Liberty VPN on iPhone and iPad with Happ

Screenshots show the Russian interface. English labels below are translations; exact wording may vary by app version.

Before you start

• You need an active LibertyVPN subscription to connect. You can get its connection key from your account or the Telegram bot you use for your subscription. If a trial is available to you, you can obtain it through that bot.
• Keep your connection key private and hide it in screenshots.
• Turn off other VPN clients and the system proxy before connecting for the first time.

Install Happ separately

If you have not installed the app yet, open Happ in the App Store.

Where to get your connection key

Copy your connection key — your personal subscription URL — from your Liberty VPN bot or account. Then add the complete URL to your app using the steps below, without changing any part of it. You do not need to open a separate connection page.

In the Telegram bot

Open your subscription in the Liberty VPN Telegram bot. In the “Your subscription” message, copy the complete link under “Connection key” without changing any part of it.

Alternatively, select “Connect” in the same message, choose your platform, and copy the key from the resulting message.

In your account

Sign in to your Liberty VPN account and open “Profile → Instructions”. Use the copy button beside the link.

The connection action on your subscription card on the home screen also opens these instructions. You can also copy the key from “Connection Settings”.

Keep your connection key private and hide it in screenshots.

Add your subscription to Happ manually

1. Open Happ and select From clipboard.
2. If iOS asks for permission to paste, allow it. Wait for the subscription to be added.

3. Select a server and connect to the VPN.

Connect to the VPN

1. After adding your subscription, select a server in Happ.
2. Press the round power button at the top of the screen.
3. Approve the VPN configuration if iOS prompts you.

The screenshot shows where to find the servers and power button. An imported subscription and a loaded server list do not by themselves mean that the VPN is on.

Update your subscription

1. Select the settings gear in Happ, scroll to Advanced settings, and open Subscriptions.

2. Enable Auto update, set the interval to 1 hour, and enable Update on open.

The interval in this section applies while the app is running. It does not guarantee an update every hour when Happ is closed or no longer running. If the server list has not been updated recently, open Happ before connecting; Update on open is intended for this case.

3. Open your iPhone’s Settings → General → Background App Refresh and choose Wi-Fi & Cellular Data.

4. Find Happ in the app list and make sure its switch is on.

Low Power Mode turns off Background App Refresh in iOS, as described in Apple’s documentation. Open Happ before connecting when needed; hourly background updates are not guaranteed.

Configure ping

In Happ’s advanced settings, open Ping and select TCP under Ping protocols.
