Shadowrocket is a network tool for users who need to manage supported network connections, select protocols, and monitor connection performance. The app supports Trojan, Vmess, VLESS, Socks, and Shadowsocks, giving users several connection methods to configure according to their setup.
Choosing a protocol for a network connection
When a connection requires a particular supported method, Shadowrocket provides access to multiple protocols in one app. The listed options include Trojan, Vmess, VLESS, Socks, and Shadowsocks. This makes the protocol selection part of the app’s configuration rather than limiting users to a single connection type.
Controlling which traffic uses a route
Custom routing rules are useful when different websites or applications need different connection treatment. Shadowrocket allows users to create rules that prioritize or exclude specific websites or apps. These controls let users adjust how selected traffic is handled and tailor the routing configuration to their needs.
Checking connections and changing nodes
The app can automatically test nodes for successful connections. When several nodes are available, this check helps users identify connection results and switch between nodes. Shadowrocket also supports custom servers as well as access to a pool of global servers, so users can choose between their own server arrangements and the server options available through the app.
Watching current network speed
For users who want ongoing connection information, Shadowrocket places a real-time internet speed monitor in the notification bar. It shows current upload and download speeds, allowing users to check network performance while using the device and decide whether further connection adjustments are needed.
Managing subscription renewal
The source describes automatic subscription renewal as another available function, intended to handle renewal for access to the app’s premium features without requiring manual renewal each time. This is separate from the routing, protocol, and monitoring controls used to manage connections.
