This article explains “how to import nodes into v2rayNG” and how teams can reduce disconnections, confusion, and account issues. It’s intended for users who need to import V2Ray/VLESS/VMess/Trojan nodes on Android phones, or distribute subscription links to teammates.
1. Get your node information ready
v2rayNG supports two common import methods: individual node links and subscription links. Individual node links usually start with vmess://, vless://, or trojan://. A subscription link is generally an https address that contains multiple nodes. For team use, subscriptions are recommended: when you change nodes or adjust routes later, you only need to update the subscription instead of having everyone add nodes manually again.
If you’re using free nodes provided by this site, copy the entire link first to avoid import failures caused by accidentally missing characters. Don’t share node links publicly or outside your group, as heavy abuse can affect their availability.
2. How to import nodes into v2rayNG
- Install and open v2rayNG on your Android phone. We recommend getting the client from a trusted app store or the project’s release page.
- For an individual node, copy the complete node link, return to v2rayNG, tap “+” in the upper-right corner, and select “Import from clipboard.”
- For a subscription link, tap the menu in the upper-left corner, open “Subscription group settings,” tap “+,” and enter a label and the subscription address.
- After saving, return to the main screen, tap the menu in the upper-right corner, and select “Update subscriptions.”
- Choose a node from the list with low latency and a clear name, then tap the connect button in the lower-right corner.
- The first time you connect, a VPN permission prompt will appear. Tap Allow, then use a browser to check whether websites load.
If the list is empty after importing, first check whether the link is complete, whether it contains spaces, whether the subscription address requires a login, and whether your phone’s network can access it.
3. Why team use can affect account stability
Many people assume that knowing how to import nodes is all they need for reliable use, but team settings are more prone to problems. If multiple people use the same node at once, frequently switch between countries or regions, or log in to the same work account from IP addresses that change significantly, platforms may trigger security checks. Here, “account stability” mainly means keeping the login IP, region, device, and access patterns as consistent as possible.
- Don’t have everyone share the same work account: simultaneous logins from different locations can easily be flagged as suspicious.
- Each team member should stick to the same set of nodes as much as possible and avoid repeatedly switching regions throughout the day.
- Create separate subscription groups for different teams to prevent people from accidentally selecting an unsuitable route.
- Include the region, purpose, and date in node names to make troubleshooting and coordination easier.
4. Troubleshooting connection and import issues
If you can’t connect, check the following in order: first, make sure your phone’s local network is working; then, in v2rayNG, tap “Test all configurations for connectivity.” If only one node fails, try another. If all nodes fail, check whether the subscription has expired, whether your client’s clock is accurate, and whether another VPN or proxy app is enabled.
You can also check the “Routing” mode in settings. Most users can select “Bypass LAN and mainland China addresses” to access commonly used websites in China while avoiding unnecessary proxy traffic. If an app isn’t using the proxy, check whether per-app proxy settings have been accidentally disabled.
5. Recommendations for team administrators
When distributing nodes to a team, it’s best to share only the subscription link and brief instructions, rather than asking everyone to manage a pile of separate nodes. Test new routes with a small group first, then notify members to update their subscriptions. For important accounts, keep the same people, devices, and regional nodes whenever possible. Importing nodes into v2rayNG is straightforward, but consistent management and avoiding frequent changes are key to reliable use.
