Shadowrocket — iPhone / iPad Setup
Follow these steps to import your NEXA configuration into Shadowrocket and connect. If you have an active NEXA VPN subscription and need a NEXA shared Apple ID to download the app, contact NEXA customer support to request the account.
- 1
Download Shadowrocket
Use the App Store download button to install Shadowrocket on your device.
Do not add your own phone number or enable two-factor authentication on the shared NEXA account. If you already have Shadowrocket installed, skip this step.
- 2
Copy your NEXA configuration
Copy the configuration/subscription link provided by NEXA.
- 3
Import the configuration
Open Shadowrocket and tap + → Type: Subscribe → paste your NEXA configuration link.
Alternatively, use Shadowrocket's QR scanner to scan the NEXA QR code.
Save the subscription. The available server/node list should then load.
- 4
Connect
Return to the Shadowrocket home screen and turn the connection switch ON.
If iOS asks for VPN permission, tap Allow.
- 5
Enable auto-update
Go to Settings → Subscribe and enable Update on Open and Auto Background Update.
This allows Shadowrocket to refresh your NEXA configuration automatically.
- 6
Routing mode
The recommended general option is Config, which uses split routing so domestic traffic connects directly while international traffic uses the proxy.
Proxy: all traffic uses the proxy. Direct: traffic does not use the proxy. Scene: advanced automatic routing behavior.
Troubleshooting
- •Configuration does not import: re-copy the link or scan the QR code again.
- •Cannot connect: try another NEXA server/node and refresh the configuration.
