1
First Launch and Permissions
- The main workspace is organized around Subscriptions, Nodes, and Settings.
- Camera permission is needed only when you scan a QR code to import a subscription or node.
- VPN XX Free may request advertising consent or tracking permission where required before showing personalized ads.
2
Add Subscriptions or Nodes
- Add a name and paste a subscription URL, paste one or more proxy links, import from the clipboard, or scan a QR code.
- HTTP or HTTPS subscription URLs are saved as subscriptions and can be refreshed later; direct proxy links are parsed into nodes.
- Subscription URLs are data you provide. They are not App Store subscription purchases.
3
Supported Formats
- VPN XX parses plain text first, then tries Base64 decoding when needed.
- Supported node formats include VMess, VLESS, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SSR, Hysteria, Hysteria2, TUIC, WireGuard, SOCKS, HTTP, and HTTPS where applicable.
- The app can also extract recognizable node URIs from mixed text, Clash YAML, and sing-box JSON.
4
Refresh and Organize Nodes
- Refresh a subscription to fetch its latest node list from the URL you provided.
- Use protocol, status, favorites, and latency filters to keep large node lists manageable.
- Rename nodes or mark favorites so frequently used endpoints are easy to find.
5
Speed Test and Share
- Run batch tests or single-node checks to compare endpoint latency. Results depend on the provider, protocol, and current network.
- UDP or handshake-heavy protocols such as Hysteria, TUIC, and WireGuard may be marked as requiring a protocol-specific check.
- Share node details only with people or apps you trust because proxy links may contain credentials.
6
iCloud Sync and Data Management
- Enable iCloud sync if you want your subscription and node data to sync through your private iCloud account.
- Use Check iCloud, Self Test, and Sync Now to confirm that iCloud is available before relying on cross-device sync.
- Clear local data, restore from iCloud, clear iCloud data, or clear both only after you understand which copy will remain.

Free and Pro Versions
- VPN XX Free can show Yandex Mobile Ads through Yandex Smart Waterfall; Google AdMob is configured as a mediated demand source in the Yandex dashboard. Free placements include banner, app-open, interstitial, and native in-feed ads.
- VPN XX Pro is a paid download with no ads.
- The Pro target does not render ads, initialize ad SDKs for ad serving, or include the free edition ad IDs.

VPN XX Free may process data through advertising SDKs for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, security, consent, and compliance, including advertising identifiers where permitted, approximate location from IP, device and app information, ad interactions, and diagnostics. Pro does not initialize advertising SDKs. Subscription URLs and nodes can sync through iCloud when enabled.
