Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using VLESS WebSocket on Windows.

Can I use the same VLESS WebSocket account on many devices?

It is better to use one account for one device only, especially when the server applies connection limits.

Why does my VLESS WebSocket account stop working after a few days?

RaceVPN free accounts have an expiration period. Create a new account when the previous one has expired.

What should I check if VLESS WebSocket does not connect?

Check the account expiry, server status, imported URL, client support, and whether system proxy or tunnel mode is enabled.
