How to install Stealth Proxies on iOS

1. Important notes

The main goal of Stealth Proxies is to bypass DPI. The stability and speeds might not be the same as on our VPN servers. Available locations are not permanent and might be removed or replaced at any time, because our IP ranges get blocked.

We don't recommend using Stealth Proxies if you can use WireGuard, AmneziaWG or OpenVPN. Please be aware that none of the protocols or clients we mention in this guide have undergone security auditing.

Notice that some of the clients might use 3rd party DNS by default or have DNS leaks.

2. Which location to use?

We have dedicated blog post on how to select correct location and how naming of the Stealth Proxy servers works.

3. Which protocol to use?

It all depends from which country you are connecting. To simplify things you can find availability of each protocol at the bottom of status page.
