Local Network Connections

The "Allow LAN Connections" feature lets you share your VPN connection with other devices on the same local network or connected to the same Wi-Fi. This is convenient if you want to use one VPN connection on multiple devices — for example, on a TV, console, or another computer.

---

1. How to enable the feature

1. Open the Happ Settings.

2. Go to Advanced Settings.

3. Activate the "Allow LAN Connections" option.

4. Connect to a VPN server in the Happ app.

After activation, additional parameters will appear:

• Current IP — the local IP address of the device (e.g., 192.168.1.100);

• SOCKS5 Port — for connecting via SOCKS proxy (e.g., 10808);

• HTTP Port — for connecting via HTTP proxy (e.g., 10809).

⚠️ When this feature is disabled (or the VPN connection is lost), connected devices will lose VPN access.

3. Using built-in proxy settings in individual applications

Some applications (on all platforms — Windows, macOS, Android, Linux) have their own proxy settings. If the system proxy is unavailable or you need individual configuration, set up the proxy directly in the required program. This method is especially convenient if you only need a proxy for specific applications — for example, browsers.

Firefox configuration example

1. Open Settings → General → Network Settings.

2. Click Settings….

3. Select Manual proxy configuration.

4. Specify:

   • SOCKS5 Host: current IP (e.g., 192.168.1.100);

   • Port: SOCKS5 port (e.g., 10808).

5. Click OK.

4. Common LAN connection errors

Symptom	Possible cause	What to do
Other device cannot see IP	Devices are on different networks/subnets (e.g., 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi)	Connect both devices to the same subnet (the same Wi-Fi network)
Connection cannot be established	Firewall is blocking incoming connections	Allow incoming connections for Happ app in firewall settings
Proxy not working on Android TV	No system proxy support	Use a third-party app (e.g., Happ) or configure proxy in each application
Port is occupied	Port is used by another process	Change the port in Happ settings
VPN is on but IP is unavailable	Internet connection via mobile network or guest network isolation	Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network
