Happ on Windows: Install and Connect Happ Plus

The Happ app for Windows is a desktop client built on Xray-core that reaches its servers using a Happ Plus subscription key from the Telegram bot. Here's the setup in order.

Step 1. Download the installer

Open the Windows download page and grab the installer. Once it's downloaded, run it and work through the standard setup wizard on your computer.

Step 2. Get a Happ Plus key from the Telegram bot

Open the service's Telegram bot and get a Happ Plus access key or subscription link. Copy it ahead of time — you'll need it right after the app's first launch.

Step 3. Link the key to the app

Launch Happ on Windows, open the add-subscription section, and paste the link from your clipboard. The app processes it and builds a connection profile with a list of available servers.

Step 4. Connect to a server

Pick a server from the list — the closest one geographically usually means the lowest latency — and click connect. On first launch Windows may show a system prompt to install a VPN driver, which you'll need to approve.

Advanced options for experienced users

The Windows app also supports finer controls, including split tunneling — routing part of your traffic directly and part through the VPN — plus support for adding your own connection configurations.
