Shadowrocket setup with proxies
1. Add server.
To use our proxies with Shadowrocket, first, open the Shadowrocket application and then click on Add Server.
In the following window, click on Type.
Choose a Type (read on for details on proxy types) and go back to the previous screen.
2. Enter proxy and authentication information.
Residential and Mobile Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Address: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
You can also use country-specific entries. For example, entering us-pr.oxylabs.io under Proxy IP and 10000 under Proxy port will acquire a US exit node. Please refer to our documentation for a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session.
Datacenter Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Address: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For the Pay-per-IP subscription, the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the given list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. For more details, check our documentation.
For the Pay-per-traffic subscription, port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. You can also specify geo-location, for example, the US, within the user authentication string: user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD. Check our documentation for more details.
Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Type: HTTP or SOCKS5
Address: a specific IP address (e.g., 1.2.3.4)
Port: 60000
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Visit our documentation for more details.
Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Address: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list. Check our documentation for more details.
ISP Proxies
Type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Address: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
No matter the proxy type, don’t forget to type in your Oxylabs proxy user's credentials under User and Password. Once you are done, go back to the previous screen by pressing the back arrow.
NOTE: For additional Oxylabs proxy customization options – such as country-specific entry points – refer to Shared Datacenter and Residential Proxies documentations, respectively.
3. Turn on the proxy.
After filling out the proxy details, you will be able to turn on the proxy. To do that, activate a toggle under Not Connected.
If that is your first time using Shadowrocket, you will get an iOS prompt to add Shadowrocket to your VPN configurations and then install the VPN profile. Click Add and then OK. You will need to enter your iPhone passcode to confirm.
And that is it. The toggle at the top of the app should now be activated.
4. Test your proxy.
You can easily test if the proxy is working by visiting ip.oxylabs.io.
