SSH Browser Beta

Browse through your own SSH server — no VPN app, no root, no third-party service.

SSH Browser routes all web traffic through your SSH server via a SOCKS5 tunnel. If you have a home server, VPS, or any cloud instance with SSH access, you have everything you need.

WHY SSH BROWSER INSTEAD OF CONNECTBOT + SOCKSDROID?

The existing approach requires two separate apps: one to manage the SSH tunnel, another to route traffic through it. That means two apps to configure, two to keep running, and VPN system permission granted to a third-party app.

SSH Browser handles both in a single app — SSH connection and browser together. No VPN permission. No root.

PRIVACY

SSH Browser does not collect personal data. Crash reports (no PII) are sent via Firebase Crashlytics to help fix bugs faster. Anonymous usage analytics via TelemetryDeck help understand which features are used — no IP addresses, no browsing history, no device identifiers are ever sent.
