How to Set Up a VPN: The Practical Guide
Set up Outlivion by installing a compatible client (Happ on iPhone, Hiddify or v2RayTun on Android, Hiddify on Windows/macOS), importing your subscription config, allowing the VPN profile when prompted, then testing the connection on mobile data — not just home Wi-Fi.
What you need before you start
A compatible VPN client installed from the official source, and your Outlivion subscription link or QR code from the dashboard.
- iPhone: Happ (App Store)
- Android: Hiddify, v2RayTun or v2rayNG (Google Play or APK)
- Windows / macOS: Hiddify
The setup steps
Open the client, find the import or add subscription option, paste your config link or scan the QR code. Allow any permission prompts (VPN configuration on iOS, network access on Android/Windows).
- Install the client from the official source
- Get your config link from the Outlivion dashboard
- Import the link or scan the QR code in the client
- Allow VPN permissions when prompted
- Connect and test on mobile data
Testing the connection properly
Connect on home Wi-Fi first, then disconnect Wi-Fi and test on mobile data. This replicates hotel and airport conditions. Visit a site like ipleak.net to confirm the IP has changed.
What to do if the connection fails
Check that the config is current (re-import from the dashboard link). Check that the device time and timezone are set automatically. Try a different network.
If none of these work, contact support with your device model, OS version, client name and a description of the error.
Keeping it working after updates
Re-import your config after major client updates. Update the client and OS before travelling. Save the support link offline.

Frequently asked questions
No. Config import takes a few taps. If you get stuck, support guides you through the steps for your specific device.
Re-import the config from your dashboard link — it always points to the current server list. Old imported configs can become stale.
Yes. Import the same config on each device.
Router setup protects all devices on your home network without installing clients. It is more complex to set up. See the router VPN guide for details.
