Been building this for a while and it's finally on TestFlight — **NetBridge**, a SOCKS5/HTTP proxy app for iOS and iPadOS that works two ways:
**Server mode:** your iPhone or iPad becomes a local proxy server. Any other device on the same network — Wi-Fi, **Personal Hotspot**, or USB — can route its traffic through your phone. Supports both HTTP CONNECT and full SOCKS5 (TCP + UDP ASSOCIATE, per RFC 1928), with an auto-detect mode so you don't have to configure clients differently.
**Client mode:** flip it around and have your phone route *its own* traffic out through a remote SOCKS5 server, via a real system-level VPN tunnel (NEPacketTunnelProvider). This is the part I'm most excited about — it means you can stack it with your existing VPN setup rather than choosing one or the other. (Bypass DPI)
Some other stuff packed in:
– Per-device bandwidth caps and a block list
– DNS-over-HTTPS resolver
– Live usage graph + recent-connections history with per-device stats
– Save/switch between multiple config profiles
– QR-code pairing — scan a code to configure a client device in seconds
– Auto-restart if a connection drops
Bypass hotpot throttle limits. Works on OpenWRT routers for home internet. All devices supported via proxy.
No jailbreak needed. It's on TestFlight now.
