How to Use IOS Shadowrocket

Software Installation

The client used by IOS is called Shadowrocket, priced at $2.99 USD. However, it is not available in the Chinese App Store. If you want to purchase it, you will need a US Apple ID and a $3 USD recharge card, both of which can be found on Taobao. Luckily, if you search for “小火箭” (Little Rocket) on Taobao, you may find a store that offers a one-time download (the store will lend you the Apple ID, you can log out after downloading the software).
