Moving from Happ to Ghostlane

Keep your current subscription and add olcRTC beside it in one app. Happ cannot run olcRTC, which is the only reason to move; nothing about your existing servers changes.

example

Ghostlane └ your provider’s subscription (unchanged) └ the olcRTC link (new: survives allowlist-only networks)

If your provider gave you an olcRTC link next to your existing subscription, this is why: Happ cannot run olcRTC. Ghostlane runs your existing servers too, so the move adds the one transport that gets through networks where only a handful of destinations are reachable.

What stays the same

  • Your existing servers. Paste the same subscription URL you use in Happ; Ghostlane reads it the same way and shows the same locations.
  • Your provider. Your account and support stay with them.
  • Reality, Hysteria2 and XHTTP. All three run in Ghostlane too.

What you gain

olcRTC disguises your traffic as a video call. On a network that allows only listed destinations (conference systems, corporate portals, some public Wi-Fi), ordinary transports have nothing to connect to, while a video call is exactly what such a network is built to carry. It also carries UDP, so calls and games work over it.

How to switch

  1. Install Ghostlane: from the App Store or Google Play on a phone, from its releases page on a computer. Installing Ghostlane lists every build (on iOS see Ghostlane on iOS).
  2. Add your provider’s existing subscription URL, the one already in Happ.
  3. Add the olcRTC link your provider sent as a second server list. Both live side by side.
  4. Connect as usual. Switch to the olcRTC location only when the others stop getting through.

When to reach for olcRTC

It is the fallback, not the default: a video call carries less than Reality does. Use Reality or Hysteria2 while they work, and move to olcRTC when they are blocked; that is the situation it exists for.
