iOS Setup — Happ (V2Ray) on iPhone and iPad
Set up V2Ray on iPhone with the Happ app: the App Store region question, the link from your RocketVPN dashboard and five steps to a connection.
Below is a step-by-step guide with screenshots: from installing Happ out of the App Store to the first connection. It usually takes 5–10 minutes.
Before you start, open your dashboard on rocketvpn.net and switch to the V2Ray technology — that is where the link comes from. Opening the dashboard on a computer is handier: the configuration can then be carried to the phone as a QR code.
1. Download
Install Happ — Proxy Utility from the App Store. iOS 15 or later is required.
The app is not published in the Russian App Store — you will need an Apple ID registered in another country. Creating one is free and takes a few minutes: you pick the country during sign-up, and no payment details are needed.
2. Server activation
Open your dashboard, switch the technology to V2Ray and activate servers by clicking the flags. Prefer countries closer to you and activate several at once so there is something to switch to.
3. Copying the link
Tap “Copy link” next to the server you need — a vless://… link is copied to the clipboard. If the dashboard is open on a computer, “QR-Code” is more convenient: show the code on screen and scan it with the camera from Happ.
4. Configuration import
Open Happ, tap “+” in the top-right corner and choose “Import from Clipboard” — the configuration appears in the list right away. A code shown on screen is added from the same menu, via “QR Code”.
Repeat for the other servers: keep 4–5 profiles at hand so the country can be changed right in the app.
5. Connection
Select a configuration from the list and press the big connect button. iOS asks once to allow adding a VPN configuration — confirm it. Once the connection timer starts and a VPN icon appears in the status bar, the connection is up.
If the connection does not come up
The configuration was added but nothing connects. Check that the V2Ray technology is selected in the dashboard: a vless:// link only works with V2Ray servers. Then try another server from the list — a neighbouring location often comes up straight away.
Connected, but sites do not open. Usually the provider blocks the subnet of the data center the chosen server sits in. Remove it from the app and from the dashboard, activate a different one and add that instead.
The link will not paste. Copy it again with the “Copy link” button — copying by hand easily loses part of the string. The link always starts with vless://.
How to tell the VPN works
The first sign is the connection timer in Happ itself and the system VPN indicator. A more reliable check is the visible IP address: open any IP-checking service before connecting and after — the address and the country should change to the server you picked. And the most practical test is simply opening the site you needed the VPN for.
Keep a few servers in reserve
It makes sense to keep 4–5 configurations with different countries in the app. A server that flies today may lag at peak hours tomorrow — that happens with any provider. With a ready list, switching takes a second and there is no need to go back to the dashboard. The Bronze plan includes every location with no traffic limit, so a reserve costs nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Happ is not in my App Store — what now?
The app is not published in the Russian or Chinese App Store. You need an Apple ID registered in another country: it is free, takes a few minutes and needs no payment details; the region can be switched back after installing.
Which iOS version is required?
iOS 15.0 or newer. On older versions the built-in IKEv2 and L2TP/IPSec remain — they need no third-party app.
Can I avoid changing the Apple ID?
Yes, but not with V2Ray: set up IKEv2 or L2TP/IPSec with the built-in iOS client using the login, password and IPSec key from the dashboard.
How many devices can I connect at once?
The Bronze plan covers 5 devices, every location, with no traffic limit. Details for the other plans are on the pricing page.
To avoid picking servers blindly, use our Radar service — radar.rvpn.online: it shows which servers are up right now and how fast they respond. Sign in with your VPN login and password.
If something does not work out, message our online consultant — the turquoise rocket icon in the bottom-right corner of the site and the dashboard. We will help and answer your questions.
