Android first: a client and a link
On Android a VPN is two things: a free client app that can read a VLESS link, and the link itself. Install a client, ask the Iskele bot in Telegram for a link, paste it into the client and accept Android's request to set up a VPN connection. After that you pick a city in the app and tap connect.
The same link then goes onto every other screen you own, in much the same way. There is no account to create and the service sets no limit on devices, so the order in which you add them does not matter.
Which screen needs what
- An Android phone needs a client from the apps page and Android's permission to run a VPN connection, which it asks for once.
- An iPhone needs a client from the App Store and the same link, and the iPhone page compares three clients that can read it.
- A Windows or Mac laptop needs a desktop client, and there is a page for each system and one for laptops in general.
- An Android TV box can run a client of its own if the box allows installs, and the page on TVs covers what to look for.
- A tablet works like a phone, with a note on keeping a child's tablet on a link you hold yourself.
- A router is for devices that cannot run an app at all. It is the last resort rather than the first, and its page says why.
- Games consoles and mobile games have pages of their own, since delay matters more there than on a page load.
- A VPN APK is a file you install by hand, and a separate page lists the checks to make before you do.
Why one link can serve all of them
The link is a personal subscription, not a licence per device. Your phone, laptop, tablet and TV box can use it at the same moment, and the service does not count them. The other side of that is that the link behaves like a key: whoever holds a copy can use it. Keep it in your own chat with the bot and in your own apps, not in a group chat where it will be passed around.
Android habits worth knowing in Turkey
Android lets you mark a VPN as always-on and, under that, block any traffic that is not going through the tunnel. It suits hotel and cafe Wi-Fi, where you join and leave networks all day, and it is the setting to look for if the tunnel seems to drop between the flat's Wi-Fi and mobile data. Phone makers label these options differently, so search the settings for VPN.
Battery saving is the other usual culprit. A phone that puts apps to sleep can stop the client in the background, so exclude it from battery optimisation if it keeps disconnecting overnight.
Limits that travel with the link from device to device
The tunnel changes how your traffic travels and nothing more. It does not make a slow line fast, it does not hide the account you log in with, and the five servers, in Sofia, Athens, Bucharest, Munich and Rotterdam, are all outside Turkey, so there is no Turkish address to pick.
Phones and tablets handed out by a school or an employer run under that organisation's policy, and a managed device may refuse extra apps or VPN profiles altogether. The policy is theirs to set and yours to follow, alongside the law where you are, and both change. Nothing on this page asks you to buy more than the one link, which reads the same in every client, and a client that misbehaves can be swapped without touching it. A page like this is written by the link's own seller, so check each item against your own setup instead of taking it on trust.
Questions
How old can my Android phone be?
There is no limit on our side. The limit comes from the client you choose, and each client's store page states the lowest Android version it supports, so read that before installing. If one will not install, try another, because the link reads the same in every one.
Why does the client stop working after the phone has sat idle for a while?
Android's battery saving is the usual cause: it puts idle apps to sleep, and a client is an app too. Exclude it from battery optimisation and switch on the always-on option in the VPN settings. If it still stops, some phone makers are stricter than others, so look for a second battery menu.
I changed phones. What happens to my link?
The link, not the phone, is what counts. Put a client on the new handset and add the same link there, and you are done, since no device slot needs freeing. If you cannot find the link, look back through your chat with the Iskele bot, where it was sent.
Does it matter that my phone is on mobile data and my laptop on Wi-Fi?
Both can run at once. The same link goes into both, and the service does not tie one device's connection to the other's, so one can sit on data while the other uses Wi-Fi. How each one performs is decided by its own line.
Should a flatmate get a link of their own?
If you do not know them well, yes. Your link has no device limit, so sharing works technically, but it is personal: whoever holds a copy can use it, and you cannot tell who does. Keep it inside a household you trust.
Ask the bot, paste the link, connect. Paying comes only after the free days.
