# NekoBox

In this tutorial you will learn how to use NekoBox VPN client on android devices.

NekoBox is a VPN client supporting a variety of VPN protocols, and we will be using this handy client to use our main VPN protocols on android devices, including VLess, VMess, and Trojan.

## How to install and use NekoBox:

1. Go to NekoBox's GitHub page by clicking the button below. Download the APK that is compatible with your device. (In most cases, arm64-v8a version is compatible unless you have an old smartphone.)

9. If done **properly**, the UI should then turn **blue** and you should be brought back to the main screen of the app.

10. Copy the VPN URL of your of the protocol of your choice (**VMess**, **VLess** and/or **Trojan**) from below:

{% if users[item].vless is defined %}
```
{{ users[item].vless }}
```
{% endif %}

{% if users[item].vmess is defined %}
```
{{ users[item].vmess }}
```
{% endif %}

{% if users[item].trojan is defined %}
```
{{ users[item].trojan }}
```
{% endif %}

11. In the app, click on the + icon on at the top of the interface, and select **“Import from Clipboard”**. (Note: If it's imported successfully but the VPN profle doesn't appear in the list of your VPN profiles, close the app and open it again, and it will appear in the list.)
