Windows is where desktop VPN use concentrates. The client supports system proxy, routing rules and autostart, which suits long online sessions for work and development.
Connection flow, permissions and everyday habits are adapted to the Windows platform.
One switch takes over the system proxy so browsers, developer tools and desktop apps use the tunnel without separate configuration.
Built-in rules keep local sites direct and send overseas services through a node, so you stop toggling the connection on and off.
The client can start with Windows, reconnect to your last node, and retry automatically after a dropped link.
Three steps in order and you are connected; support can help if a step fails.
Run the installer for the desktop build and follow the prompts. The package contains no bundled software.
On first launch Windows asks for administrator rights to create a virtual adapter, which is required to establish the tunnel.
After signing in, pick a node and turn on system proxy mode — browsers can then reach overseas services directly.
These settings directly affect connection stability and battery behaviour.
Permissions, background behaviour and compatibility on Windows.
Some stripped-down Windows builds lack required runtimes. Installing the official runtime and restarting the client usually fixes it; support can also provide a full package.
Avoid running two tunnels at once. Add your corporate intranet ranges to the direct-routing rules and both can work side by side.
Check that system proxy is enabled, then check whether the browser has its own proxy extension. Disabling that extension usually restores access.
One account covers your phone, computer and tablet — from the free plan to VIP dedicated lines for study, remote work, AI tools and streaming.
