, social networks, and other online resources.
A distinctive feature of Shadowrocket is its ability to selectively apply proxy settings to specific apps on the device. It can be configured in the settings menu, where users can choose to enable proxy services for all applications or select them individually, tailoring the proxy usage to their specific needs and preferences.
