Preface
MintFlow: VPN & HTTPS Capture is a networking toolkit for iPhone and iPad built around plain-text profiles. Choose a simple output for everyday use or combine VPNs, proxies, DNS policy, and selective routing in one configuration.
Version 2.0.0 moves active packet processing to VPPRS, MintFlow's Rust vectorized packet-processing core inspired by fd.io VPP. Older articles describe MintFlow's original VPP implementation; the current Apple products no longer run that legacy core.
Start here
- Profile configuration: sections, syntax, compilation, and entitlement restrictions.
- HTTP live capture: current setup screens and a focused recording workflow.
- HTTP analysis bundles and MFHRB: export evidence, work with an agent, and import a reviewable rewrite.
- Experimental Tailscale: log in, choose routes or an exit node, and understand Pro trial and Keychain behavior.
- FAQ: profile activation, persistent login, and export privacy.
- Core Components: internal DNS, secure DNS, ad filtering, and routing priority.
- Release notes and all releases.
MintFlow does not provide VPN or proxy servers. Features and allowances depend on your current entitlement; an eligible active Pro trial provides Pro access for its duration.
