Install ShadowNet on Android (User Guide)

Safety First

• Install only from trusted channels you already verify.
• Compare file checksum before install.
• If uncertain, do not install.

What You Need

• Android 8.0+ device (API 26+).
• APK file from trusted source (friend, mirror, USB, messaging app).
• Bundle file from trusted publisher.

Step-by-Step

1. Receive APK file.
2. Verify checksum/signature using the published signed manifest.
3. Install APK (allow unknown sources only for this install action).
4. Open app and tap Connect.
5. Approve VPN permission dialog.
6. Tap Import Bundle and select your .bundle file.
7. Wait for status to show connected profile.

If It Fails

• sing-box not found: install build that includes proper sing-box asset.
• bundle invalid: verify you received correct signed bundle.
• no profiles available: import a valid bundle first.

Panic / Risk Situations

• Use Disconnect immediately.
• Avoid sharing screenshots containing profile IDs or errors publicly.
• If device seizure risk is high, wipe app data from system settings.
