About · HitRay on the desktop
HitRay is a VPN client that operates without requiring account signup or personal information: a straightforward privacy tool for protecting traffic on home, mobile, or public networks. Running HitRay on a PC expands that protection to your desktop workloads, file transfers, and stationary browsing sessions where keyboard and mouse control make configuration adjustments faster. The app imports a single configuration link from your VPN provider and applies all settings automatically, keeping the first-run process lean and focused on getting connected rather than filling out forms.
HitRay brings the link-based VPN model to desktop, eliminating the friction of account creation while maintaining the same core function: encrypting traffic through supported protocols and keeping logs off the device. For users accustomed to the mobile experience, the PC version preserves that simplicity while adding the benefit of managing per-app routing and connection settings from a full keyboard interface.
Starting a Session with HitRay
When HitRay launches on your computer, the entry point mirrors the mobile workflow. Import your configuration link into the app, and HitRay automatically loads the provider settings without requiring you to manually input servers, keys, or credentials. The interface shows connection status and allows you to toggle the VPN active across all traffic or configure which applications route through the tunnel and which connect directly. Many new users find this per-app routing feature valuable early on: you can designate streaming apps, browsers, or file managers to use the tunnel while leaving others untouched, adapting the behavior as your needs shift during the session.
Multi-Protocol Flexibility for Changing Conditions
HitRay supports both VLESS powered by X-Ray Core and WireGuard, two distinct tunneling protocols. This flexibility matters when your primary provider configuration becomes unstable or when you switch between network environments: office WiFi, home broadband, or tethered mobile data all present different routing and filtering challenges. Letting you select between protocols means you can troubleshoot a sluggish connection by switching standards without abandoning the app or hunting for a different VPN altogether. A user might find WireGuard more stable at the office yet prefer VLESS for home streaming, and HitRay lets that choice live within a single client rather than forcing a binary pick at installation time.
Encryption and Speed on Desktop Networks
Running HitRay on a PC brings the benefit of consistent, uninterrupted sessions during resource-intensive tasks, downloading large files, joining video calls, or streaming over WiFi. The app employs optimized encryption designed to avoid throttling and preserve throughput, which matters more on a stationary computer where you are holding a long-lived connection rather than switching networks every few minutes as a phone user might. Desktop also lets you keep the app window open for real-time status checks and protocol switching without draining battery or fragmenting attention across multiple apps.
No Personal Data, Portable Setup
Because HitRay requires only a configuration link and no signup credentials, moving the app between computers or reinstalling it on your laptop is frictionless: paste the link, connect, done. There are no stored usernames, passwords, or account recovery questions to manage. For users who value privacy, this model means the app itself holds no personal identifying details, and the no-logs approach within the client means your traffic metadata is not persisted locally. Download HitRay for Windows and you replicate the same privacy posture across your desktop environment without any additional setup overhead or data exposure.

FAQ · HitRay
FAQ
Do I need an account to use HitRay on PC?
No. HitRay connects using a configuration link provided by your VPN provider and applies settings automatically. There is no signup, no email, and no personal details required to start the client.
Can I choose which apps route through the VPN on my computer?
Yes. HitRay's per-app VPN routing lets you select which programs use the tunnel and which connect directly. You can adjust these assignments at any time during a session.
What happens if my connection becomes unstable?
HitRay supports both VLESS and WireGuard protocols. If one becomes unreliable, you can switch to the other protocol without closing the app: useful when moving between different network conditions or troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Will HitRay keep logs of my activity?
HitRay follows a no-logs approach within the app and does not collect personal information. Your traffic is encrypted through the supported protocols, and the client does not persist metadata about your browsing or connections.
Is HitRay available for both Windows and Mac?
HitRay is built for Android and Windows environments. Check with your VPN provider or the official channels to confirm current platform support before downloading, as availability may vary.
