Frequently Asked Questions

Bot Connector is a privacy tunnelling client for iOS built on sing-box. It encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server you control, using modern open protocols.

No. Bot Connector has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no cloud backend. You supply your own server configuration via a share-link or subscription URL.

VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria, Hysteria 2, TUIC, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, Mieru, NaiveProxy, ShadowTLS, and AnyTLS — over TCP, WebSocket, HTTPUpgrade, XHTTP, gRPC or QUIC transports. All powered by the sing-box core.

Yes, minimally and anonymously. The app uses Yandex AppMetrica to count installs, sessions, and crashes so we can fix bugs and understand usage scale. No personal identifiers, account data, or browsing activity is collected. The Site uses cookieless analytics (Plausible or Umami) for aggregate visit counts. Apple App Store Connect provides aggregate install statistics. Your tunnel traffic is never collected. It stays between your device and the server you configure. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

A subscription URL is a link that provides one or more server configurations in a standard format. The app periodically fetches updated configurations from the URL automatically.

FakeDNS is a technique that intercepts DNS queries at the OS level and resolves them inside the tunnel, preventing DNS leaks. Bot Connector enables FakeDNS by default when the tunnel is active.

Tap the + button on the Servers screen. You can paste a share-link URL directly, import a subscription URL, or enter server details manually.

Yes. Bot Connector runs on the sing-box-extended fork (shtorm-7), which adds the XHTTP transport plus Mieru, NaiveProxy, AmneziaWG, ShadowTLS and DNSCrypt on top of the upstream sing-box core. VLESS, VMess and Trojan can run over XHTTP, HTTPUpgrade, WebSocket, gRPC or QUIC.
