Create an Account and Sign In
Open the account creation page in the user dashboard and enter a username and password. No email address required—just a username and password. Choose a username that’s easy to recognize but doesn’t reveal sensitive personal information, and use a unique password for this service. Before submitting, check your entries, especially any values filled in by your password manager.
After creating your account, follow the on-screen prompts to open the account overview. Use this page to check your plan, get your subscription, and manage orders; it’s still important after the client is installed. Make sure you can sign in before moving on to plan selection. If you already have an account, choose “Sign In” in the navigation instead of creating another one.
Save your username and password. Use the same account on other devices; your subscription and orders are managed there too. If sign-in fails, check your input method, spaces, and letter case rather than repeatedly creating new accounts. For help, see Account and Subscription FAQs. Keeping payments and subscriptions under one account makes them easier to manage.
Choose a Plan and Complete Your Order
Open the plans section in the user dashboard. First compare monthly plans with data packages, then consider the data allowance. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on the day the plan starts. For regular use, compare the monthly plans; if you’re unsure how much data you need, estimate based on video streaming, downloads, and use across your devices—not just the number of clients.
Data packages are ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, and ¥658 for 3000GB. They expire only when the data is used and never expire based on time. The difference from a monthly plan is how the data is used, not which devices are supported. VPNRN allows unlimited devices online at the same time, but check usage records in your account to see how much data each device consumes. To compare all options, read Plan Pricing and Billing before returning to the dashboard.
After choosing a plan, check that the plan name, price, and data allowance in the order match your selection, then follow the prompts to pay. Available payment methods are Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. When payment is complete, return to the dashboard and wait for the order confirmation. Check that the selected plan appears in your account. If the status hasn’t updated, refresh or reopen the orders section before taking any further action; don’t pay again until the order is confirmed.
This service offers a 30-day no-questions-asked refund; see the Terms of Service for details. If you upgrade a monthly plan partway through its term, the price difference is converted into the remaining days. Check the result shown in the dashboard before confirming a change. Once the plan is active, get your subscription. This helps distinguish an inactive plan from a client connection issue.
Get Your Subscription from the Dashboard
Return to the account overview and check your plan status and remaining data, then find the subscription or import section. A subscription isn’t an installer; it gives the client access to route configurations. The available regions and connection settings appear only after the client loads the subscription. So if you’ve installed the client but haven’t imported your subscription, not seeing any routes doesn’t mean the installation failed.
If the dashboard has a direct import option for your client, install the client first, then select that option and allow the browser to open the app. If the app doesn’t launch or the system can’t identify the client, choose an option such as “Copy Subscription” and add the link manually in the client. Paste it as soon as you can; don’t pass it through a chat window or public document.
When importing manually, copy the entire link—not just the domain at the beginning or part of the link from a screenshot. Example format: https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. This is a fictitious example and cannot be used to import a subscription; get your actual link from your account overview. If the client reports an invalid format after you paste it, copy the link again and check for spaces, line breaks, or extra text.
Keep your subscription link safe as you would any account credential. If you need help, share the client name, the steps that led to the issue, and any error message—but never share the full link publicly. To refresh routes, use “Update Subscription” in the client; you usually don’t need to create the configuration again. If you think someone else has accessed your link, check whether the dashboard offers a reset option, or contact support through a ticket after signing in.
Install for Your Platform and Import
Open the client downloads section in the user dashboard and select your device’s platform. Use the VPNRN client and import method provided in the dashboard; don’t download installers with the same name from unknown sources. Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux clients are available after sign-in; access to the iOS option depends on having an active plan. On every platform, get your subscription from the dashboard after signing in. Downloading a client and getting a working subscription are separate steps.
Windows: Add a Subscription
Choose the Windows client in the downloads section, install it by following the on-screen instructions, and open it. Return to the dashboard and try direct import. To import manually, find “Configuration,” “Subscription,” or a similar option in the client, choose to add a link, and paste the subscription you copied. Give it a recognizable name, such as “VPNRN,” save it, and update the configuration.
After the update, you should see a list of routes or proxy groups. Select the configuration you just added to make it active, then open the connection screen. If the client offers system proxy or virtual network options, enable the option you need according to its instructions. When the system first asks for permission, check the app’s source before confirming. Don’t let multiple proxy clients take control of the system at the same time, or your verification may reflect a different configuration.
macOS: Check the Configuration and System Permissions
Select the macOS client in the dashboard, install it, and open it from your Applications list. If you import through the dashboard, the browser may ask to open the app; make sure it’s the client you installed before proceeding. For manual import, open configuration management, choose the option to add a URL or subscription link, paste the full address, save and update it, then set the configuration as active.
If macOS asks to add a network configuration or grant connection-related permissions, read the prompt before following the client’s instructions. The client may keep running from the menu bar after you close its main window. When switching routes, check the status in the client that’s actually running rather than relying on whether its window is open. Once the route list appears, keep the default rule mode for now; you can consider changing it after verification.
Android: Allow the Connection After Import
Sign in to the dashboard to get the Android client, then install it as prompted on your device. Open the app, go to subscriptions or configurations, choose Add, and import by link. Paste the subscription and save it. If you use the dashboard’s direct import option, switch back to the client and confirm that the configuration appears before updating it. Seeing the app open in the browser doesn’t mean the subscription has been saved successfully.
Choose the active configuration and route, then tap Connect. The first time you connect on Android, the system usually displays a confirmation prompt; check the app and allow the connection. If the connection drops when the app goes into the background, check the client’s status, then review any background activity restrictions for the app. Don’t change all battery settings at once. First check whether the disconnect is related to switching apps, locking the screen, or changing networks.
iOS: Get the Client Through the Active Plan Option
First check that your account has an active plan, then open the iOS client option in the dashboard and follow the instructions to the App Store. If the option requires an active plan, return to the overview and check your plan status instead of looking for a public download link. After installing the app, return to the dashboard and use the matching import option. To import manually, add the link in the client’s subscription or configuration manager.
Save and update the subscription, then check that the region list appears and select the active configuration. The first time you connect, iOS may ask permission to add a VPN configuration; follow the system prompt, then return to the client. If the import option opens the app but no new configuration appears, check for a pending confirmation or save screen before trying a manual import. This avoids ending up with multiple configurations that are hard to tell apart.
Linux and Other Import Issues
For Linux, get the client from the dashboard and follow its instructions to choose the right version and import method. For platform-specific, step-by-step instructions, see the Complete Guide. If a subscription update fails, first check your plan status, that the link is complete, and your device’s network connection. Then see Connection and Troubleshooting FAQs; there’s no need to delete every configuration and reinstall right away.
Connect to a Route and Verify It Works
Return to the client’s connection screen, confirm that the imported configuration is active, and choose a region. VPNRN covers 100+ countries / 150+ routes. When choosing a route, start with the destination’s region or one supported by the service, then consider the route type. For your first connection, keep the client’s default rule mode so requests that need an international route are handled accordingly. Avoid changing the mode, DNS, and routing rules all at once.
After tapping Connect, check whether the client shows a connected status or any errors, then open IP Check to verify your current exit location. With split routing enabled, the IP check and the destination service may use different routes, so it’s only a clue—not proof that every app is covered. Also open the site you actually want to use and confirm that it loads, you can continue signing in, or a video plays normally.
For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, try to keep the same exit region after connecting and avoid switching regions frequently during sign-in. A successful connection doesn’t guarantee that a service will allow your account to access it; the service’s regional policies, account status, and risk controls still apply. For route selection tips, see AI Tools Access Guide. For differences in streaming catalogs and service rules, see Streaming Availability.
If you’re connected but a site won’t open, retrace the setup steps: Is your plan active? Did the subscription update successfully? Is the right configuration selected? Have you granted the required system permissions? Then leave other settings unchanged, switch to one route suited to the destination region, and test again. This helps pinpoint whether the issue is with the configuration, route, or destination service—without changing several options at once and losing track of the cause.
After confirming the connection works, note the configuration and region you used. Update the subscription in the client to get changes to the route configuration. If access issues arise after switching Wi-Fi or another network, first check whether the client disconnected automatically, then reconnect and test the destination site again. Check data usage and plan status in the dashboard. You can use the same account on multiple devices, but complete the import, permission checks, and connection verification separately on each one.
