How to Use Shadow Rocket to configure a proxy server?

This article explains the core functions and configuration methods of the iOS proxy tool Shadow Rocket, and introduces how IP2world's proxy service can work seamlessly with it to improve network performance.

What is Shadow Rocket?

Shadow Rocket is a network proxy tool focused on iOS devices. It supports multiple protocols such as HTTP, Socks5, Shadowsocks, etc., and is used to achieve traffic encryption, IP anonymization, and access to geographically restricted content. Its lightweight design and intuitive interface make it one of the preferred tools for mobile users. Products such as S5 proxy and static ISP proxy provided by IP2world are directly compatible with Shadow Rocket, providing users with stable proxy resources.

How to install and configure?

Download and installation: Get the Shadow Rocket installation package through unofficial channels (such as TestFlight or third-party stores). After installation, you need to trust the developer certificate.

Add a proxy server:

Enter the main interface of the application, click the "+" sign in the upper right corner, and select the proxy type (such as Socks5).

Enter the proxy server address, port, username and password provided by IP2world.

Enable global/application-specific proxy: Select a global proxy based on your needs, or enable a proxy only for specific applications (such as browsers).

IP2world's S5 proxy supports one-click generation of configuration files, which users can directly import into Shadow Rocket to simplify the configuration process.

How to choose a proxy server type?

The proxy protocol supported by Shadow Rocket must match the server type:

S5 proxy: Suitable for scenarios that require low latency and high anonymity (such as game acceleration). IP2world's S5 proxy provides exclusive bandwidth to avoid IP being blocked due to being shared by multiple people.

Static ISP proxy: suitable for long-term fixed IP needs (such as overseas e-commerce account operations). IP2world's static proxy IP comes from real broadband users, reducing the risk of being marked by the target platform.

Dynamic residential proxy: used for tasks that require frequent IP changes (such as data collection). IP2world's dynamic IP pool covers 195 countries around the world and supports on-demand switching or automatic rotation.

How to optimize Shadow Rocket performance?

Protocol selection: Socks5 protocol is preferred (encryption is better than HTTP). IP2world's proxy service supports Socks5 by default and no additional certificate is required.

Diversion rules: By editing the configuration file, you can connect domestic traffic directly and use a proxy for overseas traffic to reduce bandwidth waste. IP2world provides IP resources with precise geolocation to ensure the effective implementation of diversion rules.

Connection stability: Enable the "Smart Routing" function, and automatically switch to the backup node when the current proxy node has too high latency. The average latency of IP2world's proxy server is less than 200ms, ensuring a smooth experience.

How does IP2world support Shadow Rocket?

Although IP2world is not an official partner of Shadow Rocket, its proxy service is designed to fully adapt to the tool:

Protocol compatibility: Fully supports the Socks5/HTTP protocol required by Shadow Rocket, and provides standardized port configuration.

IP purity: Dynamic residential proxy IP comes from a real home network to avoid being identified as proxy traffic by iOS apps.

Multi-scenario solutions: For example, when users use IP2world static ISP proxy with Shadow Rocket to manage TikTok accounts, they can simulate local user behavior and circumvent the platform's risk control mechanism.

As a professional proxy IP service provider, IP2world provides a variety of high-quality proxy IP products, including dynamic residential proxy, static ISP proxy, exclusive data center proxy, S5 proxy and unlimited servers, suitable for a variety of application scenarios.
