Installation and Configuration
Step 1: Download and Install V2RayA
First, download V2RayA from the GitHub releases page. You can download the V2RayA version 1.5 installer from this link.
Right click the installer and select "Run as administrator". When prompted with Windows protection, click "More Info" then select "Run Anyway".
💡 Security Note: Windows SmartScreen may warn about the installer. This is normal for less common software. V2RayA is open-source and safe to use.
Step 2: Complete Installation
Click next on the installer, approve the install location and wait a moment for the install to complete.
After installing V2RayA through the installer, V2RayA will run as a service that you can access through your web browser. You can open the admin page by running the desktop shortcut or by visiting http://127.0.0.1:2017 directly.
📝 Service Information:
- V2RayA runs as a Windows service (auto-starts with Windows)
- Web interface accessible at: http://127.0.0.1:2017
- Default service name: v2rayA
- Can be managed via Windows Services (services.msc)
Step 3: Access V2RayA Web Interface
Open a browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:2017 to access the V2RayA admin menu. Create a username and password to access this web UI. This information is stored locally on your computer.
🔒 Security Tip: Use a strong password for the web interface. While it's only accessible locally, it controls your proxy settings.
Step 4: Create New Server Profile
To import a TorGuard SSL proxy server, click the Create button:
Step 5: Configure TorGuard SSL Proxy
Next, click the HTTP tab and configure as follows:
- Protocol: HTTPS
- Name: TorGuard server location (e.g., "TorGuard Canada")
For Anonymous VPN Service:
- Host: Choose from SSL server page
- Example: ca.secureconnect.me (Canada)
For Anonymous Premium Proxy Service:
- Host: Choose from Premium SSL servers page
- Example: ca.stealthtunnel.net (Canada)
- Port: 7070 (or any port from the server page)
- Username: Your TorGuard service username
- Password: Your TorGuard service password
Click the Save and Apply button.
📍 Available Ports: TorGuard SSL proxies support multiple ports: 7070, 8080, 443, and others. Use alternative ports if 7070 is blocked.
Step 6: Configure Proxy Settings
Click the Settings button in the top right corner and configure:
- Transparent proxy: Proxy All Traffic
- Transparent proxy implementation: System Proxy
- Prevent DNS spoofing: Forward DNS Requests
Click the Save and Apply button.
🔧 Settings Explained:
- Proxy All Traffic: Routes all system traffic through the proxy
- System Proxy: Sets Windows system proxy settings automatically
- Forward DNS: Prevents DNS leaks by routing DNS through proxy
Step 7: Connect to Proxy
Now you are ready to connect. Click the Select button on the newly added SSL proxy server. Then in the top left click the Ready button to connect. When you see the "Running" message, your proxy is connected.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Cannot Access V2RayA Web Interface
Solution:
- Check if V2RayA service is running: Open Services (services.msc)
- Try alternative URLs: http://localhost:2017 or http://[::1]:2017
- Check Windows Firewall isn't blocking port 2017
- Restart V2RayA service
- Run V2RayA manually from installation directory
Connection Failed / Authentication Error
Solution:
- Verify username/password are correct (use VPN credentials, not website login)
- Check server address matches your subscription type
- Try different server locations
- Test alternative ports (443, 8080)
- Ensure account is active in TorGuard panel
No Internet After Connecting
Solution:
- Check proxy settings in Windows Internet Options
- Clear DNS cache:
ipconfig /flushdns - Disable and re-enable network adapter
- Try "PAC mode" instead of "System Proxy"
- Check for conflicting VPN/proxy software
Slow Connection Speed
Solution:
- Test different server locations
- Enable Mux in advanced settings
- Try different ports (some may be throttled)
- Check base internet speed without proxy
- Disable unnecessary routing rules
