What is Shadowrocket?
Shadowrocket is a utility app for iOS and Android that allows you to route your mobile traffic through residential proxy servers with granular control. Unlike basic system settings, Shadowrocket is a rule-based client, meaning you can configure it to route specific apps or websites through a proxy while keeping other traffic on your local network. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols, making it the industry standard for mobile proxy management.
Prerequisites for configuration
Before you start, ensure you have:
- Shadowrocket app installed (available on App Store and Google Play)
- A valid Decodo account
- Your proxy credentials (host, port, username, password)
Step-by-step Shadowrocket setup (iOS)
Step #1. Get your proxy credentials
- Log in to your Decodo dashboard.
- Navigate to Residential and select authentication either by user or via IP whitelisting.
- Choose your target country (e.g. "United States"), session type, and protocol.
- Copy the generated endpoints.
Step #3. Enter connection details
- Host: Paste gate.decodo.com.
- Port: Paste 7000.
- User: Paste your username.
- Password: Paste your password.
- Remarks: Name it (e.g. "Decodo US").
- Tap Save.
Step #4. Connect and verify
- On the home screen, tap the toggle switch next to Not Connected to turn it on.
- (First time only): iOS will ask permission to add VPN Configurations. Tap Allow and enter your passcode.
- Tap Connectivity Test to ping the server.
- Open Safari and visit ip.decodo.com to confirm your location has changed.
(Android Note: The setup is similar, but requires sideloading the Shadowrocket APK or using "Postern" app as an alternative.)
Step-by-step Shadowrocket setup (Android)
To set up residential proxies with Shadowrocket on Android, follow these steps:
- In the app, tap the File icon, choose Type manually, and select Socks.
- Add the name in the Remarks field, enter the host address and port. Then, authenticate using the username and password from the dashboard.
- Tap the checkmark to save your proxy settings and select the paper plane icon to connect to your proxy.

Troubleshooting Shadowrocket connection issues
- "Ping Timeout" or red dot?
Shadowrocket's ping test sometimes fails even if the proxy works. Try opening a browser to verify the actual connection. If it's still down, ensure you selected the correct Protocol (HTTP vs SOCKS5) in the settings.
- App not routing through proxy?
Check your Global Routing settings (Config tab). Ideally, set it to Proxy mode to force all traffic through Decodo, or Config to use specific rules.
- Authentication error?
Re-enter your username/password in the server settings. Ensure there are no leading/trailing spaces.

Frequently asked questions
Is Shadowrocket better than native iOS settings?
Yes. Native iOS settings only proxy HTTP traffic and often fail to route app traffic. Shadowrocket uses the iOS VPN framework to "tunnel" all traffic (including SOCKS5) effectively, ensuring 100% app coverage.
Can I use rotating proxies with Shadowrocket?
Yes. If you configure a rotating session in Decodo, your IP will change automatically with every new request (or periodically). However, for steady browsing, we recommend using sticky sessions (up to 60 mins) to prevent connection drops.
Does Shadowrocket hide my location?
Shadowrocket itself is just a tool. It hides your location only if connected to a high-quality proxy like Decodo's. Once connected, websites see Decodo’s residential IP instead of your mobile carrier IP.
