Enter the server address (from the list above) and port 8080
Username: your Navlink email. Password: your account password
Tap Connect — allow the VPN configuration when prompted
Potatso Lite — system-wide (free), detailed walkthrough
Open the App Store on your iPhone (blue icon with a white «A»)
Tap the search icon (magnifying glass) at the bottom and type Potatso Lite
Open the app page (or use this direct link) and tap «Get» (free)
iOS may ask for Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password — that's the standard install confirmation, nothing unusual
Once installed, tap «Open» (or find the Potatso Lite icon on your home screen and tap it)
If it asks to send you notifications, «Don't Allow» is fine — not required for it to work
On the app's main screen, tap the «+» in the top-right corner
From the list that appears, pick the last option — Manual Input
For Type, select Socks5
For Host, enter one of the server addresses from the list above (e.g. bb0.navlink.net) — copy-pasting is easiest
For Port, enter 8080
Turn on the Auth toggle (it reveals the Username and Password fields if they weren't already visible)
Username — your Navlink email. Password — your account password
Tap Save in the top-right corner — the server now appears in the main list
Tap the new server once to select it (it becomes highlighted / gets a checkmark)
Tap the main power toggle (usually at the top of the screen) — iOS will show its system prompt «Add VPN Configurations». This is the standard prompt iOS shows for any app of this kind — tap Allow and confirm with Face ID/passcode if asked
Done: if the toggle turns green/active, the connection is working. Confirm by opening any website in your browser
To disconnect, open Potatso Lite and tap the same toggle again — it turns grey. If a server doesn't connect, try a different address from the list above — they're interchangeable.
