Yeah, this is really tricky. Apple has released Network Extension API since iOS 9 which only exposes IP packets. What I did is to parse the IP packets and redirect them into different proxies. (Most tough part though only one sentence)

Is your app able to track data usage?

Huh, interesting approach.
Do you think Apple will allow this in the store?
Did you have any trouble with the approval process?

You could ask a mod to add "Show HN" flair to the submission as you are the author of the program. It will be more sticky that way.

It's already on the App Store so of course they must've allowed it.
There are several similar apps that do basically the same thing. The original one is called Surge, but it's super expensive. Potatso is one of the cheaper clones.

Thank for your suggestion. I'm new here. Who should I ask for?

No problem. This is public API and Apple encourages developing custom proxy.
