   • Paste your share link (vmess://, vless://) or fill in manually.

2. Set routing mode

   • Global – all traffic through proxy.
   • PAC – only listed sites (auto-download PAC).
   • Manual – browser/proxy-capable apps only.

3. Enable system proxy (if needed)

   • Check “Set system proxy” or configure browser to use 127.0.0.1:10808 (HTTP) / 10809 (SOCKS5).
