How to Configure a WS TLS Node: Import It into the Team Edition Client and Check Its Stability

This article explains “how to configure a WS TLS node” and why, when multiple team members use the same node, some have a stable connection while others experience frequent disconnects. Follow the steps below to import a WS+TLS node into Clash, V2RayN, or sing-box, then improve account environment stability by standardizing settings, updating subscriptions, and performing basic troubleshooting.

1. Understand the information required for a WS TLS node

WS TLS usually refers to WebSocket transport with TLS encryption, commonly used with protocols such as VLESS and VMess. Before configuring a node, make sure you have all the necessary information. When sharing details with a team, be sure not to copy only part of the link.

• Server address: A domain name or IP address. Teams are advised to use a domain name where possible.
• Port: Commonly 443, but use the port specified in the node details.
• UUID or user ID: This may differ for each account, so don’t mix them up.
• Transport: Select ws. Do not select tcp or grpc by mistake.
• TLS: Enable it, and make sure SNI/Server Name is entered correctly.
• WS Path: The path must match exactly, for example, /ray or /ws. Pay attention to capitalization.

If you’re using the free nodes collected on this site, we recommend copying the complete share link or subscription URL to reduce the chance of entering the Path or SNI incorrectly.

2. Configure a WS TLS node in the Clash client

1. Install Clash Verge, Clash for Windows, or a compatible mobile client.
2. Open “Config/Profiles” and select “Import Subscription” or “Import from Clipboard.”
3. For a subscription URL, paste it and update. For a link to a single node, import it directly.
4. Go to “Proxy/Proxies” and select the node. You can start with “Rule” or “Global” mode for testing.
5. Open a browser and visit a frequently used website. Once it loads successfully, share the node with your team.

For team use, we recommend having an administrator maintain a shared subscription URL rather than repeatedly sending individual nodes in a group chat. That way, when a node stops working or its settings change, members only need to be reminded to update the subscription.

3. Key settings to enter manually in V2RayN and sing-box

In V2RayN, when adding a VLESS/VMess server, set the transport protocol to ws and the security type to tls. Enter the address, port, UUID, Path, and Host/SNI as specified in the node details. Once saved, right-click the node, enable the system proxy, and test the connection.

sing-box clients typically import configurations from a file or subscription. We don’t recommend manually writing a complete JSON configuration unless you’re an advanced user. Instead, use a subscription converter that supports sing-box or the client’s built-in import feature. After importing, check these three settings in particular: whether TLS is enabled, whether server_name is correct, and whether transport is set to websocket.

4. How WS TLS relates to account environment stability

WS TLS isn’t “more stable just because it’s more complex.” Stability depends more on consistent settings, network conditions, and how accounts are used. When multiple team members use the same setup, these are the most common issues:

• Multiple users sharing the same UUID: This may trigger server-side restrictions or cause their connections to interfere with one another.
• Significant differences in client versions: Older versions may not support newer protocol fields.
• Incorrect SNI or Path: The node may import successfully but fail to connect or fail the latency test.
• Frequent network changes: Company Wi-Fi, mobile hotspots, and overseas network policies can all produce different results.

We recommend that teams establish a few simple guidelines: use the same client version and subscription URL, don’t modify node settings without authorization, and share a screenshot of the configuration summary and error message when issues arise instead of repeatedly reinstalling the client.

5. Quick troubleshooting for connection failures

• Update the subscription first, then select the node again and test it.
• Make sure the system time is correct. An incorrect clock can cause the TLS handshake to fail.
• Check that the Path, SNI, and port match the original node details.
• Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to determine whether the local network is restricting the connection.
• Close other proxies, accelerators, or security software and try again.

If only one team member can’t connect, the problem is more likely to be their local proxy settings, DNS, system time, or client version. If everyone loses access at the same time, the node may be down or the subscription may need updating. Following this approach can help you quickly identify the real cause of WS TLS configuration and team stability issues.
