01 Choose Language and Region​

Tip

On first launch, you will be asked to choose a language. After that, you will be asked to choose your location.

Be sure to choose your real region

If the selected region is different from your actual country or region, you may be unable to connect to our servers, or AI Proxy may become very slow.

Settings Page

If you move to a new country or region, that is fine. Click setting to open the Settings page and change the language or region.

Basic Features​

Use the navigation bar to switch between these three screens:

  1. Profile: View account information, membership expiration, remaining traffic, and more.
  2. Main screen: Select and connect to a node, switch proxy modes, monitor network requests, and test network speed.
  3. Settings: Change your region, interface language, traffic-routing rules, and other settings.

02 Log In or Register​

2.1 Log In​

Tip

Open the Profile screen and click Sign in to log in or register. If you are not logged in, you can also click on the main screen to open the login window.

After logging in, you can view your current account information in the navigation menu.

  1. Expiration: This indicates the account type. If it shows 2099/12/31, you are a traffic-based user. If it shows a specific expiration date, you are a duration-based user. You can view our plans on the Price page.
  2. Remaining Traffic: This shows your remaining traffic. If it shows 0.00B, acceleration cannot be used and you need to top up traffic. If you are a monthly member, it will show 9999GB.
  3. Sign Out: Sign out of the current account.
Refresh Information

If your information has not updated after topping up, wait five minutes and try again. If the balance still has not appeared, submit a support ticket.

2.3 Register​

Tip

If you do not have an account, click Create account to register.

Enter Your Account and Password

If your email username contains a dot, for example:

[email protected], you need to change it to:

Verify Your Email

If the email address you entered is [email protected], go to Gmail and check for the verification code from an address ending in [email protected].

Thank You for Using ViewTurbo

We provide 200-500M of traffic for you to try. You can run a speed test. We also have a video that explains how to perform a speed test:

03 Select and Connect to a Node​

3.1 Select a Node​

Tip

Before doing this, click to log in. Otherwise, this feature cannot be used.

Select a Node

Click to open the node selection screen.

After choosing a node, use the switch to the right of Connect to connect to it.

In each node card, the node name on the left follows a relatively standard naming format: [NodeName]-[Mbps] [No.number]. Here is how to understand the less obvious parts:

  1. 5000M: 5000M means 5000Mbps, or 5Gbps, of bandwidth. 5000M (5Gbps) = 5000 megabits per second, which means the network supports a theoretical download speed of up to 625MB/s (5Gbps ÷ 8 = 625MB/s).
  2. The % on the right is load, which indicates the network load on the server.

3.2 Features After Connecting​

Show All Features

Click Expand to show all features on the main screen.

FeatureDescription
Select nodeSelect NodeOpen the node list and choose the proxy node you want to use. After selecting it, click the connection control on the main screen to start acceleration.
Switch modeSwitch ModeSwitch between AI Proxy and Full Proxy. AI Proxy routes traffic automatically and is recommended for everyday use. Full Proxy disables automatic routing and sends all network requests through the selected proxy node.
TUN ModeTUN ModeUses a system-level virtual network adapter to capture and forward device traffic, including both TCP and UDP, for more complete proxy coverage.
Network monitoringNetwork MonitoringView network requests generated while connected and their routing results, so you can see whether traffic is proxied, connected directly, or blocked. This feature is enabled with Professional Mode.
Speed testNetwork Speed TestTest the current node's network performance to compare connection speeds and choose a more suitable node. The test uses a small amount of traffic.
Professional Mode

Professional Mode uses a relay node to optimize the connection to your current proxy node and also enables Network Monitoring.

3.3 PRO Mode​

After enabling 「PRO Mode」

After selecting a proxy node, you also need to choose a relay node. The relay node acts as an upstream forwarding layer between your local network and the target proxy node, helping optimize the path from your ISP egress network to the proxy node.

With relay nodes, ViewTurbo can reduce the impact of ISP-side routing degradation, link interference, or connection blocking to a certain extent. This helps connections avoid unstable network paths and improves stability, availability, and the overall experience during cross-network access.

04 Device Management​

Tip

You can manage your devices at https://viewturbo.com/my.

Note

Please note that our data usage statistics are not updated in real time and may be delayed by a few minutes or even several hours. These numbers are not perfectly precise and are only provided as a reference to help you understand your general data consumption.

Supports Ten Devices

Our proxy service allows up to ten devices to connect, including two Linux devices, two Windows devices, two Apple devices, two macOS devices, and two Android devices, providing flexible cross-platform compatibility.

Because multiple devices can be connected, effective device management is important. In the Devices tab on the main screen, you can view all previously connected devices. When you hover over a device, detailed information is shown.

Security

We implement device segmentation to isolate traffic between devices. This helps ensure that even if one device is compromised, an attacker cannot easily infiltrate other devices connected through ViewTurbo.

05 Other Features​

5.1 Network Monitoring​

Can't see it?

Click Expand to show all features on the main screen.

To access this feature, click Network Monitoring on the main screen. Network traffic will then appear whenever you open a page or the system generates traffic automatically.

What Are Auto, Proxy, Local, and Block?

  1. Auto: Decides whether to use a proxy based on the server response speed to the target address.
  2. Proxy: Accesses the target through a proxy.
  3. Local: Accesses the target directly through the local network without using a proxy.
  4. Block: Blocks that server from sending data to you.

Domain Scope Examples

  1. Main domain: For example, youtube.com.
  2. Subdomain: A name added before the main domain. For example, www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, and music.youtube.com are all subdomains of youtube.com.
  3. All subdomains: All subdomains under the same main domain. For example, *.youtube.com can represent www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, and more. When you choose main domain, it affects both youtube.com itself and these subdomains.

User Proxy Rules

Force this domain to be accessed through the proxy. Its priority is lower than block rules.

  1. full domain: When you enter a full domain, only that domain is affected. For example, entering www.youtube.com only affects www.youtube.com, not youtube.com, m.youtube.com, or music.youtube.com.
  2. main domain: When you enter the main domain, the main domain itself and all of its subdomains are affected. For example, entering youtube.com affects youtube.com, www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, and more.

User Local Rules

Force this domain to use direct/local network access. This has the lowest priority among custom rules.

  1. full domain: When you enter a full domain, only that domain is affected. For example, entering www.youtube.com only affects www.youtube.com, not youtube.com, m.youtube.com, or music.youtube.com.
  2. main domain: When you enter the main domain, the main domain itself and all of its subdomains are affected. For example, entering youtube.com affects youtube.com, www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, and more.

User Block Rules

Block this domain first. This has the highest priority among custom rules.

  1. full domain: When you enter a full domain, only that domain is affected. For example, entering www.youtube.com only affects www.youtube.com, not youtube.com, m.youtube.com, or music.youtube.com.
  2. main domain: When you enter the main domain, the main domain itself and all of its subdomains are affected. For example, entering youtube.com affects youtube.com, www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, and more.

These settings are saved in the files below. Click in the bottom navigation bar to open the Settings page, then click Open Config Directory to view the configuration files.

Enable Domain Configuration

A small hidden detail: some of our files support regular-expression domain matching.

  1. user_block.txt: Domains the user wants to block.
  2. user_local.txt: Domains the user wants to access locally.
  3. user_proxy.txt: Domains the user wants to access through the proxy.
  1. config.ini: Some ViewTurbo settings.
  2. Country.mmdb: A GeoIP database used to store geographic information for ViewTurbo automatic proxy routing.
  3. sys_local.txt and sys_proxy.txt: Stored in encrypted format and contain important system status and proxy server information.
  4. user_block.txt: Domains the user wants to block.
  5. user_local.txt: Domains the user wants to access locally.
  6. user_proxy.txt: Domains the user wants to access through the proxy.

5.2 Proxy Address​

If you click Connected on the Network Monitoring page, it will show the HTTP proxy address and Socks5 address:

You can click the content to copy it
127.0.0.1:15732

Hover briefly to show detailed proxy addresses such as HTTP and Socks5:

127.0.0.1:15732 // HTTP
127.0.0.1:15732 // Socks5

5.3 Settings Page​

Settings​

Use the Settings screen to adjust ViewTurbo's display language, connection behavior, and traffic-routing rules.

Basic Settings​

FeatureDescription
LanguageLanguageChange the ViewTurbo interface language. Menus and feature names will use the selected language after switching.
LocationLocationSet your actual current country or region. ViewTurbo uses this information to optimize server connections and AI Proxy routing. Selecting an incorrect region may prevent connections or reduce speed.

Connection Settings​

FeatureDescription
System proxyAutomatically Set Up the System ProxyAutomatically configure the system proxy after connecting to a node, so browsers and other apps that follow system proxy settings use ViewTurbo. We generally recommend leaving this enabled.
Git proxyAutomatically Set Up the Git ProxyAutomatically configure Git so network operations such as clone, pull, and push use the current ViewTurbo connection. You can disable this if you do not use Git.
TUN ModeTUN ModeCreate a system-level virtual network adapter that captures device traffic, including apps that ignore system proxy settings and both TCP and UDP traffic, for more complete proxy coverage.
Proxy addressesProxy AddressesView the current network IP and the HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy addresses provided by ViewTurbo. Apps that require manual proxy configuration and devices on the same LAN can use this information.
System Proxy vs. TUN Mode

The system proxy only affects apps that follow system proxy settings. TUN Mode captures traffic at the system network layer. If some apps still cannot connect after you enable the system proxy, try enabling TUN Mode.

Routing Rules​

You can assign different handling methods to target addresses. The number shown to the right of each feature is the number of rules currently added.

FeatureDescription
Direct rulesDirect RulesMatching network requests bypass the proxy and use the local network directly. This is useful for local services or websites that do not need a proxy.
Proxy rulesProxy RulesMatching network requests always use the current proxy node. This is useful for services that must consistently use the proxy.
Blocked rulesBlocked RulesBlock matching network requests immediately. Use this to prevent access to unwanted domains or services.
Changing Routing Rules

Custom rules change how network requests are handled. If a website or app becomes inaccessible, check whether a direct rule or blocked rule is matching it incorrectly.

Other Actions​

FeatureDescription
Configuration directoryOpen Config DirectoryOpen the directory where ViewTurbo stores configuration files. Advanced users can inspect or back up the configuration here. Do not modify or delete files unless you understand their purpose.
Quit ViewTurboQuit the application completely and stop the current proxy connection and traffic forwarding. Closing only the Settings window does not quit ViewTurbo.
Rule Priority

If the same domain appears in multiple custom rules, the block rule is applied first, then the proxy rule, and finally the local rule. In other words: Block > Proxy > Local.

6.3 Console Proxy​

ViewTurbo provides a console proxy feature. If you only need it temporarily, click the tray item "Terminal Proxy / Console Proxy" and press Enter. The proxy will not be enabled the next time you restart your computer or reopen the terminal.

You can also make the console proxy persistent as follows:

If you have VS Code installed:

If VS Code is installed, you can edit the file by running this command in the terminal:

code ~/.zshrc

Run echo $SHELL in the terminal to check your shell type.

  1. If it is /bin/zsh, run vim ~/.zshrc in the terminal, press a to enter edit mode, and add:
  2. If it is /usr/bin/bash, run vim ~/.bashrc. The steps are the same as above, except the file name changes to ~/.bashrc.
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:15732"
export https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:15732"

Then press :wq to save, run source ~/.zshrc to refresh the configuration, and run echo $http_proxy:

http://127.0.0.1:15732

If the output is as shown above, the console proxy is active.
