Mudfish App for iOS

This document is about show to use mudfish app for iOS. Mudfish app could be found at the appstore by searching "Mudfish".

Differences from mudfish for desktop.

Here's summary what's differences between mudfish app for iOS and mudfish vpn for desktop.

  1. For mudfish app, it works always as Full VPN mode. And it doesn't support the per-app VPN feature. So it means all traffics from iOS will go to mudfish nodes you'd picked.

  2. At mudfish app, it doesn't apply "item configuration / program settings" which set from mudfish vpn for desktop. The configuration of mudfish app is completely separated.

  3. Your data plan is shared. If your data plan is PPT (Pay Per Traffic), your credit usage will be charged how much you used.

    However if your data plan is Subscription, no extra credit charges but the speed cap.

  4. Mudfish credits are shared cross mudfish services. So you can use it at both mudfish apps and mudfish other services.

Front

Front screent is the sign-in scrrent. By clicking (Plus) icon, you can sign up.

If you want to keep the sign-in alive, you can use "Remember Me" button.

Main screen

Very simple screen with the following options:

  • Welcome!

  • Credits

    Show the current mudfish credit balance. If you click it, it moves to the screen for InApp payments.

  • Mudfish Node

    Show current mudfish node you picked. If you want to change, you can touch.

  • Configuration

    You can change Connection Protocol and MTU.

    • Connection Protocol

      Currently only UDP protocol is supported. As default, it's UDP (Port 10008)

    • MTU

      You can specify MTU size. As default, it's 1400 bytes.

    • RTT check speed

      This specifies the speed of RTT checking between user and mudfish nodes. If this value is larger than 1, it'll show the latency (ping) information at "Mudfish Node" menu. The each value means:

      • 0

        This means "turn off the RTT checking". This is the default value.

      • 1

        This is slowest speed of RTT checking. Under some environment, the aggressive RTT checking makes your home router got a hang. For that case you can use this value.

      • 5

        This is highest speed of RTT checking. 5 threads will check RTT information at the same time.

  • Connect

    Points current connection status. If you click, you can do "Connect" or "Disconnect".
