About this app

Shadowrocket for Android is a network proxy and VPN client designed for users who need a clear, reliable way to connect with built-in nodes and manage their own connection profiles.

With Shadowrocket, you can use built-in nodes, import and manage supported proxy profiles, connect through Android VPN mode, test node availability, organize policy groups, build proxy chains, and keep your configuration backed up.

Key features:

• Built-in nodes
Start quickly with built-in nodes and use node testing to choose a connection that works well in your current network.

• VPN profile management
Import, edit, share and organize your own connection profiles in one place.

• Real node diagnostics
Run browser-based website checks, real connection delay tests, DNS suggestions and customizable diagnostic targets.

• Policy groups
Create smart groups that select from existing nodes based on your rules.

• Proxy chains
Combine multiple supported nodes into ordered connection chains for advanced routing setups.

• Modern protocol support
Supports commonly used proxy protocols and advanced capabilities such as Hysteria2 and Xray TUN.

• DNS and VPN options
Tune VPN DNS, local DNS, FakeDNS, IPv6, TUN and routing preferences for different network environments.

• WebDAV backup
Back up and restore your app configuration through WebDAV to make migration easier.

• Clean Android experience
A focused interface for connection, testing, sorting, searching and managing nodes.

Important:
Built-in nodes are provided as optional connection resources, and availability or performance may vary by network conditions, server load and region. You can also use profiles and network services that you own, trust, or are authorized to use.

It works well but it's just too slow to open. If you have to turn on/off VPN multiple times a day, I'd suggest to look for another app. For me it takes 10 seconds to open while it's "Optimizing nodes for you". So I may have to open the app 12 times a day, so I lose 2 min every day, or 1 hour a month waiting for this app to open. It's so annoying. The iPhone version does not do this.

Sorry the startup optimization takes too long. Please update to the latest version; we are working to reduce repeated loading. If it still takes around 10 seconds, send a recording through in-app feedback so we can follow up.

Bought and paid for subscription. still does not work properly. Ads are still being shown and there is no premium server, it's the same as the free servers. don't pay for the service. also no way to create an account on this app. google should watch for such scams.
