Network engineers and privacy-focused mobile users requiring a tool to analyze device traffic via proxy

About Shadowrocket

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.

DNSGuard is a high-performance, privacy-focused DNS resolver which blocks ads, trackers, phishing sites and malware before they can load. Alongside plain DNS for compatibility, it supports modern encrypted DNS standards such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ). Designed for speed and reliability, DNSGuard routes queries through multiple redundant servers to ensure uptime, even under heavy traffic. It never keeps any logs, making it ideal for privacy-conscious individuals, families, businesses, schools and hosting providers. Setting it up is simple: just point your device or network to DNSGuard and enjoy a cleaner, faster and more secure internet.
