How to Use Provided APK Files for Android from bannedbook/fanqiang
Download the APKs from the mirrors listed in the repository, enable "Unknown sources" in Android settings, install manually or via ADB, then configure the VPN app with subscription links or node URLs.
The bannedbook/fanqiang repository provides ready-to-install Android APKs for bypassing network restrictions. This guide covers the complete workflow—from downloading the APK files to configuring the VPN connection—based on the official documentation in the repository's markdown files.
What APK Files Are Available
The repository maintains two primary Android clients:
- V2ray VPN – Supports V2Ray/Xray protocols (vmess/vless) and Shadowsocks
- FQNews – A news-feed app with built-in VPN functionality
Both applications are hosted on external download mirrors and referenced in 安卓翻墙软件.md and android/V2RayNG.md.
Enable Installation from Unknown Sources
Before installing any APK, you must allow Android to install apps outside Google Play.
Android 7 and earlier:
Open Settings → Security and enable Unknown sources.
Android 8 and later:
Open Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, then grant permission to your browser or file manager.
This requirement is documented in 安卓翻墙软件.md (lines 39–40).
Download the APK Files
Fetch the APKs directly from the repository's mirror URLs:
| App | Download URL |
|---|---|
| V2ray VPN | https://d1a.mygrok.top/v2ray.vpn-universal-release.apk |
| FQNews | https://d1a.mygrok.top/jinwen.apk |
Alternative mirrors are listed in the "Android版V2ray/SS VPN" section of 安卓翻墙软件.md. Use any download manager or browser to save the files to your device's Downloads folder.
Note: If the downloaded file has a .zip extension, rename it to .apk before installing (see 安卓翻墙软件.md line 41).
Install the APK Files
Method 1: Manual Installation
- Open your file manager and navigate to the Downloads folder
- Tap the APK file
- Confirm the installation prompt
- Wait for the installation to complete
Method 2: ADB Installation (Command Line)
For advanced users or batch installations, use Android Debug Bridge:
# Verify device connection
adb devices
# Install the V2ray VPN APK
adb install ~/Downloads/v2ray.vpn-universal-release.apk
# Verify installation succeeded
adb shell pm list packages | grep -i v2ray
Requirements: USB debugging enabled on the device, ADB installed on your computer.
Configure V2ray VPN After Installation
Once installed, open V2ray VPN and complete setup using the guidance in android/V2RayNG.md (lines 15–34):
- Add a subscription – Paste a subscription URL from your service provider, or add nodes individually
- Select a server – Choose from the imported node list
- Set routing mode – Navigate to Settings → Routing mode and select "Bypass LAN & China" (see
V2RayNG.mdline 37) - Connect – Tap the Connect button and grant VPN permission when prompted
Configure FQNews After Installation
FQNews operates with minimal setup:
- The app automatically connects to bundled free V2Ray servers on launch
- To use custom servers, go to Settings → Server and add your node URLs

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the official APK download links located?
The official download mirrors are listed in 安卓翻墙软件.md at the repository root. This file contains multiple mirror URLs for both V2ray VPN and FQNews, allowing you to switch sources if one is unavailable.
Can I install the APKs without a computer?
Yes. Download the APK directly on your Android device using any browser, then tap the downloaded file to install. The ADB method is optional and intended for power users managing multiple devices.
Why does the downloaded file have a .zip extension?
Some browsers or network conditions may rename .apk files to .zip. Simply rename the file back to .apk before installing, as noted in 安卓翻墙软件.md line 41. The file contents remain unchanged.
How do I update to a newer version of V2ray VPN?
Download the latest APK from the same mirrors in 安卓翻墙软件.md and install it over the existing version. Android will prompt to update the existing app. Your configuration and server list will typically be preserved.
