How do I confirm the correct file?
Compare repository owner, tag, filename, size, and checksum with official Releases. A mirror must not change those identifiers.

Questions are ordered by the user task. Each answer points to a verifiable source, reversible action, or explicit next check rather than using reinstallation as a substitute for diagnosis.
platform and architecture choice
Compare repository owner, tag, filename, size, and checksum with official Releases. A mirror must not change those identifiers.
Use the architecture reported by the operating system. Intel/AMD PCs are usually x64; Apple Silicon and some Windows devices use arm64; Android users inspect ABI.
Not necessarily, but never bypass it blindly. Verify source, signature, and hash first, then use the platform-specific review flow.
Installers usually integrate updates and system components; portable builds isolate data and suit testing. Read the release notes for the project.
Check URL validity, expected format, and the first explicit log error before changing client, core, and configuration at once.
System proxy affects applications that honor it. TUN captures more traffic at the network layer and adds permission and DNS complexity. Validate system proxy first.
If the client says connected but traffic fails, check active configuration, endpoint health, system proxy, DNS, and TUN in that order. Change one layer at a time and preserve the original log error.
Record current version, data path, required custom rules, and recovery data. Keep sensitive URLs out of public screenshots.
No. Verify source and hash, then use a narrow exception for a confirmed file if necessary; do not disable protection globally.
Redact subscription URLs, tokens, usernames, IP addresses, paths, and recovery data while preserving timestamp, component, and error context.
Use the client About page for the installed version and official Releases for published versions. Do not rely on a search snippet.
No. Invalid configuration, expired access, DNS, permissions, and stale system proxy settings can survive a reinstall while useful logs are lost.
