Getting Started

Five steps to connect to international routes

From creating an account to seeing “Connected” on your phone, the whole path is just five steps. Each step covers where to click, what you should see and what comes next; if you get stuck, read the tip at the end of that step first, then head to the Help Center.

Interfaces differ between clients and OS versions: buttons may have different names and menus may have moved. This page follows the common layouts — if your screen doesn't match, go by the “Subscription” or “Configuration” section in your client. Can't find the entry point? Check your client version first, then look up the matching article in the Help Center.

Before you start, have three things ready: a device with a working internet connection, a payment method you can use (Alipay, WeChat or USDT) and about ten minutes. No email address is needed at any point, and you don't have to download an installer in advance — the client is available from the download page once you're signed in.

01

Create an account

Open the sign-up page in the user panel and fill in only two fields: username and password. The username is what you sign in with and can't be changed afterwards, so pick something easy to remember but hard to guess; use at least 8 characters for the password and mix letters with numbers. The page doesn't ask for an email address, and submitting takes you straight to the overview with no extra verification step.

The overview page is split into sections: account details at the top, subscription and data in the middle, orders and support tickets below. A new account with no plan yet shows an empty subscription section with a prompt to choose one. You don't need to sign out — the plan link in the sidebar sits in the same panel; once you've paid, come back to the overview and the subscription details appear automatically.

Signing up takes a minute or two; the real setup starts with the next step. If you already have a plan, skip ahead to step three and copy your subscription link.

02

Choose a plan

Plans in the panel are billed in one of two ways. Monthly subscriptions are billed from your activation date and data resets on that date each month; data packs are bought once and used until they run out, never expiring — handy if your usage varies a lot. Both use the same pool of routes, with no difference in features.

There are three monthly tiers: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB and ¥28/month for 500GB. They differ only in monthly data — routes, clients and device limits are the same. If you want to upgrade mid-cycle, you pay the prorated difference for the remaining days; no new account and no need to wait for the current period to end. Data packs come in three sizes: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB, valid until used up.

Once you've picked a tier, head to checkout; payment options are Alipay, WeChat and USDT. After paying, go back to the panel — the order status changes from pending to active and the subscription details appear on the overview. If you're unsure about usage, start with the lowest tier: your first payment is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can upgrade later based on what you actually use.

03

Copy your subscription link

After signing in, stay on the overview page — the subscription details are usually above the fold: plan name, data used, next reset date and a subscription link. Click “Copy subscription” to grab the whole link, which looks like this:

https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN

The address above is an example; use whatever the panel shows. This link works as your account credential — anyone who has it can import your nodes — so don't post it in group chats or on public pages.

When you set up another device, import the same link again; there's no need to buy anything new. If you suspect the link has leaked, reset the subscription address in the panel — the old link stops working immediately — then update the subscription once in each client.

A single account isn't limited by device count: several devices can be online at the same time, and you don't need a separate purchase for each one. Once you have a few devices, give the client on each one a recognisable name so you can tell at a glance which device is using data when you troubleshoot.

04

Import into your client

The path is broadly the same on all four platforms: install the client → find the subscription or configuration section → paste the link → update → the node list appears. Client installers are on the download page in the panel, available once you're signed in; this page doesn't link to installers directly. Below, each platform is covered separately — button names may vary slightly between versions.

Windows

Download and install the Windows client. If a firewall prompt appears on first launch, allow access on private networks. Open the “Subscription” page, paste the copied link into the field and click “Update subscription”; a few seconds later the node list appears in the left sidebar. From then on, switch routes by picking from that list — no need to import again.

Where to import: Subscription → paste the link → Update subscription

macOS

Drag the installer into Applications and open it. On first launch macOS asks whether to allow a network extension — you must allow it, otherwise the client opens but can't connect. After granting permission, restart the client, paste the link on the “Subscription” page and update; the node list appears in the main window.

Where to import: Settings → Subscription → paste the link

Android

Install the Android client. On first launch it asks for permission to create a VPN connection — allow it, or the tunnel can't be established. Go to “Subscription” → “Add subscription”, paste the link, save and tap update; the nodes appear on the home screen. Some manufacturers' battery-saving policies kill background processes, so add the client to the battery optimisation allowlist to avoid drops after the screen locks.

Where to import: Subscription → Add subscription → Save and update

iOS

Get the client from the App Store — the download link is on the panel's download page, visible once you're signed in. On the first connection iOS asks to add a VPN configuration; tap allow and confirm with your device passcode once. Open the subscription page in the client, paste the link, update and pick a route. iOS allows only one VPN configuration to be connected at a time, so disconnect the previous one before switching clients.

Where to import: Configuration → Add subscription → paste the link

Linux

On Linux, use a client that supports subscription import: add the link as a remote configuration and then fetch the nodes. When pasting the link on the command line, wrap it in quotes so the shell doesn't interpret characters in it as something else.

Where to import: Configuration → Remote subscription → Fetch nodes

The step that goes wrong most often is copying the link: it's long, and manual selection easily misses the last characters. Use the copy button in the panel, then check that it starts with https:// and has no trailing spaces before you hit update.

Most clients can refresh subscriptions on a schedule, pulling once every few hours by default. After changing route groups in the panel, click “Update subscription” once to bring the new nodes in immediately instead of waiting for the next automatic refresh.

05

Connect and verify

Back on the client's home screen, pick a route from the node list. For a first run, choose by purpose: a group labelled for streaming if you're watching video, the matching group for AI tools, or the lowest-latency route for everyday browsing. After you tap connect, the status changes from “Disconnected” to “Connected”, and the status line shows the current route and encryption method — the encryption field is labelled quantum encryption throughout.

There are two simple ways to check it's working. First, open an international site you can't normally reach — if it loads, the link is up. Second, open the “My IP” page and see whether the exit IP's location has changed to the country or region of the route. If the IP location changed but pages are still slow, you've usually picked the wrong route: try another one rather than reinstalling the client.

If the status stays on connecting: disconnect and reconnect once; then check on the overview page whether your plan has expired or your data has run out; then make sure the system time is accurate, since a large clock skew makes the encrypted handshake fail; finally try another route to rule out a single bad one. Work through them in that order and most problems are pinned down within the first two steps.

Once the connection is stable, add your usual routes to favourites in the client so you can pick them straight from the list next time instead of scrolling through a long one. If you need different apps to use different exit points, look at the client's per-app proxy settings; the details are covered in the streaming unlock guide and the Help Center.

Stuck? Check here first

If you've been through all five steps and still can't connect, work through the checks below before heading to the Help Center:

  • Subscription update fails or the node list is empty: usually the link wasn't copied in full, or the account has expired. Go back to the overview, copy it again and check your plan status while you're there.
  • It says connected but pages won't load: switch to another route, check the system time and make sure the client has network permission; if that doesn't help, see the connection section of the Help Center.
  • Data is draining faster than expected: check whether several devices are online at once, and whether video quality is set to the highest level.
  • Want to know about streaming regions and route choice: each platform's regional restrictions, native IPs and 4K bandwidth requirements are covered in the streaming unlock guide; this page keeps to the main path that works.

The Help Center groups common questions into four sections — account and subscription, connection and troubleshooting, speed and routes, billing and refunds. Start here.
