This is the Shadowrocket official site and guide, with setup instructions for all platforms, steps for using existing configurations, and troubleshooting guidance. This disclaimer explains the scope and limits of responsibility for site content. When purchasing, installing, or changing network settings, also read the relevant instructions on the applicable page.
1. Scope and conditions of use
This documentation explains Shadowrocket features and how to use them; it does not guarantee availability on any particular device, network, or remote service. Rule examples illustrate syntax only. Before using them, check the matching conditions, policies, and rule order for your needs. Do not assume that all requests will be handled as expected simply by applying an example.
You are responsible for complying with applicable local laws and the requirements of the networks you use, as well as for any configurations, server details, and access activity you import or provide. Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, or affects rights you have under that law.
2. Tutorial accuracy and interface changes
Tutorials describe the interface and features that could be verified when they were written. Interface labels such as Home, Config, and Global Routing remain in English. Changes to the app version, operating system, device layout, or permission state may alter menu locations, option names, and step order. Follow what is currently shown in the app.
We make reasonable efforts to correct documentation errors, but cannot guarantee that every instruction will always cover every environment. Save a restorable copy before changing a configuration. When troubleshooting, change one setting at a time and check the result. If the documentation does not match the interface, compare the tutorial with the troubleshooting guide to confirm the conditions before proceeding and avoid making the problem worse with repeated changes.
3. Nodes, subscriptions, and remote services
This site provides client documentation only and does not provide, sell, or recommend connection services. Import instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details. Obtain them from your service provider. Example domains and settings do not represent connectable services.
A one-time app purchase does not include a service plan. The iPhone / iPad version costs $2.99 once on the App Store; the Mac / Windows / Android / Linux versions are free. Getting the app does not include access to remote services. Subscription terms, connection quality, data limits, and remote data handling are determined by the relevant service. A successful app connection does not guarantee that every remote service is available.
4. Purchase channels and installation prompts
Get the iPhone / iPad version from the App Store product page. The US store price is a one-time $2.99 charge; check the App Store page for current pricing and purchase details. The Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store page for iPhone / iPad system requirements. Payments, refunds, and restoration of previous purchases are handled under the store’s applicable policies.
Installers for other platforms are available only at /dl/shadowrocket/ on this site; see the all-platform downloads page. Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so your system may block the first installation or launch. Verify the source, platform, and file before following the installation guidance. Allow installation only for an installer you have verified; do not disable your system’s overall security protections.
5. External links and limits of responsibility
The external link on this site points to the specified App Store product page. Once there, the store is responsible for its listings, account handling, payments, and privacy policies, which may vary by account region and change over time. The link is provided to help you verify and obtain the app; it does not mean this site can control the store’s page content, transaction outcomes, or continued availability.
Network interruptions, remote service issues, changes to system permissions, or incorrect configurations may affect use. If a problem occurs, stop the relevant operation and follow the troubleshooting steps to identify the cause. Do not share subscription links, passwords, or logs containing credentials publicly. If you have questions about whether these instructions apply, check the steps in the tutorial. Matters not covered by this disclaimer are governed by applicable law and the relevant service terms.
