VLESS and Reality: what it is and how to connect

The main way to connect to frdm is the Xray core with the VLESS and REALITY protocols. You do not have to set the parameters by hand: the app gets them from the subscription.

What VLESS and Reality are

VLESS is a protocol of the Xray proxy core. It carries traffic between your device and the server. REALITY is a connection protection mode in Xray: the connection looks like an ordinary TLS connection to a real website, so the server does not need a certificate of its own.

No protocol guarantees access on every network, so the subscription holds several connection options and servers.

Which protocols the subscription includes

The main way to connect is Xray with the VLESS + REALITY, XHTTP, Hysteria2, gRPC, WebSocket and XDNS protocols. HAPP and INCY choose the protocol and the server themselves: pick the entry with SMART in its name in the server list, and the app finds a working option and switches to another one if it fails.

Which apps open the subscription

The subscription is accepted by HAPP, INCY, v2rayNG, v2rayN, Hiddify, Karing, Streisand, V2Box and other clients from the guides in your account. SMART servers, where the protocol and server are chosen automatically, are supported by HAPP and INCY.

How to connect

  1. 1Get access and open the device connection section in your account.
  2. 2Choose your device: iPhone, Android, Android TV, Mac, Windows or Linux.
  3. 3Install the app and add the subscription with the button from the guide. The app pulls the VLESS and REALITY parameters itself.
  4. 4Choose a server with SMART in its name and press the connect button.

If you set up the client yourself

Copy the subscription link in your account and add it as a subscription in your client. You do not need to assemble server configurations by hand: the client loads the list and gets changes when the subscription updates. Clients on the Clash or sing-box core receive the subscription in their own format, but without SMART.

Free trial and plans

New users get 7 days and 100 GB of traffic for free. On the website the trial starts after you link Telegram.
