Android

Setup via v2rayNG, Hiddify, or Streisand.

Option A: v2rayNG (Recommended)

  1. Open Google Play Store and search for 'v2rayNG'.
  2. Install it and launch the app.
  3. Tap the + button in the top-right corner.
  4. Choose 'Scan QR code' and scan the QR from your dashboard — or choose 'Import config from clipboard' and paste the vless:// link.
  5. The server will appear in the list. Tap it to select.
  6. Tap the large ▶ button at the bottom to connect.
  7. Android will ask for VPN permission on first use — tap Allow.
  8. Check the key icon in the status bar — your connection is active.
TipEnable 'Start on boot' in v2rayNG settings (⋮ → Settings → General) to auto-connect after reboot.

Option B: Hiddify

  1. Install Hiddify from Google Play or GitHub releases.
  2. Tap + → 'Add from QR code' or 'Add from clipboard'.
  3. Paste your vless:// link or scan the QR.
  4. Tap Connect — the app handles routing and DNS automatically.
  5. Verify your IP changed at ip.me or 2ip.ru.

Option C: Streisand

  1. Install Streisand from Google Play.
  2. Open the app, tap +, choose 'Scan QR code' or 'Import from clipboard'.
  3. Select the imported profile and tap Connect.
  4. Grant VPN permission when prompted.

Verify Connection

  1. Open a browser and go to ip.me, whatismyip.com, or 2ip.ru.
  2. The displayed IP and country should match your VPN exit server.
  3. If it doesn't — disconnect, re-import the config, and try again.
  4. Check that the app shows traffic counters (↑ / ↓) increasing.
TipIf v2rayNG shows 'connection timeout', try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or enable 'Prefer IPv4' in routing settings.
