What is different by 2026
Only the trial is free. The first 10 days come with the full service and no card, and after that the service is paid. There is no permanent free tier, no ad-funded version and no endless free mode behind the link.
For the reader that has one practical meaning: use the days to test, and decide before they end whether the price in the bot suits you.
Before and now
- Before: free apps were common, paid for by ads, data sale or crowded servers. Now: the trial comes from the bot as a link, and the cost of running servers is covered by paid plans.
- Before: you opened a store page and installed the VPN app itself. Now: the VPN is a link, and the free Happ app is the only app that opens it.
- Before: an email address and a password to begin. Now: neither, only Telegram.
- Before: one login shared by anyone. Now: up to five devices on one link.
- Before: auto-renewal hidden in a store subscription. Now: no auto-renewal, each period is paid in the bot with cryptocurrency.
What follows for you
Traffic is not capped during the trial, and the servers are the same as in a paid period: Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney and Frankfurt. When the days are over the link stops connecting, and Happ and your chat with the bot stay where they are.
Free download searches turn up many apps, and the app itself is rarely the issue; the issue is what pays for it. If you cannot see what pays for a service, it is probably you or your data. A paid plan has the clearest answer; its price list lives on the front page and inside the bot, not on this page.
What did not change
A tunnel still does not fix a weak password, a risky app or a network with its own rules. It still does not give you an Indonesian address, because there is no server in Indonesia, and it does not unlock anything a service or a rights holder restricts where you live. What is allowed varies from country to country and over time, so look up the rules that cover you and every service you use.
One more thing for reading this page: we sell the paid plans, so we have an interest in the trial turning into a purchase. The sensible response is to try, measure on your own phone, and walk away if it does not help.
Starting the trial on Android in four steps
In Telegram, message the bot and request your trial link. It replies with a subscription link in about a minute.
Install Happ on the phone and copy the link.
Add the link in Happ from the clipboard and accept the Android prompt about a VPN connection once.
Connect, and look for the key icon in the status bar. Without it nothing goes through the tunnel.
Questions
Does the trial ask for a card or an email?
Neither. The only thing you need is Telegram, because the bot issues the link there. The site has no sign-up, so nothing exists to register.
What exactly stops after day ten?
The link stops connecting and no payment is taken, since nothing renews. To continue, you buy a period in the bot with cryptocurrency and use the link it returns.
Does the trial work on a laptop as well as a phone?
Yes, within the limit of five devices on one link, with Happ on each. The trial does not count differently from a paid period.
Why not just install a free app from a store?
You can, but ask what funds it. Adverts, sold usage data or an overcrowded server are common answers. Here the trade is stated: free for a fixed time, then paid.
Can I still try Hiddify or v2rayNG with the trial link?
They will show one entry, "App not supported", and no servers. The subscription limits devices, and those apps do not send a device ID. Happ does.
Free to start and nothing to sign up for. Crypto changes hands only if you decide to continue.
