User Reviews and Ratings
★★★☆☆Needs background app refresh
Works great but would appreciate if you could update it to work with background app refresh so you can connect to the forwarded port in other apps
★★★☆☆App does exactly what I need
The bad thing about it is we have gone from the annoying message to enable location services to now being prompted EVERYTIME I close the app whether I like it or not. After answering yes multiple times and still being prompted I now say NO because this is very annoying.
★★★★★Only real usable tunneling app for iOS
I’ve tried others, but with iOS 14 blocking background tasks, they’re unusable. This app would be much better if one could use Safari for the tunnel without needing to run both in split view, but the developer’s addition of a built-in browser makes this only a minor grievance and is a good workaround for Apple’s restrictions.
Only requests: allow for multiple simultaneous tunnels at once and an option to have tabs in the built-in browser.
★★★★★Needs update for iOS 16!!
Dear developer;
Please update this app for iOS 16, otherwise we can not use it on iPhone with iOS 16.
I would like to use it in iPhone, to totally send all traffic through ssh tunnel. But this is not possible now.
Hope you update the app, and resolve problems in iOS 16.
Best regards.
★★★☆☆Concept is good and works but…
due to apple restrictions it can’t run in background. If you switch to another app it will close the connection within 30 seconds. Thus making it useless if you want to use the tunnel for other apps. Makes me wonder why configure the wi-fi proxy at all if you can only use the built in-browser. I gave it 3 stars not because the app is not what i need but because I wish there was a note indicating the Apple restrictions and the fact it close the connection within 30 seconds. That would have bee
