How to Connect to a VPN — Instructions for All Devices (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac)
📱 How to Connect to a VPN — A Guide for All Devices
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of connecting to our VPN on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. We support the modern VLESS + Reality protocol—it works with apps like Hiddify, v2rayNG, Streisand, Nekoray, and others.
All you need is a VPN link from the Telegram bot and one of the apps listed below. It takes 2–3 minutes to connect.
🚀 Step 1. Get the VPN link
- Open the Telegram bot @vpnbottop_bot
- Tap “📊 My Subscription” → “📋 Get Link”
- Copy the link that starts with
vless://
📱 Step 2. Install the app
Choose the app for your operating system:
- Streisand — recommended
- Shadowrocket (paid)
- FoXray
🔗 Step 3. Import the VPN link
Hiddify (Android / iOS / Windows / macOS)
- Open Hiddify
- Tap “+” or “Add Profile”
- Select “Add from Clipboard”
- The link will be imported automatically
- Tap the profile to connect
v2rayNG (Android)
- Open v2rayNG
- Tap “+” in the upper-right corner
- Select “Import from Clipboard”
- The link will be added to the list
- Tap it, then tap the large “V” button at the bottom
Streisand (iOS)
- Open Streisand
- Tap “+” in the upper-right corner
- Select “Import from Clipboard”
- The link will be added to your settings
- Tap it, then tap “Connect”
v2rayN (Windows)
- Open v2rayN
- Servers → “Import from Clipboard” (Ctrl+V)
- The link will appear in the server list
- Right-click → “Set as Active Server”
- Bottom right → “Proxy Mode” → “Global” or “Rules”
✅ Step 4. Test the connection
- Open your browser
- Go to 2ip.ru or whatismyipaddress.com
- If your IP address has changed (for example, to a Dutch, German, or U.S. address), the VPN is working
If the IP address doesn’t change—check that the VPN is enabled in the app (the large “Connect” button is active).
💡 Helpful tips
- Make sure you’ve copied the entire link (it starts with
vless://) - Update the app to the latest version
- Try a different network (Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data)
- Restart the app
- Use multiple VPN apps at the same time
- Copy a link with the beginning cut off (
vless://— required) - Use outdated app versions (Reality requires the latest versions)
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What protocol is used?
We use VLESS + Reality—a modern protocol that masks traffic as regular HTTPS. It works even on networks with blocks and DPI.
Which app is best?
For most users, we recommend Hiddify—it’s simple, cross-platform, and free. Streisand also works great on iOS.
How many devices can be connected?
Up to 5 simultaneously with a paid subscription. Up to 2 with a trial account. The same link can be used on different devices.
Can I use one VPN key on multiple devices?
Yes, but with a limit of up to 5 simultaneous connections. If you exceed this limit, the older connections will be disconnected.
Does the VPN work on a router?
Yes, if the router supports installing custom firmware (OpenWrt, Keenetic). To do this, you’ll need a link vless:// and an app, such as Xray or Hiddify in CLI mode.
What should I do if the app won’t import the link?
Check:
- Does the link start with
vless://(notvmess://, notss://) - The link has been copied in full
- The app is updated to the latest version
If everything looks good, contact support via the @vpnbottop_bot bot, send the link, and we’ll look into it.
Can I use a VPN for streaming (Netflix, YouTube)?
Yes, but some services (such as Netflix) block VPN IP addresses. Our servers are located in Europe and the U.S.—some content will be available.
Will the VPN work in China, the UAE, or other countries with internet restrictions?
Usually, yes—Reality masks its connection well. However, we can’t guarantee it will work in every country, as restrictions change. Try different servers (NL / US / DE)—one of them is sure to work.
🚀 Ready to connect?
Open the Telegram bot, get the VPN link, and import it into the app. It’ll take 2–3 minutes.
