Happ Is Gone from Google Play: What to Do on Android (2026)

On 3 November 2026 Happ’s page in Google Play returned a 404 error in the US, German and Russian stores. We do not know what happens next: that is up to the developer and the store. We do not make or distribute that app.

If you need a VPN on Android or Android TV, there is our ProxysVPN app: it is in Google Play, Android TV included, and it signs in with a code from your dashboard.

What a missing page means

An app that is already installed usually keeps working, but updates through Google Play stop coming while the page is missing. An out-of-date client eventually stops connecting. Then it is simpler to replace it with the service’s own app.

Android without Google Play, and Android TV

• If your device has no Google Play, the APK file is on the apps page, in the Android card.
• On a TV with Android TV, install the app from Google Play on the TV itself; it is easiest to take the sign-in code in your dashboard on a phone.

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 The server list changes, and an outdated list stops working: find the refresh button for the subscription in your app.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.
