Quick toggle¶
Turn the tunnel on and off without opening the app. On both platforms you add the control yourself, once.
🔲
Quick Settings tile¶
Android 7 and later
A tile in the notification shade: swipe down and tap to connect or disconnect. It shows the current state, and you never leave the app you're in. The tile doesn't appear on its own — add it once by editing your shade.
Where to add it
Pixel / stock Android — swipe down fully, then the ✏️ pencil
Samsung — swipe down twice, then ⋮ → Edit buttons
Xiaomi — swipe down, then ⚙️ or Sort
OnePlus / Oppo — swipe down, then pencil or ⋮ → Edit tiles
🔘
Widget¶
iOS 17 and later
A widget with a single button, on the home screen or in Control Centre. Tap to connect or disconnect without opening the app. Connect from the app at least once first — that's when iOS asks permission for the VPN profile. The widget's state can lag a second or two behind.
Where to add it
Home screen — touch and hold an empty area, tap +, find SMProxy
Control Centre — swipe down from the top-right corner, tap +, then Add a control
Connect automatically on Wi-Fi or mobile¶
Android, iOS · both switches off by default
Two switches in settings — “on Wi-Fi” and “on mobile data”. Turn on the ones you want, and the VPN comes up by itself in those networks and goes down in the rest. Disconnecting by hand is always respected: the tunnel stays down until the network changes or you connect again yourself.
| Platform | What to expect |
|---|---|
| iOS | The system applies the rules, so it works even when the app isn't running. Switching networks is handled for you: leave home and the tunnel comes up on mobile data, come back to Wi-Fi and it goes down again. A manual disconnect lasts until the network type changes — reconnecting to the same Wi-Fi doesn't count as a change. You can also mark trusted Wi-Fi networks by name and stay off the tunnel there. |
| Android | The app watches the network, so it works while the app is running. A manual disconnect lasts until the connection changes — switching Wi-Fi off and on again is enough. If the system unloads the app, auto-connect resumes on the next launch; for a guaranteed always-on tunnel use Always-on VPN in Android settings. |
Using another VPN alongside SMProxy? On iOS the rules belong to the system, so if you connect a different VPN while SMProxy isn't running, a network change can hand the slot back to SMProxy. Turn these switches off if you rely on another VPN.
