Installing Happ on Windows: Step-by-Step Guide
Happ for Windows is a desktop app built on Xray-core that connects to a server using an access key from the Telegram bot. Here's how to set it up step by step.
Step 1. Download the installer
Go to the Windows download page and download the installer. Once it's downloaded, run the file and complete the standard installation on your computer.
Step 2. Get an access key from the Telegram bot
Open the service's Telegram bot and get an access key or subscription link. Copy it — you'll need it right after the first launch of the app on your computer.
Step 3. Add the key to the app
Launch Happ on Windows, open the add-subscription section, and paste the copied link from your clipboard. The app will process the link and add a new connection profile with a list of servers.
Step 4. Pick a server and connect
After adding the subscription, choose a server from the list — for example, the closest one geographically for the lowest latency. Click connect; on first launch Windows may show a system prompt to install a VPN driver, which you need to approve.
Advanced settings for experienced users
The Windows app also offers more granular settings, such as split tunneling — where part of your traffic goes directly and part through the VPN — along with support for adding custom configurations.
Frequently asked questions
