NekoBox is a sing-box client supporting VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, TUIC and Hysteria. Android: take it from the MatsuriDayo/NekoBoxForAndroid GitHub releases — the project is alive. The Google Play listing has been controlled by a third party since May 2024 and isn't open source. PC (NekoRay): archived in March 2025; use another client — see Karing.
Add a subscription: Groups → "+" → type Subscription → paste the link → update the group → pick a server → connect. Enable the "Russia direct" rule, use VPN mode, and let it run in the background without battery limits. XHTTP profiles may not be supported — choose VLESS Reality.
