How to check Aurel yourself / 自己动手核实 Aurel (2026-10-26)

1. Use an open-source client / 使用开源客户端
   Aurel does not make its own app. All recommended clients are open source on GitHub:
   Aurel 不做自己的客户端。推荐的客户端都在 GitHub 开源：
     v2rayN (Windows)            https://github.com/2dust/v2rayN
     v2rayNG (Android)           https://github.com/2dust/v2rayNG
     Clash Verge Rev (Win/macOS) https://github.com/clash-verge-rev/clash-verge-rev
     Hiddify (all platforms)     https://github.com/hiddify/hiddify-app
     NekoBox (Android)           https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/NekoBoxForAndroid
     sing-box (iOS: sing-box VT) https://github.com/SagerNet/sing-box
   Shadowrocket (iOS) also works but is closed source. / Shadowrocket 也能用，但不开源。

2. Check the downloads we mirror / 核对我们镜像的安装包
   Our download links are unmodified copies of the official GitHub release files. Compare the SHA-256 at
   https://sub.aurel.work/dl/SHA256SUMS with the file you download from GitHub:
     Windows:  certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256
     macOS:    shasum -a 256 <file>
     Linux:    sha256sum <file>
   我们提供的下载与 GitHub 官方发布文件完全相同。用上面的命令计算哈希，与 SHA256SUMS 和 GitHub 下载的文件对比。

3. Read your subscription / 查看订阅内容
   Your subscription link returns plain server entries (base64 text or YAML). Decode it (any base64 decoder) and you
   will see only server addresses, ports, protocols and your own credential - no scripts, no tracking parameters.
   订阅链接返回的只是服务器条目（base64 文本或 YAML）。解码后只会看到服务器地址、端口、协议和你自己的凭证，没有脚本或跟踪参数。

4. Check the encryption / 核对加密方式
   In the client, open a server entry: VLESS + REALITY, Hysteria2 and Trojan all encrypt end to end between your
   device and our node. Websites you open over HTTPS stay encrypted inside that tunnel as well, so even the node only
   sees the destination host name, never the page content.
   在客户端里打开任一节点：VLESS + REALITY、Hysteria2、Trojan 在你的设备和节点之间全程加密；你访问的 HTTPS 网站在隧道内仍是加密的，节点只能看到目标域名，看不到页面内容。

5. Compare with the published configuration / 对照公开的配置
   xray-node.sample.json and sing-box-node.sample.json show the live logging settings: Xray has no access log,
   sing-box and Hysteria2 logging is disabled. data-inventory.json lists everything we store and for how long.
   xray-node.sample.json 与 sing-box-node.sample.json 是线上日志设置：Xray 没有访问日志，sing-box 与 Hysteria2 日志关闭。data-inventory.json 列出我们保存的全部数据及期限。

6. Check the canary / 查看透明度声明
   canary.txt is dated and must be renewed by the date it states.
   canary.txt 带日期，并须在其写明的日期前更新。

7. Delete everything / 彻底删除
   Customer centre -> Settings -> Delete account permanently.
   客户中心 -> 账号设置 -> 彻底删除账户。
