How should you choose a US VPN node?

When choosing a US node, check the exit type, client compatibility and billing. NailongVPN serves Hong Kong users with US datacenter connections, separate accounts and subscriptions, and static IPs, with one IP per user. Use the checks below to compare your needs, setup and actual connection.

Which kind of US VPN service do you need?

A US exit, residential origin, a fixed address and server administration are separate requirements. Identify what you need to connect before choosing a product.

What is a US node?

A node is the server your client connects to; the exit IP is the address a destination sees. NailongVPN currently uses Los Angeles datacenter exits. Hong Kong describes the intended users, not a Hong Kong exit location.

Datacenter, residential and dedicated IPs describe different properties. Current plans provide US datacenter static IP connections with one IP per user and separate subscription credentials and data allowances. If you require residential broadband, read the IP comparison first.

HY2 and Trojan: choose for your network

HY2 (Hysteria2) uses UDP; Trojan uses TCP. Import your subscription, then choose a node in the NailongVPN group. If HY2 times out while Trojan works, use Trojan and record the network and error.

A protocol name or one latency test cannot guarantee bandwidth, peak-hour speed or access to another service. Local Wi-Fi, routing, packet loss, server load and the destination all affect the result.

Compare data, validity and availability

Published Starter, Plus and Max plans are HK$29, HK$69 and HK$129 for 100, 250 and 500 GiB respectively, each lasting 30 days. They differ in data allowance, not guaranteed speed priority. Check live plans and capacity on the pricing page before checkout.

Uploads and downloads both count. Payment is one-time with no automatic renewal. Estimate browsing, file transfers and usage across devices; AI memberships, API credits and paid clients are separate costs.

Import a US VPN subscription on your device

Mac users can use Clash Verge Rev or Shadowrocket; iPhone and iPad use Shadowrocket; Windows uses Clash Verge Rev; Android uses FlClash; Linux can use Clash Verge Rev or FlClash. Follow each client's official download and compatibility guidance.

  • Sign in and check that your subscription is active, unexpired and has data remaining.
  • Copy the general subscription for Shadowrocket, or the Clash subscription for Clash Verge Rev and FlClash.
  • Import and update, select the configuration and node, then enable the system proxy or mobile VPN connection.

How do you verify that the US node is working?

A successful subscription import means the client has the configuration. It does not prove that your browser, terminal and every app use the same route. Check them in order, changing one condition at a time.

  1. Check the browser exit

    Select your subscription and node, enable the system proxy or phone VPN, then open the IP checker. Compare the address and country with the selected node. This measures that browser request; routing rules may send other applications elsewhere.

  2. Test the application you actually need

    Open an ordinary HTTPS page, then test your target app. If browsing works but Claude Code or another terminal tool fails, check the application's proxy settings. Record account or region messages separately from connection failures.

  3. Repeat under matching conditions

    Record the network, node, protocol, time and exact error. Compare on the same network and target page. Check the exit after changing nodes so that a different exit is not mistaken for a protocol effect. Keep full subscription URLs out of public screenshots.
