Disclaimer
This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This disclaimer sets out the scope of the tutorials, purchase guidance, and examples on this site. Please read it before making a purchase, importing a configuration, or changing connection settings. This disclaimer and the Terms of Use together explain how to use the content on this site.
1. Official Manual and Scope
This site covers how to verify the official app, install Shadowrocket, import existing subscriptions, configure rule-based routing, and troubleshoot connections. Shadowrocket is a paid, closed-source app for Apple platforms, with instructions focused primarily on iPhone and iPad. The App Store is the only place to purchase and install it. Check the App Store listing for device compatibility and system requirements.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions, and does not arrange server setup, maintain connections, or guarantee connection quality. Instructions involving Subscribe or Add Server assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. The app is a one-time purchase; it does not include a service plan or the services needed to connect.
2. Accuracy and Interface Changes
Tutorials are based on the app interface and App Store information that could be verified when they were written. As the app changes, menu locations, field names, options, and step order may differ. The instructions may not exactly match what appears on every device. If something looks different, check the current interface and App Store listing before proceeding; avoid repeatedly changing settings based only on older steps.
Rule snippets and configuration examples explain syntax and how settings relate to one another; they are not complete configurations for every network environment. Connectivity Test results reflect only the conditions of that test and do not guarantee that every request will succeed. If a parameter is unclear, keep the existing configuration and verify settings one at a time. Changing several settings at once can make the cause of a problem difficult to identify.
3. User Actions and Information Security
You are responsible for ensuring that you are authorized to use any imported subscription, server, or configuration, and for complying with applicable laws and service terms. Use valid details from your existing service for addresses, ports, authentication, transport, and TLS settings. Examples on this site cannot replace those details and do not assess the availability or compliance of any related service.
Before updating a subscription, deleting a server, or replacing a configuration, check what will be affected and save any necessary backup. Subscription URLs, passwords, and QR codes may contain access credentials and should not be shared publicly. Problems caused by incorrect settings, accidental deletion, exposed credentials, or an external service outage must be addressed based on their specific cause. The tutorials do not guarantee data recovery or compensation for lost connectivity.
4. App Store Purchases and External Links
Before purchasing, verify the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, the official app icon, and app ID 932747118. The App Store listing and information shown at checkout determine the price, payment terms, purchase eligibility, restore-purchase options, and refund process. Pricing information on this site is not a fixed quote and does not replace the purchase confirmation screen.
The App Store product page linked on this site can be used to verify and purchase the official app. After you follow the link, page availability, displayed content, and transaction processing are handled by the relevant platform and may vary by storefront or account status. This site cannot process payments, review refund requests, or guarantee that an external page will remain available.
5. Limits of Responsibility and Further Information
This disclaimer clarifies responsibility for documentation and user actions. It does not exclude or limit liability that cannot be waived under applicable law, or affect rights you have under that law. Specific disputes should be assessed based on the facts, transaction records, applicable law, and relevant terms. Tutorial content should not be understood as a guarantee of any particular outcome.
If you have questions about the steps, start with Getting Started for setup and troubleshooting guidance. For subscription updates, server deletion, and backups, see Server Management. When investigating an issue, note where it occurred and what happened, hide any authentication details, and then determine whether it relates to an interface difference, configuration, or an external service.
