GLOSSARY
What is Reality?
Short answer
Reality is a transport profile for protected connections over TLS 1.3. The client verifies the server by its public key instead of a certificate authority chain, so the server does not need to issue and maintain its own certificates. In Vinipuch, Reality works together with the VLESS protocol on the sing-box core.

Classic TLS assumes the server presents a certificate issued by a certificate authority. Reality replaces that with verification against a pre-known server public key: the client knows exactly who it is talking to, and the operator does not need to run certificate infrastructure.
For the connection this means standard modern TLS 1.3 encryption and a fast handshake. For you it means fewer moving parts: the configuration arrives as a single profile link and updates automatically.
Transport details evolve with core updates; the current configuration is always the one your remote profile delivers.
Reality does not hide the fact of a connection. It is public-key server verification and TLS 1.3. The logging policy lists which operational records remain.
Setup: official sing-box, a remote profile from Connect. Do not assemble a config from chats. Clients SFI, SFA, SFW, SFM and SFL come from the download page.
The plan does not change the transport. Quota and devices change on the card. Cash refunds are not available.
