Step-by-step (~5 minutes first time)

Choose 'Import config from Clipboard'.

Back to jiangren.com.au → Account → VPN tab
Tap '🔗 Copy SS URL'.

Pick the lowest latency (local users → Australia; long-distance → singapore > japan > korea).

Android troubleshooting
Import fails / not recognised
Make sure the copied URL starts with `ss://`. SSR clients won't recognise SS URLs — stick to v2rayNG or Shadowsocks Android.
Connected but some apps can't reach the internet
v2rayNG Settings → 'Per-app proxy' → switch to 'Global'. Or whitelist Chrome and your study apps.
Connection occasionally unstable
Try singapore region first. If it stays unreachable long-term, email contact@jiangren.com.au — we're evaluating obfs / V2Ray protocol routes.
v2rayNG from Google Play doesn't work
Play Store version is sometimes outdated or stripped — install the latest .apk from GitHub Release instead.
Links go to official sources. If GitHub is slow or unreachable in your region, email contact@jiangren.com.au for mirrors.
