Chute - Network Proxy
System-wide proxy for tvOS
Only for Apple TV
Free · In‑App Purchases
Apple TV
Scan the QR code on your TV and the web console opens already signed in — upload configurations, watch live connections, and pull a diagnostic bundle from any browser.
Chute tvOS puts the full Chute network engine on your Apple TV. Turn it on and every app on the device — streaming, games, the App Store itself — goes through the rules you wrote.
It is the same engine that runs Chute on iPhone and Mac, rebuilt around the remote: focus-based navigation, an on-screen dashboard, and the Web Console so you never have to type a server address with the on-screen keyboard.
MANAGE IT FROM A BROWSER
Chute tvOS runs a built-in web server. From any Mac, PC, or phone on the same network, open the console to upload, switch, rename, and delete configurations — the TV picks up the change instantly. The TV shows its address as a QR code that carries the sign-in token, so there is no remote-control typing, ever. The same console holds the debugging side: live and past connections with the rule and policy behind each one, which rewrites fired, live probes, and HAR or diagnostic-bundle downloads.
WHOLE-DEVICE PROXY
• Chute VIF routes all tvOS traffic at the system level — no per-app setup
• Runs around the clock, so an always-on Apple TV becomes a proxy gateway for your LAN
• Local HTTP and SOCKS5 servers for the other devices on your network
• Hot configuration reload — changes apply without dropping connections
17 PROXY PROTOCOLS
HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 over TLS, Shadowsocks (AEAD, AEGIS, and 2022), ShadowsocksR, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, TUIC v5, Hysteria2, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, AnyTLS, ShadowTLS, MASQUE, and SSH tunneling — plus a built-in Tailscale client.
Transport and TLS: XTLS Vision, REALITY, XHTTP, uTLS fingerprinting, ECH, and X25519MLKEM768 post-quantum key exchange.
PROXY CHAINING
Every policy but Tailscale can be dialled through another — an upstream per policy, one written once for a whole group, or a Front Proxy covering every node that sets none of its own. The connection detail names every hop, and a chain that loops or names a missing policy is refused at load.
30 RULE TYPES
• DOMAIN, DOMAIN-SUFFIX, DOMAIN-KEYWORD, DOMAIN-WILDCARD, DOMAIN-REGEX
• IP-CIDR, IP-CIDR6, GEOIP, IP-ASN, SUBNET
• SRC-IP, SRC-PORT, DEST-PORT, IN-PORT, IN-TYPE, IN-USER, IN-NAME
• PROCESS-NAME, PROCESS-PATH, PROCESS-NAME-REGEX, USER-AGENT, URL-REGEX, PROTOCOL, HOSTNAME-TYPE
• AND / OR / NOT for composite conditions
• RULE-SET and DOMAIN-SET with remote subscriptions and auto-update
• SCRIPT for the cases a rule alone cannot express
POLICY GROUPS
URL-Test for the lowest-latency node, Fallback for automatic failover, Load Balance, Relay and Random, SSID, and manual Select — switch the active outbound from the couch without restarting the tunnel.
MODERN DNS
• DoH, DoH3, DoQ, DoT, and plain DNS — a different resolver per domain if you want
• Fake IP for fast, leak-free routing decisions
• EDNS Client Subnet, negative caching, custom hosts, and full query logs
ON-SCREEN DASHBOARD
• Live connections, DNS queries, and per-session detail on the TV itself
• Real-time throughput and traffic accounting
• No second device needed to see what your Apple TV is talking to
FULL EDITOR ON tvOS
Policies, policy groups, rules, rule and proxy providers, DNS, HTTPS decryption, URL and header rewrites, JSONPath and jq body rewrites, mock responses, JavaScript scripts, modules, and Tailscale — all editable with the remote, all reloadable without restarting the tunnel.
FREE AND PAID
The proxy engine, the rule engine, the DNS stack, and the dashboard are free to use with one configuration. A single one-time purchase — no subscription — adds multiple switchable configurations, control of the local HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy server, and traffic recording for Chute Dashboard. One purchase covers up to 3 Apple TV devices and 3 iPhone or iPad devices, and buying in either Chute app unlocks both.
Chute does not operate proxy servers and does not provide network access on its own — you bring your own server or a service you already use. Traffic and logs stay on your device. Chute collects no browsing data and sells nothing to anyone.
Ratings & Reviews

NEW
• Proxy chaining: any policy except Tailscale can dial through another — set an upstream per policy, one for a whole group, or a Front Proxy in Advanced covering every node that has no upstream of its own; the connection detail names every hop
• New Relay and Random group types
• VMess and VLESS carry UDP; Shadowsocks gains UDP over TCP (UoT), so it keeps working through an upstream without UDP
• The editor gained rows for DoT / DoQ / DoH3, dedicated DNS, tun-included-routes, MitM HTTP/2 and QUIC blocking, the REJECT policies, inline rule sets and more — and no longer drops or rewrites what it cannot display
• QUIC can be routed by domain, so DOMAIN rules cover HTTP/3 connections made to a bare address; icmp-auto-reply answers pings inside the tunnel
• Rule sets use far less memory: providers download one after another instead of failing after the 35th
FIXES
• Configurations no longer disappear after an app update: each is also kept in storage the system does not clear, and missing files are written back at launch and on returning to the foreground
• Fixed SSID Suspend errors, the Wi-Fi page's upload and download, downloads overwriting one another, hidden groups appearing in the tunnel's lists, and saving over a configuration without asking
• Fixed several crashes, an XHTTP stall, PROTOCOL rules not matching, and RULE-SET / DOMAIN-SET inside AND / OR / NOT always evaluating false
