Disclaimer

The scope of this official manual, purchase verification guidance, and responsibilities for using configurations.

This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This disclaimer explains the scope of using the information on this site, following tutorials, and visiting App Store links. Matters concerning app features, purchase terms, and user rights should be understood in light of the app's actual interface, the App Store page, and applicable law.

1. Site content and services

This site provides guidance on verifying the official Shadowrocket app, getting started, importing information you already have, configuring rules, and troubleshooting. Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app for Apple platforms. This manual focuses primarily on iPhone and iPad; check the App Store page for system requirements and compatibility with other Apple devices.

This site does not provide, sell, or recommend servers or subscription services, and is not responsible for operating or maintaining your existing servers or ensuring their connections. Tutorials assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. A one-time purchase of the app is not a service plan: buying the app does not grant server access or change your agreements with service providers.

2. Tutorial accuracy and interface changes

Tutorials are based on the app interface and features that could be verified when they were written. App updates, device type, system settings, and account status may change menu locations, option names, or the order of steps. We make every effort to keep the guidance accurate, but cannot guarantee that every instruction applies in full to every device and situation.

If a tutorial differs from the current interface, check the current screen and what each option does before proceeding. Do not rely on similar names alone. Rule examples explain syntax and are not complete configurations for every network. Results from tests such as Connectivity Test reflect only the conditions at the time of testing and do not guarantee ongoing availability or actual connection speeds.

3. Configuration and information security

Confirm that you have the right to use your existing subscriptions, server details, and configuration files, and follow applicable local laws and the terms of the services you access. Before importing a configuration, understand how it handles traffic. Pay particular attention to how Global Routing, DNS, and rule settings affect request routing.

Before making changes, keep a restorable copy of your configuration and verify the results after each adjustment. If something goes wrong, restore settings known to work. Subscription links, passwords, and connection logs may contain sensitive information; do not share them in full. Connection failures caused by external server status, your local network, or incorrect input cannot be attributed to an app issue based only on a toggle's state. Troubleshoot each factor under the actual conditions.

5. Checking issues and limits of responsibility

If a step does not apply or you have questions about the instructions, first consult the relevant sections in the setup guide and system guide, then check the inputs, permissions, and connection conditions against the interface you see. When contacting the relevant support channel, describe steps that reproduce the issue and remove account credentials and personal information first.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited, or affects rights you have under the law. Revisions to this site's content clarify the guidance and reflect feature changes; they do not guarantee any particular connection outcome. Please also read the Terms of Use for other terms related to using this site.
