Find your way around the app
This guide shows you where everything is in the ExitNode desktop app and the web app, and how the controls you’ll use on every screen behave.
Desktop app and web app
Section titled “Desktop app and web app”ExitNode has two parts. You use both with the same account.

Tables
Section titled “Tables”Most screens are tables, and they work the same way.
- Search sits above the table. It filters the rows as you type.
- Filters opens a small panel of filters. Each active filter shows as a chip beside it. Click the x on a chip to clear it.
- Columns is the icon button beside Filters. It lets you choose which columns appear. Reset to defaults puts them back.
- Sort by clicking a column heading, where the table allows it.
- Reorder columns by dragging their headings. Resize by dragging a heading’s edge.
- Refresh is the circular arrow at the end of the toolbar.
Your column choices are remembered on this computer.
Selecting rows
Section titled “Selecting rows”- Click a row’s checkbox to select it.
- Hold Shift and click another checkbox to select the rows between them.
- Use the checkbox in the header to select every row on screen.
A bar appears at the bottom with the number selected, Select all, and the actions you can take. The x clears your selection.
Right-click menus
Section titled “Right-click menus”Right-click a row to see what you can do with it. If you’ve selected several rows and you right-click one of them, the menu applies to all of them. Actions you can’t take are greyed out, and actions your role doesn’t allow don’t appear.
Sheets and dialogs
Section titled “Sheets and dialogs”Editing a profile or proxy opens a sheet that slides in from the side. Click Save to keep your changes, or Cancel or the x to close without saving.
Some actions apply as soon as you click them, without Save. The guides point these out.
Messages
Section titled “Messages”Short messages appear at the edge of the window after you act. They tell you what happened, or what went wrong. Each guide lists the messages you’re most likely to need help with.
The web app sidebar
Section titled “The web app sidebar”Items you can’t use still appear, but they’re greyed out. A lock means your role doesn’t allow it. Upgrade means your plan doesn’t include it.
