Identify the software type
A GUI client provides an interface; a core handles configuration and traffic; a dashboard connects to a compatible core. Router plugins also depend on firmware. Categories help discovery, not interchangeability.
Review releases for your device
Choose an OS and architecture in Downloads. Even where release assets are recorded, review minimum OS requirements, formats and release notes. Unresolved requirements remain visible. No device installation test has been performed here.
Handle configuration after installation
Use the project documentation for configuration import. Another client’s menus or screenshots may not apply. Rule tools explain supported snippets; they do not supply proxy nodes or validate live connections.
Scope and sources
This is general guidance based on upstream documentation, without invented device tests or shared-client UI steps. Consult the original documentation for specific versions.
