About

Kestrel is a cross-platform web server for ASP.NET Core. Kestrel is the web server that's included and enabled by default in ASP.NET Core project templates. Kestrel supports HTTPS, HTTP/2 (except on macOS), Opaque upgrade used to enable WebSockets, Unix sockets for high performance behind Nginx. Kestrel is supported on all platforms and versions that .NET Core supports. Some browsers require granting explicit permission to trust the local development certificate. Project templates configure apps to run on HTTPS by default and include HTTPS redirection and HSTS support. The Kestrel web server has constraint configuration options that are especially useful in Internet-facing deployments. There's a separate limit for connections that have been upgraded from HTTP or HTTPS to another protocol (for example, on a WebSockets request). The default maximum request body size is 30,000,000 bytes, which is approximately 28.6 MB.

About

Shadowrocket is a rule-based proxy utility that captures all HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, and TCP traffic from any app and redirects it to a proxy server, then records and displays each request for detailed inspection. Users define rules by domain match, suffix, keyword, CIDR IP range, or GeoIP lookup, import configurations via URL or iCloud Drive, and measure usage and speed across Wi-Fi, cellular, direct, and proxy connections. It also blocks ads by domain or user-agent rules, supports local DNS mapping, decrypts HTTPS traffic, rewrites URLs, and fully supports IPv6. Advanced script filters, multi-level forward proxying, and compatibility with kcptun, cloak, gost, and v2ray plugins extend its flexibility, while DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-QUIC ensure secure name resolution. Shadowrocket runs seamlessly on cellular networks and integrates SSH tunneling with UDP gateway support, making it a powerful tool for monitoring, filtering, and optimizing network traffic.
