Happ VPN: What It Is and What to Use Instead (2026)

Happ is a client: a program where you paste a subscription link to get a list of servers. People search for it when it stops connecting, disappears from a store or the link will not paste.

We do not make, distribute or set up that app. For our subscription there is our own app, ProxysVPN: it signs in with a code from your dashboard, so there is no subscription link to copy.

A client is not a service

A client is only the shell on your device: it connects to the servers the service gave it. If the service issued a fresh list and the client still does not connect, the cause is usually the device or the network rather than the subscription. If the client is out of date or gone from the store, it is simpler to replace it with the service’s own app than to hunt for the cause.

What to check if you already have the app

General steps that do not depend on the program. Each takes a minute; check the connection after each one.

• Refresh the subscription. The server list changes, and an outdated list stops working: find the refresh button for the subscription in your app.
• Use VPN (TUN) mode, not proxy mode. In proxy mode some programs go around the tunnel.
• Check the date, time and time zone. A noticeable difference from the real time stops the connection from being established.
• Try another network. If mobile data does not work, try Wi-Fi, and the other way round.
• Turn off other VPNs and proxies. Two tunnels at once get in each other’s way.
• Restart the app and the device. That clears a stuck tunnel.

How to connect with ProxysVPN

The ProxysVPN app knows all our addresses, switches to the reserve address by itself and signs in with a code from your dashboard, so there is no subscription link to copy. It exists for Android and Android TV, iPhone and iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Windows and Linux; the download buttons for each device are on the apps page.

1. 1Open the apps page and pick your device. Android and Android TV: Google Play; if Google Play is not available, the APK file is on the same page. iPhone and iPad: through TestFlight (iOS 16 or later). Mac, Windows, Linux and Apple TV: the buttons on the same page.
2. 2Get a sign-in code: in your dashboard, open the device card and press “Code for the app”. The eight-character code is valid for 10 minutes and works once. No account yet? Signing up takes a minute with an email address; Telegram is not needed.
3. 3Open the app and choose the sign-in by code: on iPhone and iPad it is “Sign in with a code from your account”, on Android, computers and Apple TV it is “Enter a code from the website”. Type the code.
4. 4Allow the app to add a VPN connection if the system asks, and press the connect button.
5. 5If the country list looks out of date, press “Refresh” in it. If something is wrong, press “Send report”: the app shows a code that lets support see the reason.

What it costs

The app itself is free; what you pay for is the subscription: $1.50 per device per month, taken from your balance, with nothing charged to your card automatically. Top-ups start at $5. An account opened on the Russian site is priced in roubles instead: an account keeps the currency it was opened in, whatever card tops it up.

Device by device: Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows, Linux, Apple TV.
