Adding Configuration#
There are generally two ways to add configuration files:
- Remote subscription address
- Local configuration file
The remote subscription address is imported through a URL link. Click the left menu Profiles, enter the URL link in the top input box, and click Download. After the download is complete, click the corresponding configuration file to add the configuration file, as shown in the following figure.Remote subscription address
The local configuration file is imported by dragging and dropping the local file. It is generally used when it is not possible to import through a remote subscription address. You can try to download the configuration file in the browser and directly import it by dragging and dropping, or click Import, as shown in the following figure.Local configuration file
Starting the Service#
To enable the proxy, click the left menu Profiles, select a node, then click the left menu General, and find the System Proxy switch to turn it on. When it is turned on, the button status will be green, and you can start accessing the Internet securely, as shown in the following figure.
Global=Global Rule=Rule
Rule mode means that mainland websites or apps use the local network, while foreign websites or apps use the proxy server network.)Global mode means that all traffic goes through the proxy server, which can maintain high anonymity. Since all traffic goes through the proxy server, accessing mainland websites or apps may be slower.
Split mode may cause some applications or web pages to not be proxied, so it needs to be set to global mode.
Updating Configuration Files#
Click the left menu Profiles, and click Update All to update all configuration files, as shown in the following figure.
