Create an account
Reach the sign-up page from the button on the home page or on this page. The form has just two fields: username and password. Your username shows up on the login page and in support tickets, so use a mix of letters and digits — not the site domain, a common word or someone else's nickname. Use a password you don't use anywhere else, and never reuse your email password. No email address is needed at any point, and there's no verification email: submitting the form takes you straight into the dashboard.
Once inside, get your bearings: the top bar shows the current account, and the sidebar runs through Overview, Plans, Downloads, Orders, Tickets and Settings. At this point the account has no plan, so the overview page says there's no active subscription and no data available — that's expected. Your subscription appears only after you choose a plan and pay in the next step.
- Keep your own record of the username and password. The login page has a recovery entry that works with your username — no email involved.
- One account works on unlimited devices, so a second device doesn't need a second sign-up.
- Don't rush to install the app yet: the subscription URL has nothing to pull until payment goes through.
Choose a plan and complete payment
The plans page in the dashboard splits billing into two types: monthly subscriptions and data packs. Both use the same account and the same servers — only the billing model differs, so think about your usage pattern before deciding which one to buy.
Monthly subscriptions are billed per month and data resets every month on the day you activated, in three tiers: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB and ¥28/month for 500GB. Everyday browsing, file transfers and the occasional video fit comfortably in 60GB; if you watch a lot of 4K or stay connected for hours, the 250GB and 500GB tiers leave more headroom. Upgrading mid-cycle is charged pro rata for the remaining days — you don't have to wait for the next reset date and buy again.
Data packs are one-off purchases that you use until they run out, and they never expire — handy for business trips, short projects or as a top-up to a monthly plan: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB. The rule of thumb is simple: if you use it every month, take a monthly subscription; if you only need it two or three times a year, a data pack will sit there without wasting away.
Once you've chosen, click the button on the card to reach checkout, check the plan name and amount, then pick a payment method: Alipay, WeChat or USDT. After paying, go back to the dashboard — the order status moves from pending to paid, and the overview page shows your subscription and data allowance. First payments are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you don't have to keep something that doesn't fit.
- Before paying, check the tier and data figures — the dashboard and the plans page show the same prices.
- Order stuck on pending: refresh the orders page first, then confirm the payment actually went through, and open a ticket if needed.
- Data resets monthly on your activation date, not on the 1st of the calendar month — note your reset day and you won't be caught out.
Get the subscription link
After payment, go back to the overview page — the subscription block is usually above the fold: one line with the subscription URL, next to a copy button, one-click import and a QR code. That URL is what the app imports, in the form https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. The domain and token in the example are fake; the real URL only appears in the dashboard after you sign in.
Pick one of three ways depending on your device: on desktop, click copy and paste the URL into the app; also on desktop, one-click import pushes the URL to an app already installed on the machine; on mobile, open the QR code and scan it with the app. All three lead to the same subscription, so you only need to do it once.
A subscription URL is as sensitive as your login credentials. Anyone who has it can read your server details and data usage, so don't paste it into group chats or forums, and don't put it in screenshots. When you move to a new device, copy it again from the dashboard rather than using a URL someone forwarded to you. If you suspect it has leaked, delete the old subscription in the app first, contact support via a ticket, then import the new URL.
If the overview still says you have no subscription: refresh the page first; if the order is paid but the status hasn't changed, check the orders page; if neither lines up, open a ticket and include the order number and time. The full guide covers the finer branches of this troubleshooting — here we keep to the three main ones.
Import the app for your platform
Apps all come from the download page in the dashboard — sign in to download, and sign in to fetch the subscription too. Once installed, the import path differs slightly across the four platforms, but the test for success is the same: the server list shows actual countries and cities, such as Japan · Tokyo or Singapore. If the list is empty, the subscription hasn't imported yet — don't hit connect just yet.
Windows
Get the Windows app from the download page, install it and open it. Find the Subscriptions group in the left sidebar or the top menu, click Add subscription, paste the URL you copied in step 3 into the field and save. Back in the subscription list, click Update once and the app pulls the server list. When it finishes, groups such as Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore appear, and expanding any group shows the individual cities.
Select a server and click the connect button in the interface. The first time you connect, the system asks whether to allow creating a virtual network adapter — allow it. If the connect button just spins, switch to another server instead of clicking the same one repeatedly.
macOS
The macOS app also comes from the download page. After installing, its icon appears in the menu bar; open the menu and go to Preferences or the Subscription tab, paste the subscription URL, save, then click update. On first launch macOS blocks it with a security check: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and allow the app to run, otherwise the window may open and do nothing at all.
If a system dialog asks whether to allow adding a VPN configuration, enter your device password once and allow it. Then go back to the menu bar menu, pick a server and connect — the menu bar icon changes from outline to filled, which means you're connected.
Android
Get the Android APK from the download page and open it after installing. Before the first connection the system asks for permission to create a VPN connection — you must allow it, otherwise the app has no network permission. You only need to confirm this once.
Open the Subscription tab at the bottom of the app — the top right is usually a plus icon or Import from clipboard. Paste the URL, save, then tap update. Once the server list appears, tap a server to connect and a key or VPN marker shows in the status bar. If battery saver is on, the system may drop background connections when the screen is off; adding the app to the battery optimisation allowlist helps.
iOS
The iOS app comes from the App Store. The iOS entry on the dashboard's download page is available to accounts with an active, unexpired plan; without one, that entry asks you to choose a plan first. Install the app, open it, and on the Subscription page paste the URL or scan the QR code from step 3, save, then tap update.
The first time you connect, iOS asks you to add a VPN configuration and confirm your device password once; allow it and you can connect. iOS only allows one VPN configuration to be connected at a time, so if another similar tool is installed on the phone, disconnect it in system settings before connecting to this service — otherwise the connection may come up and drop straight away.
A Linux client is also available on the download page, and importing works the same way as on desktop: paste the subscription URL, update, pick a server. We won't go into it separately here — for command-line details, see the matching chapter of the full guide.
Connect and verify
Once the server list appears, start with one close to you: the Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore groups usually have lower latency on Asian routes and suit everyday browsing and video. When you need content from a specific region, pick the matching group. The exact countries and cities are listed in the dashboard's server table — we don't repeat the list here.
After clicking connect, check two places. In the app: the status changes from disconnected to connected, and the menu bar or status bar icon changes colour. In the dashboard: the overview page's online devices and data usage start moving, which shows this device is really using the subscription. Both sides matching means you're genuinely connected.
The most direct way to verify it works is to open a site that normally won't load: if it loads, traffic is going out. Then look up your exit IP location in a search engine — the country shown should match the server you picked. If a page keeps spinning while the app says connected, switch servers and try again.
If you can't connect, work through this order: switch servers → switch protocol (the app usually lets you toggle between VLESS and Hysteria2) → check that the device's system time is accurate, since a large clock skew breaks the handshake. If all three fail, note the app logs and the server name and attach them to a ticket. On a shared computer, remember to disconnect and sign out when you're done.
