About Firefly: Stable Lines, a Self-Built App
Firefly is a network service built specifically for people in mainland China — and for the expats living here who need it just as much. Whether you’re trying to reach the sites and tools that are blocked, or you just want something you don’t have to fight with every day, Firefly’s approach comes down to one thing: solid infrastructure and an honest protocol choice, not empty promises.
What Firefly is
Firefly is run by a team based outside mainland China, with 50+ high-speed nodes across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and the US, treating line quality and protocol choice as the actual product, not an afterthought.
At a Glance
- Run by an overseas team
- 50+ high-speed nodes across Hong Kong / Taiwan / Japan / Singapore / US
- Line quality and protocol are the real investment, not marketing copy
The technology behind Firefly
Every Firefly line runs on an IPLC dedicated line — no public internet transit, no shared bottlenecks. On the protocol side, Firefly uses VLESS with Reality transport on an Xray (v2ray) core, disguising traffic as ordinary HTTPS so it’s far harder to flag and block.

- IPLC dedicated line, no public internet transit
- VLESS + Reality transport, disguised as ordinary HTTPS
- Xray (v2ray) core
- Meets the bar we set in how to choose a reliable service
A self-developed client, not just a link
Rather than handing you a bare subscription link, Firefly ships its own client app for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android — one account across every device, connect with a tap. Account-based access is also harder to scrape and resell than a plain link, which means more stable nodes for everyone using them.
At a Glance
- Every platform: Windows / Mac / iOS / Android
- One account, works across every device
- Scan or tap to connect, no manual setup
- Account-based access resists scraping and resale better than a link
