Where a configuration link comes from
Written for people who were handed a long line of text and told “use this.”
What the link actually is
A configuration link is one long line of text that usually starts with vless://. Packed into
that line are two things: the address of a server, and the credentials that let you
reach it. Apps that use such a server read the whole line and configure themselves from it.
Treat it like a password. Anyone holding the link can use that server as you. Don’t post it in public chats or screenshots, and if it leaks, ask whoever issued it for a new one.
Where people get one
There are three ordinary sources, and yours is almost certainly one of them:
- A provider you pay. After you subscribe, they send you a link — often as text you can copy, sometimes as a QR code, sometimes as a file to download.
- A server you run yourself. If you set up your own machine, the software you installed on it generates the link for you, usually at the end of setup.
- Someone who shares theirs. A friend or family member running their own server can issue you a link of your own.
This app does not sell, issue, or provide access to any server. It only watches servers you already have.
Adding it to the app
- Paste it. Copy the entire line — it is long, so make sure you have all of it — then open the app and paste it into the field. Tap Import.
- Scan it. If you were sent a QR code, tap Scan QR and point the camera at it.
- Open a file. If you were sent a file, tap Open file and pick it.
If a whole message is pasted in — several links surrounded by other text — the app finds the links inside it and asks which one you meant.
What happens next
The app sends that server’s details to our checking service, which tries to reach the server and reports back: answering or not, how long it took, and which address the connection came out of. That result is stamped into the server’s ledger on your phone. Your details are used for that check and are not kept afterwards — the privacy policy says exactly what is and isn’t stored.
If a check says the server isn’t answering
It usually means one of three things: the server is genuinely down, the link has expired or been revoked, or something between you and it is interfering. The app tells you which stage failed, and says plainly when the problem is on our side rather than yours — it will never report your server as down because our own checker had trouble.
