IOS Shortcuts

[BigTows]

What would you like the app to enable you to do? Support shortcuts for IOS.

Describe alternatives you've considered I guees, only manual execution.

Additional context Sometimes you need VPN for few sites, for example: A site was blocked by your internet provider and B site allows connect only with localy IP address. WIth shortcuts you can possible turning on VPN when you visit some application, and turn off when you leaving.

Need 2 thing by shortcuts:

• Turn on VPN, without visit the app.
• Turn off VPN, without visit the app.

Yes, need this!

[gsavelev]

Guys, preoritize this feature request, pls! This is a very important feature in 2022

[teslacatbot]

Come on do it you need to

[AlekHed]

Yes. Please, add this feature!!! It's hard to control VPN traffic usage without this feature.

[flaksp]

I use VPN for one app only and always forget to turn if off after I'm done using it. iOS shortcuts could solve my problem easily.

[Ra1ze505]

This is still relevant to me. Please take it as a priority

While we are waiting for this feature you can use the following workaround: There is the app Potatso for iOS (https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/potatso/id1239860606) which also uses the Shadowsocks protocol. You just add your Outline server to Potatso via a URL like ss://... (as you do it for the Outline app) and connect to it. Then you are able to create Shortcuts using Potatso VPN and make your own automatization.

Doesn't support dynamic configs it seems, for me it didn't work with ssconf:// link

Thanks for ya'll 🤗

How did you get it to work? I'm on iOS 17.2 beta, outline 1.12.1 and I don't see outline in apps inside shortcuts app

[CrAyZiK]

I've one added server and I don’t have to choose which one I need to connect to. I use 2 automations:

1. When "ApplicationName" is opened Do Set VPN:

    1. Set On Demand to On for Outline VPN
   

2. When "ApplicationName" is closed Do Set VPN and Set VPN:

    1. Set On Demand to Off for Outline VPN
    2. Disconnect from Outline VPN
   

It's work fine for me. "Set VPN" is an action for the Settings app.

Thanks, but i installed Potatso and it eorks fluently😅

[rtatarinov]

Actually it's not working on ios 17

[BigTows]

Soo... issue still open) Happy new year guys!

[KrisM24]

Need this especially with new action button on iPhone

[ajite]

As mentioned above, it works with 2 actions:

To connect:.

• Set On Demand to On for Outline VPN
• Connect to Outline VPN

To disconnect:.

• Disable On Demand for Outline VPN
• Disconnect from Outline VPN

If you are using ssconf with a server that regularly updates its conf file settings, you must connect through the Outline APP the first time. Otherwise it will not fetch your new configuration.

It would be better to add actions to shortcut to do it for us.
