Xray Shadowrocket

August 3, 2023

This is a brief overview of how to configure Xray on a server and on the Shadowrocket GUI for iPad and iPhone.

Xray server

Install Xray-core on your server using the latest beta, and configure it to run as root:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-install/raw/main/install-release.sh)" @ install --beta -u root

Example of a completed server configuration file /usr/local/etc/xray/config.json:

{
    "log": {
        "loglevel": "warning"
    },
    "routing": {
        "domainStrategy": "IPIfNonMatch",
        "rules": [
            {
                "type": "field",
                "ip": [
                    "geoip:cn",
                    "geoip:private"
                ],
                "outboundTag": "block"
            }
        ]
    },
    "inbounds": [
        {
            "listen": "0.0.0.0",
            "port": 443,
            "protocol": "vless",
            "settings": {
                "clients": [
                    {
                        "id": "3b5390c5-52a2-472d-8dc2-103ef508be6c",
                        "flow": ""
                    }
                ],
                "decryption": "none"
            },
            "streamSettings": {
                "network": "h2",
                "security": "reality",
                "realitySettings": {
                    "show": false,
                    "dest": "www.lovelive-anime.jp:443",
                    "xver": 0,
                    "serverNames": [ 
                        "www.lovelive-anime.jp"
                    ],
                    "privateKey": "QNraK6EdxPNOzfbL2G1BTl_OeMSxm49H5vps2qzQ3E0",
                    "shortIds": [ 
                        "77c2358dc476ae9e"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "outbounds": [
        {
            "protocol": "freedom",
            "tag": "direct"
        },
        {
            "protocol": "blackhole",
            "tag": "block"
        }
    ]
}

Restart xray systemd service with your final configuration file:

systemctl restart xray

systemctl status xray

Shadowrocket GUI

There are four main pages in the Shadowrocket graphical user interface:

• Home. Here you can scan a QR code or manually key in a server (Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, Subscription, Vmess, VLESS, GOST Relay, Socks5, Socks5 over TLS, HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP2, Trojan, Hysteria, TUIC, WireGuard, Snell, Brook, or Lua). The main Connect toggle switch (ON/OFF) is on this page. You can specify a Global Routing strategy (based on the configuration, always proxy, always direct, or scene). There is also a Connectivity Test. The remainder of this page is a list of your servers.
• Config. Here you configure Shadowrocket (general, rules, hosts, URL rewrite, HTTPS decryption, script, and proxy group).
• Data. Here is where you will find statistics and logs. You can also export and import configurations.
• Settings. The languages available are English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese. Here you can set things like test method, on demand rules, proxy port, and many other settings.

Here is an example of a completed client configuration:

To route all traffic through the proxy server, specify a Global Routing setting of Proxy.
