Connecting Astro proxies via Xray
17 August 2026
Connecting an Astro proxy via the Xray can help in situations where a standard proxy connection does not work due to blocks or restrictions imposed by the internet service provider.
This connection method is worth trying if you are experiencing problems with a standard proxy connection and suspect that the connection is being blocked by your ISP.
This guide shows how to connect an Astro proxy via Xray using two applications – v2RayTun and Happ. Both applications are available for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.

Is your proxy being blocked by your ISP and do you want to try connecting via Xray?
Sign up for Astro and get $3 to test the service. This is enough to create a proxy, try connecting via Xray, and check how it works on your device.
Key features of connecting a proxy via Xray
- Connection through a dedicated application. To use this method, you need software that supports the Xray. This guide provides examples of connecting through v2RayTun and Happ.
- System-wide proxy connection. When connected in tunnel mode, all internet traffic from the device is routed through the proxy, rather than only the traffic from a specific application or browser.
- Bypassing a block is not guaranteed. The effectiveness of this method depends on the specific type of block. ISPs are constantly improving their proxy detection and blocking methods, so Xray may not work in every case.
Where can I copy the proxy configuration key for connecting via Xray?
Go to the port management section. To copy the key, click the link indicated by the arrow.
⚠️ Important
Do not manually modify the configuration key. After copying the Astro configuration key, paste it into the application in its entirety, without making any changes. All the necessary connection parameters are already included in the configuration.

Additional connection details
For connecting through other applications that support Xray (for example, v2Box).
If the proxy does not work, either enable tunnel mode (if the option is available) or find the DNS settings and specify the following DNS server:
Type: DoU (or UDP)
Address: 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
Alternatively, if the option is available, select a preset DNS configuration with the type DoU (DNS Over UDP).
