Direct Answer

Android users should install the client, import a subscription or node, then verify IP and DNS after connecting. Do not rely only on the connected status.

Install carefully

Prefer trusted download sources and avoid repackaged APK files from unknown sites.

Import nodes

Paste a subscription link or single node URL, refresh the list, and run a speed test before using it.

Check after connection

Use NetScope or an IP test page to confirm that IP, DNS, and WebRTC signals changed as expected.

Steps

Install Shadowrocket Android from a trusted source.
Copy a subscription or node from the free node page.
Import it into the app and run a batch speed test.
Connect and verify IP, DNS, and WebRTC signals.

Checklist

Android VPN permission is enabled.
The imported protocol is supported.
The chosen node can complete a real webpage test.
DNS does not leak through the original network.

Troubleshooting

APK cannot be installed

Check Android version, package source, and whether another build is already installed.

Node imports but cannot connect

Refresh the subscription, switch nodes, or test a different protocol.

Some apps bypass the proxy

Check per-app proxy settings and test global mode first.

FAQ

Is Shadowrocket Android the same as the iOS app?

No. The name and use case are similar, but platform, installation source, and app behavior can differ.

Why does the app connect but the internet fail?

The node may be dead, the protocol may be unsupported, or DNS/routing may be misconfigured.

What should I test after connecting?

Check public IP, DNS, WebRTC, and browser language or time zone consistency.
