Five steps to your first connection
From creating an account to confirming your traffic really takes the international route, these five steps in order get you up and running. Each one says where to click and what you should see — finish a step before moving on to the next.
Clients on each platform are maintained by different teams, so menu names and nesting don't always match. This page describes the common path: look for entries such as Subscription, Configuration or Import from clipboard — you don't need an exact wording match. Where a version looks very different, follow what the client actually shows.

Create your account
Signing up takes two things: a username and a password. This service doesn't ask for an email address, so you submit the form and land straight in the dashboard — there's no verification email to wait for. Your username is also your login, so use at least 6 characters of letters and numbers. Avoid non-Latin characters, spaces and special symbols: some clients handle non-ASCII characters inconsistently when pasting a configuration, which causes trouble in the later steps.
Keep your password safe. Because sign-up doesn't collect an email address, there's no email-based recovery — that's the trade-off for storing as little personal information as possible. Put the username and password in a password manager, or somewhere only you can reach. After you submit, the page moves to the dashboard overview, which means you're already signed in — no second login.
If opening the sign-up page drops you straight on the overview, your browser still holds a session from last time. Skip this step and start with choosing a plan. If you're told the username is taken, try another one — changing the spelling is faster than refreshing.

Choose a plan and pay
Monthly plans come in three tiers. Routes, clients and features are identical — only the monthly data differs: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets every month on the day you subscribed: sign up on the 5th and your allowance refreshes on the 5th of each following month. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated over the remaining days, so you don't buy the same plan twice. All traffic uses quantum encryption, and there's no cap on simultaneous devices — desktop, phone and tablet can all stay connected at once.
Not sure how much you'll use in a month? Start with 60GB. Everyday research, file transfers and the occasional episode usually fit; if you watch 4K regularly or keep AI tools and code repositories connected all day, the 250GB tier is easier. You can upgrade between tiers at any time, so starting low costs you nothing.
If you'd rather not renew monthly, look at the data packs: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB, valid until used up, with no expiry. For business trips, travel or short projects with concentrated use, a data pack fits better than a monthly plan — unused data doesn't reset next month.

Once you've picked a tier, submit the order. Payment options are Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. After you scan the code or transfer, the order status changes to paid and a usable subscription appears on the overview page. First-time purchases can be refunded within 7 days, no questions asked — the terms are in the Terms of Service, worth a look before you order.

Get your subscription link
The subscription is the only credential between your client and your account. It's a link with parameters, shaped like
https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. The one above is an example — YOUR_TOKEN is a placeholder and won't import. The real link only appears in the dashboard after you sign in; neither this page nor any email sends it to you.Sign in to the dashboard, open the overview page and find the subscription section; click the copy button to put the link on your clipboard. If the dashboard offers several formats, pick the one that matches your client: Clash format for Clash-based clients, sing-box format for sing-box-based ones. If you're unsure, copy the default entry — most clients can read it. Don't edit a single character afterwards: one extra space or one missing parameter makes the import fail.
A subscription link works like a username and password: anyone who has it can use up your data. Don't post it in group chats, don't screenshot it, and don't save it on a shared computer. When you switch devices, just copy it again — there's no need to keep it in a chat history long term.
Every subscription address on this page is an example and will always fail to import. Copy the real link from your dashboard and paste it only into your own client.

Import the subscription into your client
Installers all live in the dashboard's download area: sign in, pick the build for your system and install it. This page doesn't link to any direct downloads. The import path is really the same on all four platforms — add a configuration, import from clipboard, update — and the differences are the system permissions and pop-ups on first launch. The table below maps the entry points; find your system, then read the matching section.
Import entry points on the four platforms Platform Where to get the client Import entry First-time permission Windows Dashboard download area Configuration → Import from clipboard Allow via the installer wizard macOS Dashboard download area Menu bar icon → Configuration Allow in Privacy & Security + network extension Android Dashboard download area Configuration → Import from clipboard VPN connection request + battery optimization allowlist iOS App Store (link in the dashboard) Configuration → Import from clipboard Add VPN configuration Windows
Download the Windows build from the dashboard and double-click it to run the installer. On first launch the client minimizes to the notification area in the bottom-right corner, and the main window stays empty until you add a configuration: open the Configuration or Subscription page, choose Import from clipboard, and the link you copied in step 3 fills in automatically. Confirm it, click Update, and the server list appears. Don't connect straight away — check two settings first: Launch at startup, which decides whether the client stays in the tray after boot, and System proxy, which decides whether the client takes over browser traffic.
macOS
The macOS build also comes from the dashboard: drag the app into Applications, then launch it. The first launch is blocked with a warning that the developer can't be verified — go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway and enter your login password again. The client needs a network extension to take over traffic, so allow it when the prompt appears; otherwise the toggle does nothing. The import entry is in the menu bar icon: click it → Configuration → Import from clipboard → Update. If the permission prompt keeps reappearing, or it won't connect after installation, work through the macOS setup guide item by item.
Android
Get the Android build from the dashboard's download area. During installation the system asks you to allow apps from this source — grant it. Open the client, go to the Configuration page, choose Import from clipboard, paste the subscription link and save. Back on the home screen, tap update; once the server list loads, pick a suitable route and connect. On the first connection the system shows a VPN connection request — you have to tap OK and tick Always allow, or you'll repeat it on every reconnect. On phones with aggressive power saving, add the client to the battery optimization allowlist in system settings; otherwise it gets cleared in the background once the screen locks, and the connection drops after a while.
iOS
The iOS client is distributed through the App Store, with the link in the dashboard's download area; it only appears while your plan is active. Install it, open it, go to the configuration page, choose Import from clipboard, paste the link and save. On the first connection iOS asks whether to add a VPN configuration — tap Allow and confirm with Face ID or your passcode, and the configuration is written into the system. After that you can toggle it in the client or straight from the VPN section of system settings. If the add-configuration prompt never appears, check that no stale configuration is left in the system, then import again.

Connect and verify it works
The server list is usually grouped by region; Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Frankfurt are the common entry points. Start with one that's geographically close, or with the region where your target service lives: pick the matching region for streaming, and a route with a fast handshake for AI tools. Click the connect button next to a route; when the toggle turns on and the status reads Connected, that only means the client completed a handshake with the route — not that your traffic actually takes the international path.
Verification has three steps. First, the exit IP: open any IP lookup site in your browser, note the location before connecting, then check again after connecting — the location should change to the country or region the route sits in. Second, a target site: open an international site or AI tool page you normally can't reach; if it loads, the link works. Third, DNS: find the DNS leak test on the IP lookup site. If the resolver is still your local ISP, DNS queries aren't going through the route, which makes some sites fail to load or load very slowly. All three passing is what makes the connection genuinely active.
If you stall at step one, switch to another route and retry; if two or three routes still fail, look at the client logs and the system proxy settings. An unchanged exit IP, a DNS leak, one app that won't use the proxy, and mobile disconnects after the screen locks each have their own cause — the full troubleshooting order is in the troubleshooting guide, matched by symptom. To understand the verification method itself first, read how to confirm a VPN is really working.
There's only one standard: the exit IP changes to the route's location, the target site opens, and DNS resolution follows the route. Miss any one of the three and the connection isn't working.
