Terms of Use

1. Website Scope and Applicability

The Shadowrocket Manual is the official website and guide for Shadowrocket, with platform availability instructions, setup guides, and troubleshooting resources. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscription services. Instructions involving imports assume that you already have your own subscription or server details.

Accessing this site's content does not create an agreement for proxy services or grant access to any server. Use of the app is also subject to applicable software license terms and platform transaction rules. These terms do not replace App Store purchase, payment, or refund policies, or limit rights provided by law.

2. App Availability and Pricing

Get the iPhone / iPad version from the App Store product page. The US storefront price is a one-time $2.99 purchase; the price shown on the store page at checkout applies. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. For iPhone / iPad system requirements, refer to the App Store page.

Installers for other platforms are available only from this site at /dl/shadowrocket/. Choose the appropriate version in the download guide. If your device blocks the app when you first open it, check the file source and your device version: on macOS, select “Open Anyway” in “Privacy & Security”; in Windows SmartScreen, select “More info” before deciding whether to select “Run anyway”; on Android, follow the prompt to allow apps from the current download source. See installation instructions for details, and do not ignore warnings about unknown sources.

A one-time app purchase is not a service subscription. The app price does not include server access, subscriptions, or communication services. Any fees or service issues between you and your provider are governed by your agreement with them.

3. Acceptable Use and User Responsibilities

You must comply with the laws, regulations, network policies, and service agreements that apply where you are and to your activities. Do not use Shadowrocket or materials on this site for unlawful purposes, or to access systems without authorization, obtain data without permission, carry out attacks or fraud, or infringe others’ rights.

Before importing a configuration, confirm that you are authorized to use it and understand the roles of servers, DNS, and rules. Keep subscription URLs, passwords, and access credentials secure; do not disclose them in public feedback. Back up relevant settings before changing network configurations. If you are unsure about a source, permission, or intended use, stop and verify before proceeding.

4. Provided “As Is” and Limitation of Liability

The app and guide are provided “as is.” Device environment, system permissions, network conditions, configuration contents, and external server status can all affect results. Instructions may also differ as system or app interfaces change. This site does not guarantee continuous availability, specific connection results, or compatibility with every environment.

To the extent permitted by law, this site is not liable for service interruptions, data loss, or indirect losses resulting from using or being unable to use the website, app, or guide. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. For connection issues, see the FAQ; for setup steps, see the quick start guide. Troubleshooting guidance does not guarantee a particular result.

5. Intellectual Property and Changes to These Terms

Shadowrocket is proprietary commercial software. Its trademarks, application, official icon, and related rights belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or their respective rights holders. Website text and layout are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Reading the guide does not grant permission to copy or distribute the app, modify its branding, or use its trademarks for commercial purposes.

We may revise these terms as app availability, website features, or legal requirements change. Updates and the month of revision will be posted on this page. Revised terms apply to relevant use after publication and do not retroactively diminish rights already acquired under applicable law. If you have questions about a specific procedure, consult the FAQ or tutorials. If you do not accept the applicable terms, stop using the relevant services.
