Key point

Useful routines for settings, backups and checks before and after updates.

Check before you begin

Save a known-good configuration first and run the initial test on one stable network.

Follow this order

  1. 01Back up the current configuration and note one node that works.
  2. 02Confirm the client version, system architecture and download source.
  3. 03Change only one setting at a time, then test the connection again.
  4. 04Open a familiar website and inspect the log for repeated errors.

How to verify the result

The client should start normally, refresh the subscription, establish a real node connection and route direct and proxied traffic as expected.

Completion checklistThe client core starts normallySubscription time and node list look correctDirect and proxied pages both pass a testThe log has no continuously repeated errors

What to avoid

Do not change several options without a backup, and do not judge a route by its name or a single Ping result. Cross-check important releases with project release information.
