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 HTTP and go back to the previous screen.
2. Enter proxy and authentication information.
Residential Proxies:
Address: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
Shared Datacenter Proxies:
Address: dc.pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 10000
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies:
Make sure you’re using the correct protocol within the Type field. According to your purchase, choose HTTP or SOCKS5.
Address: a specific IP address
Port: 60000
In the case of Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Please refer to our documentation for more details.
No matter the proxy type, don’t forget to type in your credentials under User and Password. And do not forget to add customer- before your given username. 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.
