China

If you're in China, you may want to enable the Smart Routing option. This improves performance for WeChat, Taobao and other Chinese apps when in China.

You will have to re-connect to the VPN after changing this setting.

Improve Performance

For improved performance we recommend you enable the DNS Cache option.

Switching servers

You can switch servers at any time, simply by selecting a different server location. The app will automatically disconnect the previous server and re-connect to the new one.

Shadowscale shows a version number at the top of the app. The current version number is 2.3.0 (or higher). Please update your app if you see a lower version number.
