## Description

Spectre VPN is a multi-protocol VPN and proxy client for connecting to your own servers. Import configurations by QR code, link, subscription, or manual entry, check server latency, and manage multiple nodes in one place.

Choose Global or Rule routing, customize traffic rules, and connect using Shadowsocks, Trojan, VMess, VLESS, Hysteria2, TUIC, SOCKS, HTTP, or a custom sing-box JSON configuration. Control connections from the Home Screen widget or Control Center on iOS 18 and later. Spectre VPN does not provide servers or sell VPN subscriptions; users must supply a compatible server or subscription link.

## Review summary

User reviews praise Spectre VPN for reliability and its familiarity among long-time users, especially for Shadowsocks. However, many reports highlight post-update connectivity failures (TLS issues and timeouts). There is a strong demand for broader protocol support (VMess/VLESS, ShadowsocksR, SSTP, Trojan, VPN over SSH) and WebSocket, plus performance features like ping/speed tests and latency-based sorting. Some users also note onboarding frictions (login/adding servers).

### Pros

- Reliable and efficient performance over years.
- Long-term users value the app's stability and usefulness.
- Strong reputation as a top choice for Shadowsocks usage.

### Cons

- Post-update connectivity issues: cannot connect to servers, TLS problems, and timeouts.
- Lack of essential protocol support and WebSocket options; requests for vmess/vless, ShadowsocksR, SSTP, Trojan, and VPN over SSH.
- Onboarding/UI gaps such as unclear login/registration flow and difficulty adding servers.
