Guides: from sign-up to connected

This page keeps to a single path: create an account, choose a plan, get the subscription link, import it into your client, connect and verify. Each step spells out which screen you're on, what to click and what you should see. Protocol internals, server selection and troubleshooting are longer reads, so they live in the in-depth guides and the help center — head there when you hit a fork in the road.

One thing first: clients for each platform come from different sources, so menu names and button positions aren't consistent — the same feature might be called “Subscription” on desktop and “Configuration” or “Servers” on mobile. This page describes the common path; if the interface doesn't match, go by whatever entry mentions subscription, configuration or servers. The subscription link is tied to your account, so don't pass it on.
1

Create an account

There are two ways into the sign-up page: the “Log in” button in the top-right corner of any page, or the button further down this page — both open the same user panel. The panel is the single place for your account, subscription, orders and support tickets, and both sign-up and purchase happen there. No software needs to be installed first.

The first time you open it, the panel lands on the login form — switch to sign-up. The form has just two fields: username and password. No email address and no other verification details are required. The username is only used to log in, so it's worth keeping it distinct from accounts you use elsewhere, and setting a password you don't reuse.

After you submit, the page goes straight to “Account Overview”. Your account is live at this point, but the subscription area is empty — that's expected; servers only appear after you buy a plan. If you're told the username already exists, try another one. If the two password entries don't match, the form won't submit — just correct it as prompted.

You don't need to log out after signing up — “Buy Plan” in the panel sidebar is the next step. If you get stuck during sign-up, the “Account and Subscription” category in the help center covers it.

Choose a plan and pay

Once you're logged in, the panel sidebar shows the full menu — choose “Buy Plan” to open the pricing page. Monthly plans come in three tiers, so pick by your monthly usage: ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets every month on your activation date, and if you upgrade mid-cycle the price difference is converted into the remaining days — no need to wait for the next cycle.

If you only use it now and then, look at the data bundles first: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, ¥658/3000GB. Bundles last until they run out and never expire, which suits on-and-off use like business trips and travel; monthly plans are the better fit for everyday, always-on use.

PlanDataPriceBest for
Basic monthly60GB / month¥9.9 / monthLight browsing, research
Standard monthly250GB / month¥18 / monthDaily work, video on the commute
Heavy monthly500GB / month¥28 / monthAlways-on use, 4K streaming, multiple devices
Data bundle300GB / 1000GB / 3000GB¥158 / ¥358 / ¥658Lasts until used up, never expires

Monthly plan data resets each month on your activation date, and upgrading mid-cycle converts the price difference into the remaining days. Data bundles last until they run out and never expire.

Once you've picked a tier you go to checkout, where payment supports Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. After payment the order status changes from Pending to Active and the page refreshes once; your plan is now live, so you can move straight on to getting the subscription link.

If payment went through but the status hasn't changed, first check “Orders” to confirm the order exists, then refresh the page. If it still isn't active, open a “Ticket” with the order number — that's the fastest route for billing issues. Before buying, you can check the refund terms: a 14-day no-questions-asked refund, so if you decide not to use it after paying, just submit a request in the panel.

Get the subscription link

Once your plan is active, go back to “Account Overview” in the sidebar. The top of the page shows subscription status and expiry date; below it is the subscription link area, with a long link plus “Copy” and “One-click import” buttons. The panel sidebar is laid out as follows, and the link lives in the first block:

The link looks like this — for illustration only; copy the real one from the panel:

Example subscription link (not a real address) https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN

Click “Copy” to put the link on your clipboard and paste it into any client later; click “One-click import” to hand the link straight to a client already installed on this device, skipping the manual paste. Both give you exactly the same subscription, so either is fine.

The subscription link works like an account credential: whoever has it can use your servers. Don't post it in public groups or forums, or in chat screenshots. If you suspect it has leaked, reset the subscription in the panel — the old link stops working immediately — then import the new one.

The link area stays empty if you haven't purchased or your plan has expired. If you've just paid and don't see a link, refresh the page first; if it's still empty, check the plan status under “Orders”.

Import into your client

Go to “Download Client” in the sidebar and pick the build for your system. All four platforms do the same thing: hand the subscription link you copied in the previous step to the client, then refresh the server list once. The sections below are split by platform — just read the one you use. A subscription works on any platform, and importing the same link on several devices doesn't affect the others; there's no device limit.

win

Windows client

Choose the Windows build in the download area, run the installer and follow the wizard. If a firewall prompt appears on first launch, allow network access.

In the main window, find the “Subscription” or “Configuration” entry — usually in the left sidebar or the top menu. Choose Add subscription, paste the link, save, then hit Update once.

Once entries like Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong appear in the list, the import is done. If you get an invalid-link error, it's usually an incomplete copy — the link is long, so check that the parameters at the end weren't cut off, then copy it again from the panel and retry.

mac

macOS client

Download the macOS build and drag the app into Applications. On first launch macOS may warn that the developer can't be verified — go to System Settings → Privacy and Security and allow it to open this once.

The macOS client lives in the menu bar: click the menu bar icon, choose Subscription or Configuration, add a subscription, paste the link, save and update once.

If the server entries show up in the menu, the import worked. Closing the window leaves the client running in the background — the menu bar icon is the source of truth for whether you're connected.

android

Android client

Get the Android package from the download area. During installation the system will warn that the app comes from an unknown source — allow this install in Settings as prompted, and you can revoke that permission afterwards.

Open the client, go to the subscription or configuration page, choose Add subscription, paste the link, save and tap Update. Once the list is fetched, the main screen shows the servers and a connect button.

If an older version was installed on the device with a subscription of the same name, delete the old entry before adding the new one so the two links don't get mixed up.

ios

iOS client

On iOS, get the client from the App Store — the download area in the user panel links you there. If it doesn't show up in your current store region, the help center explains what to do.

The first time you connect, the system asks to add a VPN configuration — you need to allow it, otherwise the client's connect switch won't work. Then open the subscription page in the client, paste the link, save and update.

Once the server list appears, go back to the main screen and connect. On iPad, import the same subscription the same way.

All four platforms share the same subscription link. The update button in the client re-fetches the server list, so server changes never require reinstalling the client.

Connect to a server and verify it works

Back in the client's main screen, pick a server — for a first run, one in a nearby region is fine — then flip the connect switch or tap Connect. The status area changes from “Disconnected” to “Connected” and starts counting connection time.

The most direct way to tell whether the connection is really working is your exit IP: open our online IP check page and check the current exit IP and its location. If the location shows the server's region (Singapore or Japan, for example), your traffic is going through the server; if it still shows your local region, the connection isn't active.

If it isn't working, check three things in order: whether the client is in rule mode or global mode — test with global mode first; whether the system proxy or virtual adapter has been authorised; and whether the browser cached the old page — retest in a private window.

Once you've confirmed it works, switch back to rule mode for everyday use so local sites connect directly and overseas sites go through the server. If speeds drop at peak hours, switching servers beats reconnecting over and over: the server list is grouped by region and route type, and relay and dedicated routes hold up better at busy times.

  • The client status shows “Connected” and starts counting connection time
  • The location on the IP check page changes to the server's region
  • The overseas sites you use open normally and load fully

If you can't connect or speeds aren't what you hoped, check the table below first. For anything it doesn't cover, the “Connection and Troubleshooting” and “Speed and Servers” categories in the help center go into more detail.
