SSH Tunnel: VPN & SOCKS5 proxy

SSH Tunnel routes device traffic through a user-provided SSH server using VPN or local proxy modes.

Our take

Choose it when you administer or trust the destination server

Background system routing, host-key verification and multiple authentication methods suit a deliberate self-hosted setup.

Keep in mind: It supplies no server or anonymity guarantee; the VPN and proxy engines have different traffic-routing scope.

What you can do

  • System VPN and local SOCKS5 engines
  • Dynamic and local forwarding
  • Key password and interactive authentication with connection logs

Good for

  • Users who understand their SSH server and routing requirements

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting a ready-made commercial VPN endpoint or automatic trust in an unknown server

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • It supplies no server or anonymity guarantee; the VPN and proxy engines have different traffic-routing scope.

Privacy & permissions

The developer says it operates no traffic servers; the selected SSH host, stored keys and exported connections remain sensitive.
