How to Use Shadowrocket: Set Up a Proxy on iPhone

What you need

Shadowrocket is a third-party proxy app for iPhone, sold on the App Store. You also need a Proxy302 asset: rotating residential, static residential or datacenter. All three work in Shadowrocket over HTTP or SOCKS5.

Proxy302 also has its own mobile app under Tools & checks > Mobile app. This guide covers Shadowrocket.

Using Clash on a computer too

Shadowrocket takes the same address, port, username and password as any other client. If you also run Clash on a computer, the Clash page for Proxy302 explains which line to write as the node and which port goes with it.

• Clash and Proxy302: which line to pick

What goes in each box

In My assets, Copy copies the whole line host:port:username:password so you can read each part from it. Copy for AI hands the same details to your AI assistant instead.

Add a proxy in Shadowrocket

1. Get the details

   In the console open My assets, find the proxy and press Copy, or open its details. Keep host, port, username and password at hand.

2. Add a node

   Open Shadowrocket and tap + at the top right.

3. Fill in the box

   Choose the type that matches the asset, then fill in address, port, username and password as in the table above. Tap Done to save.

   Expected result The new node appears in the list.

4. Switch it on

   Select the node and turn on the connection switch at the top. If iOS asks to add a VPN configuration, allow it.

   Expected result The switch is on and the VPN icon shows in the status bar.

5. Check the exit IP

   Open Safari, visit ipinfo.io and compare the IP and country with the proxy you bought.

   Expected result ipinfo.io shows the proxy’s IP and country.

In mainland China

A direct connection to the proxy usually fails from mainland China. A phone cannot use 「一键加速」 (One-click boost), so use the Helper’s manual setup. On a computer, download Helper 2.2 (Tools & checks page) and keep it open. In the Helper window, open the manual setup and tick 「让局域网里的手机、别的电脑也能用」 (let phones and other computers on the network use it); if Windows asks about its firewall, choose Allow access. Put the iPhone on the same Wi-Fi, then in Shadowrocket enter the LAN address shown in the Helper window and the port for your entry (see the Helper guide). Keep the type, username and password the same as the asset.
