This article explains how to import nodes into v2rayNG and why, when used by a team, some people can connect reliably while others experience frequent disconnections. It is intended for everyday users of v2rayNG on Android phones, especially those who need to import nodes for colleagues, family members, or a small team and troubleshoot connection issues.
1. Check your account and setup before importing
v2rayNG is just a client. Connection stability depends on factors such as node quality, network conditions, time synchronization, and whether your subscription has expired. For team use, first make sure everyone is using the same settings to avoid people changing their configurations independently.
- Make sure everyone is using the same subscription link or set of node QR codes.
- Set your phone to sync its time automatically. An incorrect time can cause TLS handshake failures.
- Avoid having multiple people use an account clearly marked “single device,” as this may trigger restrictions.
- Test both mobile data and Wi-Fi to determine whether the issue is with the local network.
This site provides free nodes and import guides, but free nodes may not always be available. For long-term team use, it’s especially important to have a backup plan and test connections.
2. Common ways to import nodes into v2rayNG
After opening v2rayNG, tap the “+” in the upper-right corner to see the available import methods. The most commonly used options are importing from the clipboard, scanning a QR code, and importing a subscription.
- Import a node link from the clipboard: First, copy a vmess, vless, trojan, or other share link. Return to v2rayNG, tap “+,” then select “Import from clipboard.” Once imported, the node will appear in the server list.
- Import by scanning a QR code: If your administrator sent you a QR code, tap “+,” select “Scan QR code,” then point your camera at the image or another device’s screen.
- Import a subscription link: Tap the menu in the upper-left corner and open “Subscription settings.” Tap “+” to add a subscription, paste in the subscription URL, and save it. Then return to the main screen and update the subscription.
- Select a node and tap the connect button in the lower-right corner. Once the key icon appears in the status bar, test a website or app.
3. How to improve stability when using v2rayNG as a team
The biggest risk when using v2rayNG as a team is inconsistent configurations. We recommend having one person manage the subscription while everyone else only updates it and avoids manually changing parameters such as the port, UUID, or encryption method. Node names should also be clear—for example, based on region, route, or purpose—to make troubleshooting easier.
If one person can connect but another can’t, first check whether they imported an outdated node, forgot to update the subscription, or enabled battery-saving restrictions. Android may restrict background network activity, so allow v2rayNG to run in the background in your system settings and disable excessive battery optimization for the app.
4. Connection troubleshooting checklist
- Tap the connection test in the upper-right corner. If it times out, try another node from the same subscription.
- Check that the proxy mode is set correctly. Common options include “Bypass LAN and mainland China addresses” or global mode for testing.
- If the subscription won’t update, check that the link is complete and that you haven’t copied any extra spaces.
- If multiple people using the same account run into problems, temporarily disconnect some devices and try again.
- Avoid repeatedly importing duplicate nodes; a cluttered list makes it easy to select an outdated configuration by mistake.
In short, importing nodes into v2rayNG is straightforward. The key is for everyone on the team to use the same valid subscription, follow the same update steps, and, when problems arise, first determine whether the node has stopped working, the local network is having issues, or the account or device environment is restricted. This is more likely to keep connections stable than simply switching clients over and over.
