Where to get a key or subscription for Happ

What Happ needs to connect

Happ is a client: it sets up a protected connection to a server, but it has no servers. On the “How to buy or get a server” page of the happ.su documentation, the developer says it plainly: Happ does not provide or sell access to servers.

After installation, the server list in Happ is empty. To connect, you add one of two things to the app:

• a key — a string with the parameters of one server, for example vless://…;
• a subscription — a link Happ uses to download the service's server list.

Both are issued by whoever runs the servers.

Key or subscription: the difference for Happ

A subscription comes in two kinds. A regular one is a web address where the servers are listed in the open. An encrypted one starts with happ://crypto: the subscription address and server parameters are hidden, and they cannot be viewed or forwarded. How to add both is covered in How to add a subscription to Happ.

Where to get a key for Happ

• From a VPN service. You pay for access, and the service issues a subscription or a key. This is the main option for a private user: the service runs the servers, replaces blocked ones and is responsible for them working.
• From an administrator at work. Companies that give employees access to internal resources through Xray servers issue the subscription themselves. The employer sets the terms of use.
• In the panel of your own server. If you rent a server and install a management panel on it, such as 3X-UI or Remnawave, keys and subscription links are created in that panel.

Channels and chats with free keys are not a source: such keys live for a few days, and the server owner sees your traffic. Why — in VPN keys.

Does a Happ subscription cost money?

Happ is free on every platform. Paid, trial or corporate access is decided by whoever runs the servers: the service sets the price, term and limits, and Happ only displays them.

The subscription refresh button in Happ does not pay for or extend anything. It downloads a fresh server list. If your access has expired, renew it with the service: on its website, in your account or in its bot.

Does Happ have a trial period

The app has no trial — it is entirely free. Trial access to servers is offered by services, and each sets its own terms: duration, traffic limit, paid or free. Check them on the service's website.

What to check with a service before paying

• Protocol. A subscription on VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks or Hysteria2 works in Happ. Happ does not read WireGuard configurations: such a service will not work with Happ.
• Number of devices. How many phones, computers and TVs work on one subscription at the same time.
• Traffic. Unlimited or a monthly limit in gigabytes.
• Term. How many days access lasts and what happens when it ends.
• Refund. Whether there is one and within what period.
• Public offer. The terms are written in a public document on the website, not in a seller's message.
• Automatic card charges. Whether the service charges you automatically or you renew yourself.
• Support. Where to write if the subscription stops working.

“Official Happ keys” are a scam

The Happ developer does not sell keys or subscriptions: not on its website and not through Telegram bots. A bot or channel that calls itself an “official seller of Happ keys” is impersonating the developer. Such sellers take money for a key that does not work or is cut off after a few days. How to check a seller and avoid a fake Happ — in Happ disappeared from the App Store.

Can you share a key with others

Technically, a key is a pass: whoever adds it connects to the server in your name. The service counts all those connections as yours and limits them by the number of devices in your plan. Share a key and you give away part of your limit; if the key spreads further, the service will disable it.

An encrypted subscription cannot be shared: Happ does not show its address or server parameters, and the app does not let you share a server from a hidden subscription. To connect your second device, add the subscription on it the same way as on the first.

A MaskNet subscription for Happ

• The key is built into the subscription. The subscription is added to Happ with the “Add subscription” button in your account, and to a second phone, tablet or laptop with the QR code from your account. The key is not issued as text. To a TV, the subscription is sent from a phone: open Happ on the TV — it shows a QR code. Scan it in Happ on the phone where the MaskNet subscription is already added.
• The configuration is encrypted. It cannot be opened, copied or handed out.
• Purchase without registration. Enter your email at checkout — your account is created on it.
• No automatic card charges. Renewal happens only when you decide.
• Refund within 30 days of payment.
• Works under whitelists.
• Cascade connection. Entry through a MaskNet server in Russia, exit in the chosen location. The operator sees only the connection to the Russian server.
• 10 locations, 3, 5 or 10 devices on one subscription.

The subscription works in both Happ and INCY.
