Shadowrocket for Android is an Android VPN and proxy client that supports protocols like Shadowsocks, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, and Hysteria2, with node import via QR code, clipboard, files, or remote subscription lists. The associated Pawdroid/Free-servers repository publishes free shared proxy node subscription links (updated every 6 hours) for use with such clients.

Use cases

• circumvent internet censorship on android
• import free ss/v2ray/trojan nodes into a proxy client
• test proxy node latency and pick the fastest server
• configure hysteria2 or xray tun on android
• back up vpn proxy settings with webdav
• set up proxy chains and policy groups on android

When to choose

• you need a free android proxy client supporting multiple protocols like trojan, vmess, and hysteria2
• you want regularly updated free shared node subscriptions
• you need advanced features like proxy chains, FakeDNS, Mux, or Xray TUN on android

When to avoid

• you need a legally vetted, audited VPN with guaranteed privacy - free shared nodes carry trust and logging risks
• you need an iOS client (the original Shadowrocket is iOS-only)
• you require a license or commercial support
• you need a desktop or cross-platform proxy client
