How to Import Nodes in v2rayNG: Stable Configuration Guide for Teams

This article explains “how to import nodes into v2rayNG” and why, when several people on a team use the same nodes, some have a stable connection while others experience frequent dropouts. Follow the steps below to import nodes, enable a subscription, and apply consistent settings to reduce connection issues caused by differences in account environments.

1. Standardize your team’s setup before importing

v2rayNG is a popular Android client for V2Ray/VLESS/VMess. When multiple people on a team use it, stability depends not only on the nodes themselves, but also on the client version, network conditions, proxy mode, and subscription update frequency. We recommend standardizing the following settings first:

• Install v2rayNG from the same source whenever possible to avoid feature differences between older versions.
• Make sure your phone’s time is set to sync automatically. An incorrect time can cause TLS connection failures.
• Avoid having multiple team members repeatedly edit the same node configuration. Use a subscription to distribute settings instead.
• If you’re using our free nodes, test them with a small group before sharing them with the whole team.

2. Manually import a single node into v2rayNG

If you have a link such as vmess://, vless://, or trojan://, you can import it directly. Follow these steps:

1. Open v2rayNG and tap “+” in the upper-right corner.
2. Select “Import config from clipboard” or “Scan QR code.”
3. After importing, the new node will appear in the list. Tap it to select it.
4. Tap the circular button in the lower-right corner to connect.
5. The first time you connect, your phone will ask for VPN permission. Tap Allow.

Once connected, open a browser and visit a commonly used website to test the connection. If the node doesn’t appear after importing, the link may be incomplete, may contain extra spaces, or may use a protocol format unsupported by your current version.

3. Import a subscription for easier team management

For teams, we recommend importing a subscription link. The administrator can update the subscription, and team members can sync the changes with a tap instead of copying nodes one by one. Follow these steps:

1. Open v2rayNG and tap the menu in the upper-left corner.
2. Go to “Subscription settings.”
3. Tap “+” in the upper-right corner and enter the team name or purpose as the remark.
4. Paste the subscription URL into the address field and save.
5. Return to the main screen and select “Update subscription” from the menu.

Once the update is complete, the nodes will appear in the list. Agree on a regular update time—for example, once before you start using the service each day—to avoid mistaking an outdated configuration for an “unstable node.”

4. How node imports affect account environment stability

Many people blame every disconnection on the node, but inconsistent device settings are a common cause of problems when a team is involved. For example, battery-saving restrictions may close v2rayNG in the background; running another proxy app at the same time may cause routing conflicts; and frequently switching networks can interrupt the connection when a phone moves from Wi-Fi to mobile data.

For better stability, have the team use the same mode: either global proxy or bypass mainland China addresses. Don’t let everyone switch modes at will. In v2rayNG’s routing settings, “Bypass mainland China addresses” is a good default for most users: domestic apps connect directly, while overseas traffic goes through the proxy, making day-to-day use more predictable.

5. Quick troubleshooting for connection failures

• Timeout message: Try another node in the same subscription, or check whether your current network restricts proxy connections.
• Certificate/TLS error: Check your phone’s time, update v2rayNG, and try again.
• Connected but webpages won’t load: Switch routing modes or close any other VPN or accelerator apps.
• Only some people are affected: Have them delete old nodes and update the subscription again to rule out local cache issues.

In short, importing nodes into v2rayNG is straightforward. For team use, focus on a consistent client, subscription, and routing policy. This helps prevent different experiences with the same node and makes future troubleshooting easier.
