All of these apps are clients: they don't include servers. You add a key or a subscription link from your VPN service — copy → + → paste from clipboard. New to VLESS? Start with What is VLESS.
Windows
| App | Good for | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Happ | Simple setup, TUN and Proxy modes | GitHub (Happ-proxy/happ-desktop), happ.su |
| Hiddify | Open source, auto-selects the fastest server | GitHub (hiddify/hiddify-app) |
| v2rayN | Power users: Xray and sing-box cores, detailed rules | GitHub (2dust/v2rayN) |
| Throne | Successor-style replacement for NekoBox for PC; runs even on Windows 7 | GitHub (throneproj/Throne) |
| Vetryx | One-click app for a Vetryx subscription | vetryx.xyz |
macOS
Happ (DMG for macOS 13+, App Store version for macOS 15+), Hiddify (DMG), v2rayN (DMG for Apple Silicon and Intel), Incy (Mac App Store) and Karing. Throne also has macOS builds, but they're unsigned, so macOS blocks the first launch.
iPhone and iPad
Happ, Streisand, V2Box, Hiddify, Incy, Karing and the paid Shadowrocket. Which ones you can install depends on your App Store region — and some regions are full of look-alike clones. Details: VLESS apps for iPhone: App Store availability and clones.
Android
| App | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Happ | Google Play or APK on GitHub |
| Hiddify | Google Play or APK on GitHub |
| v2rayNG | GitHub only — it isn't on Google Play |
| NekoBox | GitHub only — the developers say the Google Play listing is controlled by a third party |
| Vetryx | vetryx.xyz |
Linux
Happ (.deb, .rpm, .pkg.tar.zst), Hiddify (AppImage, .deb), v2rayN (.deb, .rpm, .zip) and Throne.
How to choose
- Just want it to work: Happ or Hiddify on any platform.
- Want every setting: v2rayN on desktop, v2rayNG or NekoBox on Android.
- Want everything routed, including games: use TUN mode (Happ, Hiddify, v2rayN) — and run a WebRTC leak test afterwards.
Download clients only from official stores and the developers' GitHub pages. Repackaged "VPN" apps with similar names often come with ads, paid "subscriptions" or worse.
One subscription for all of these apps. A Vetryx subscription works in Happ, Hiddify, v2rayN, v2rayNG, NekoBox, Streisand and V2Box: four protocols and servers in Europe, Asia and the US. See pricing.
