Shadowrocket for iPhone: what it is and when to pay for it

Shadowrocket is a client, not a service. It reads a key from someone else, and it is one of several ways to do that on an iPhone.

Short answer

Shadowrocket is a paid app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV that connects to proxy servers using a key or a server list. As of 2026-10-18 the US App Store listing shows a one-time price of $2.99. It does not sell a VPN: you bring a key from a service, and the app turns it into a system connection.

So when someone says shadowrocket VPN, they mean a client plus a key from elsewhere. It does the same job as the free clients Streisand and V2Box.

What the app is known for

▸Rules: a detailed set of routing rules that decides which sites go through the tunnel and which go direct.
▸Several protocols in one app, with VLESS appearing in the listing's version notes.
▸Import by QR, clipboard or link, so a vless:// line from a bot works as the first step.
▸Support for DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS and DNS over QUIC, as the listing states.

Paid or free: how to choose

For most people a free client is enough. Streisand and V2Box read a BSR key, and each costs nothing to try. A paid client makes sense if you want fine rules, such as sending only some apps or domains through the tunnel, and you are happy to pay for a tool that stays in the store. The App Store listing for each client shows its price and what it supports. Read it before buying.

Check Reality support before paying

BSR keys use VLESS over Reality. The listing mentions VLESS in its release notes but does not describe Reality, so look at the current release notes in the app listing, or try a free client first and move across only if you need the rules. Availability also depends on your App Store region.

Using a BSR key in Shadowrocket

1Ask @bsr_key_bot in Telegram for the free trial of ten days; no card or account is requested.
2Copy the vless:// line from the bot.
3Open Shadowrocket. It usually offers to add the server from the clipboard; confirm.
4Allow the VPN configuration when iOS asks, with Face ID or the passcode.
5Pick the server entry and switch the connection on, then run an IP check in Safari.

No tie to the publisher

BSR sells a key and has no relation to this app's publisher. This page does not rank clients, and it states only what the App Store listing says about the app.

Our editors had an AI model draft this part, then compared it with the store listing quoted above. Features and price can change with each release, so read the current listing before you buy.

A free client is a fair place to begin, and the Install section lists the free options for every device.

Account statement

Every balance on this statement is zero

There is no account here, so there is nothing to attach a log to. You never give us an email, a phone number or a name. The bot knows a Telegram chat, a key and an expiry date, and that is the whole record. We say that plainly instead of pretending to be beyond every jurisdiction.

Notes to the statement

Questions people ask before the first key

Is Shadowrocket a VPN service?

No. It is a client. The service, and the servers, come from the key you put in.

Does a BSR key work in it?

The key is a standard vless:// line. Check the client's release notes for Reality support, as noted above.

Is a free client enough on iPhone?

For the ten day trial and most daily use, yes. Neither Streisand nor V2Box has a price tag, so try one of them first.

Can I buy it once for iPhone and Mac?

The listing mentions both platforms. Check the page for whether one purchase covers them in your region.

Does it need jailbreaking?

No. It uses the standard iOS VPN permission and asks for your confirmation.

Where do I get support for the app?

From the publisher through its listing. For the key and its limits, the Telegram bot is the contact.

Still unsure?

Support and your key live in the same Telegram bot. The setup page shows which client to install.
