Hysteria runs on a modified QUIC protocol and supports SOCKS5, HTTP proxy, UDP/TCP forwarding, and Linux TProxy modes. This guide explains how to set up the Hysteria protocol on a Linux VPS using NekoBox for Windows OS. This article assumes the following: - You have a Debian/Ubuntu [VPS from is\*hosting](https://ishosting.com/en/vpn?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=seo) with SSH and root access. - The [Nekobox/Nekoray app for Windows](https://github.com/Matsuridayo/nekoray/releases) nekoray-actual-version-windows64.zip is installed on your device. - In this case, you can skip straight to client configuration. - If any of the above prerequisites are not met, you may still use this guide—just follow most steps with minor adjustments as needed. ### Setting Up Clients To set up a Hysteria protocol connection in the NekoBox app, follow these steps: 1. Before starting, copy the server link (e.g., hy2://xxxxxxxxx@IP:443) from the email you received after order activation. 2. Open the **NekoBox** app and select **Server**. ![undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-2528-AM](https://help.ishosting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-2528-AM.png?width=670&height=526&name=undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-2528-AM.png) 3. From the drop-down list, select **Add profile from clipboard**. 4. The first Hysteria 2 profile will appear in the NekoBox app window. To launch it, check the **Tun Mode** box to connect all apps on the device to the VPN, or check the **System Proxy Mode** box to connect only browsers to the VPN. ![undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-08-0014-AM](https://help.ishosting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-08-0014-AM.png?width=670&height=528&name=undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-08-0014-AM.png) 5. To fill in the profile details, double-click it with the left mouse button. 6. Fill in the required profile information, which you received in the email immediately after activating your order: - **Name**: Connection name - **Address**: Server address: \*\*.\*\*\*.\*\*\*.\*\* - **Port**: 443 - **Password**: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Check the **Disable SNI** and the **Allow insecure** boxes → click **OK**.  ![undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-6471-AM](https://help.ishosting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-6471-AM.png?width=514&height=516&name=undefined-Dec-15-2025-10-14-07-6471-AM.png) 7.
