v2route FAQ

No single app is permanently "the one that works" — ISPs filter by protocol fingerprint, so whichever free app is popular this week gets detected and blocked soon after. What stays working is the protocol, not the brand: VLESS + Reality on port 443 has survived multiple filtering waves because it is indistinguishable from normal HTTPS. If your VPN suddenly drops, the fix is switching to a DPI-resistant protocol with a fallback, not hunting for the next free app. Full answer: best VPN for Iran 2026.

The best choice for Iran is a VPN running VLESS + Reality as primary and Hysteria2 as fallback; both resist deep packet inspection. Older protocols like OpenVPN, WireGuard and IKEv2 are detected and blocked on Iran's major ISPs within minutes. Rather than relying on a specific brand, focus on the protocol and on having multiple fallback routes per subscription. Full 2026 guide.

A DNS change alone is not enough. These AI tools are blocked on two layers: Iran's local filtering, and the provider's own geo-block on Iranian IP ranges. You must (1) bypass local filtering with a DPI-resistant protocol (Reality or Hysteria2) and (2) exit from a clean, non-Iranian IP in a supported country. Guides: ChatGPT · Gemini · Claude.

A successful handshake only means the tunnel opened; "no internet" after connecting is almost always a DNS or routing issue, not the VPN being blocked. Common causes: a DNS leak or blocked resolver, an overloaded exit node at peak hours, an iOS Private Relay conflict, or per-app routing rules excluding your browser. Switch server, set a clean DNS (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), and test on another network. Full troubleshooting.

Hamrah-e-Aval is the strictest operator for deep packet inspection and blocks detectable protocols sooner than the others. Correct order to try: VLESS + Reality on port 443 first, then Trojan, then Hysteria2. If it works on Wi-Fi but not on Hamrah-e-Aval data, the problem is the operator, not your config — refresh your subscription to pull fresh servers, or switch protocol. Hamrah-e-Aval troubleshooting.

Go to the homepage, pick a plan, register and pay. Your config and subscription link appear in your dashboard the moment payment confirms. Want to test first? Grab the free trial via our Telegram bot — no card required.

A traffic-based subscription (e.g. 50 GB or 100 GB) plus a subscription link you load into any V2Ray client. Our guarantee: until your traffic is fully used, if a server fails we replace your config for free.

Yes — this is one of our main use cases. Pay from abroad with crypto or card, then send the config or QR over WhatsApp/Telegram. Your family just installs V2RayNG on Android or Streisand on iOS and connects in one tap.

Three options: Zarinpal (Iranian bank cards), card-to-card rial transfers, and crypto (USDT on TRC20 and BTC). For international payments, crypto is the fastest path.

After picking the crypto option, you see the wallet address. Once sent, upload your TXID (transaction hash) or a screenshot, or both — one is enough. We confirm after network confirmation, usually within a few minutes.

Zarinpal is instant. After gateway confirmation you land on the receipt page and your config is live in your dashboard. If your account is charged but no config appears, ping Telegram support — resolved within minutes.

V2Ray is a proxy platform supporting multiple protocols (VLESS, VMess, Trojan) that disguises traffic as ordinary HTTPS. That makes it more durable in Iran than OpenVPN or WireGuard. Read the full V2Ray explainer.

Reality is a newer camouflage layer over VLESS that borrows a real website's TLS handshake (e.g. cloudflare.com). Deep packet inspection then can't tell the VPN apart from normal traffic. Currently the strongest option for Iran.

For HD streaming and gaming, VLESS + Reality offers the best mix of speed and stability. WireGuard is faster but less durable on Iran's national network. Each of our configs includes both Reality and WebSocket — switch fast if one slows down.

Install V2RayNG from the Play Store, tap + at the top, choose "Import config from clipboard" or "Import from QR", paste your subscription link, then tap the V icon — connected. Full walkthrough: Android install guide.

Streisand and Shadowrocket were removed from the Iranian App Store. You'll need a non-Iranian Apple ID (US works well) to install from that storefront. Streisand is free and our recommendation. See the iOS install guide.

Windows: download v2rayN from GitHub, paste your subscription, right-click a config and Set as active. Mac: V2Box or Hiddify are best. Guides: Windows | Mac.

Iranian carriers occasionally squeeze certain IP ranges. First refresh your subscription in-app (circle icon at top of the list) to pull fresh servers. If still flaky, switch from Reality to WebSocket, or message Telegram support for a replacement config.

Three quick checks: (1) Re-copy your subscription link from the dashboard — it may have rotated. (2) Set your phone clock to automatic (V2Ray is time-sensitive). (3) Fully close and reopen the app. Still nothing? Ping Telegram support.

Within 24 hours of purchase, if you've used less than 10% of your traffic, you can request a full refund. After that, our "until-traffic-runs-out" guarantee takes over: any broken config is replaced free until your purchased traffic is fully used. Full details: refund policy.
