Setup: every device, step by step

One key, one free client per device, about a minute each. No installer from us and nothing to keep updated.

  • The whole vpn setup is two things: a key from the bot and a free client on the device. There is no app from us to install.
  • iPhone and iPad: Streisand or V2Box from the App Store, then paste the vless:// link.
  • Android: v2rayNG, NekoBox or Hiddify, then paste the link or scan the QR code.
  • Windows: v2rayN, NekoRay or Hiddify Desktop, with TUN mode if you want every app covered rather than the browser only.
  • Mac and Linux: Hiddify or sing-box, same key, same link.
  • Chromebook and TVs are the awkward ones and have their own pages, because both depend on what the device is allowed to install.
  • One key works on 5 devices at the same time. You do not need a separate key per phone.
01

Why there is no app to download

A VPN app is a black box: it holds the servers, the protocol and the account, and when it disappears from a store or stops being updated, everything inside it goes with it. A key is a line of text. It starts with vless:// and carries the address, the port and the parameters needed to reach one of our servers. Any client that speaks VLESS can read it.

That is why how to set up a vpn here reads differently from the usual instructions. You choose the client, which means you can switch clients without touching the key, and the clients themselves are general purpose tools rather than branded VPN apps, which is why they tend to stay available.

The three things that usually go wrong

One: the client is on, but only the browser is covered. On Windows this is the difference between system proxy mode and TUN mode, and it explains why a game or a desktop app carries on as before while web pages clearly changed. Two: an old profile is still in the list. Clients keep everything you have ever pasted, and the top entry is not always the one you just added.

Three: the device is fighting you. Android battery optimization kills a background client after a while, iOS asks for a VPN permission that people dismiss by reflex, and a work laptop may refuse profiles outright because someone set a policy. Each device page says which of these applies and what to press.

The setup, in four moves

1

Open @vpnlab_bot in Telegram and take the 5 free days. No card and no account are involved.

2

Copy the vless:// link the bot sends, or keep the QR code on screen for a phone.

3

Install the free client for your platform: Streisand or V2Box on iPhone, v2rayNG or NekoBox on Android, v2rayN on Windows, Hiddify or sing-box on Mac and Linux.

4

Paste the link or scan the code, pick a location, allow the VPN permission when the system asks, and connect.

05

Limits and things to know

  • Five devices run at once on one key. The sixth is refused, it does not wait in line.
  • Managed devices, such as a school Chromebook or a company laptop, are governed by a profile installed by the administrator. Nothing in this section overrides that.
  • Clients change their menus between versions, so a button may sit one level deeper than a screenshot shows. The sequence stays the same.
  • A router or a TV is worth doing last. Get one phone working first so you know the key itself is fine.
Questions

Questions

01Which client should I install?

On iPhone, Streisand or V2Box. On Android, v2rayNG or NekoBox. On Windows, v2rayN. Hiddify covers all of them and is the simplest if you want one name to remember.

02How long does the setup take?

About a minute once the client is installed. The bot sends the key immediately and adding it is a paste or a QR scan.

03Do I need a different key for each device?

No. The same key goes on all 5 devices. Copy the link across, or open the bot on each device and scan the code again.

04It connects but nothing changed. What now?

Check you are on the profile you just added rather than an old one, and on Windows check whether the client is in system proxy mode, which only covers the browser. TUN mode covers everything.

05Does it work on a work laptop?

Sometimes not, and that is by design. Managed machines carry policies that block new network profiles. The laptop belongs to the employer and we do not have a workaround for that.

06Can I set it up on a router?

Only on routers whose firmware supports a VLESS capable client, which rules out most factory firmware from US providers. For an ordinary home setup, a client per device is faster and easier to fix.
