Using the app: routing, TUN, auto-connect, devices

Apps · Updated November 10, 2026

Routing rules (Routing on the home screen)

  1. Three modes are available: Rule-based (recommended; local sites connect directly and all other traffic goes through the exit), Global, and Selected apps only.
  2. Four switches: Local sites and IPs go direct, LAN goes direct, Block ads and trackers, and Send all DNS through the proxy.
  3. Tap Add to create a custom rule. Match by domain suffix, full domain, keyword, IP range, region or app, then send matching traffic to Teaben · Auto, Teaben · Country, My node, Direct or Block.
  4. Teaben · Country supports up to 5 countries. Matching traffic exits from the selected country; all other traffic uses your current exit.
  5. Changes take effect as soon as you save. If you're connected, the app reconnects within a second or two.

TUN mode

On Android, the app always runs in TUN mode and routes every app. To proxy only certain apps, use Selected apps only. Once the desktop apps are released, you'll be able to switch between Virtual adapter and System proxy modes.

Auto-connect

With Me → Auto-connect turned on, the app connects automatically when your device starts, after the connection drops, and when you switch networks. The exception is a device that was disconnected because of the device limit; it won't reconnect automatically.

Device limit and disconnections

  • Each product has its own limit. Your Standard plan allows 2 devices on the trial, 3 on Lite, 5 on Standard and 8 on Premium; each dedicated IP allows 2, separate from your plan; your own nodes don't count. A device counts toward the product it's connected to, and only devices currently connected count, not every device with the app installed.
  • When a product reaches its limit, the new connection goes through and the device that connected to that product first is disconnected with a notice. Other products aren't affected, and your account isn't suspended.
  • Me → Signed-in devices shows how many devices are online for each product. Tap a product to see its devices, remove a device or block it permanently.

Country setting

Me → Country setting has one setting for each product you've purchased: one for your Standard plan, shared by all your devices, and one for each dedicated IP order, shared by the IPs purchased together. The default is Auto-detect, based on the network you connect from. The setting only changes the route; your exit IP stays the same. Mainland China is available for your Standard plan, and for dedicated IPs purchased with Mainland China acceleration.
