Follow along and you'll be up and running
From creating an account to verifying your connection, it's one straight path. Each step tells you exactly where to click and what you'll see, so you can just follow along.
Using VPNAN comes down to five steps: sign up, choose a plan, get your subscription, import it into a client, and connect. Each step below spells out where to go and what to expect. If it's your first time, follow them in order. Once you're familiar, you'll only need to repeat two actions: import the subscription and connect.
Create an account
Open the sign-up page and you'll be asked for a username and password. The username is what you'll use to log in. No email address is needed — just pick one you can remember. For the password, use at least 8 characters with a mix of letters and numbers, and don't reuse a password from another site.
After filling in the form, click submit and you'll be taken straight to the user dashboard — your account is now created. If the username is already taken, just try another one; you won't need to re-enter the rest of the information.
Once you've signed up, you can see your account details on the "Overview" page of the dashboard. At this point your account has no data allowance yet, so the next step is to choose a plan to add traffic. If you already have an account, just click "Log in" in the navigation bar to get to the dashboard.
Choose a plan and place an order
On the plans page, pick the plan that suits you. VPNAN offers three monthly plans, with data resetting on your billing date each month:
- Monthly · 60GB ¥9.9/mo
- Monthly · 250GB ¥18/mo
- Monthly · 500GB ¥28/mo
If you need more data, you can add a data pack. It lasts until you use it all up and never expires:
- Data Pack · 300GB ¥158
- Data Pack · 1000GB ¥358
- Data Pack · 3000GB ¥658
After choosing a plan, click "Get Started" to begin the order process. Payment is available via Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT. Once payment is complete, the plan activates immediately and your data allowance is credited right away. If you upgrade your plan partway through a billing cycle, the price difference is prorated based on the remaining days, so you won't pay twice.
All plans come with a 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If a payment times out or fails, you can go back to the order page and submit it again — any amount already charged will be refunded automatically. After placing an order, you can check its payment status on the "Orders" page.
Get your subscription
After payment, log in to the user dashboard and go to the "Overview" page. In the subscription section, you'll see a subscription link that looks like https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. Click the copy button to put the full link on your clipboard.
The subscription link is what identifies your account to the client and contains your account details, so don't share it publicly. If you switch devices, just import the same subscription link on the new device — there's no need to get a new one.
If you don't see a subscription link on the Overview page, first make sure your plan is active. Once the plan is active, the subscription link is generated automatically. If the plan is active but the link still isn't showing, refresh the page or log in again.
Your subscription link is long-term and doesn't need to be re-fetched every time you connect. It only stops working when your account runs out of data or your subscription expires.
Import into your client
Once you have your subscription link, you can import it into a client. VPNAN supports Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux. Below we'll go through the import process by platform — just jump to the one you're using.
Get the Windows client installer from the "Downloads" page in the user dashboard. Install and open the client. On first launch, you'll usually be asked to choose the "Import subscription" or "Profile" option. Paste the subscription link you copied earlier and click import. Once imported, the client will show the list of available routes.
Pick a route and click "Connect". We recommend starting with a Hong Kong or Singapore route, as they usually have lower latency. Once connected, you'll see a connected status in the taskbar or in the client interface.
Get the macOS client installer from the "Downloads" page in the user dashboard. After installing, open the client and find the "Subscriptions" or "Profiles" option in the menu bar or main interface. Paste your subscription link and import. Once imported, the route list loads automatically.
The macOS client uses the same subscription link as the Windows client — there's no need to get a separate one. Connecting is the same: choose a route and click connect. On first connection, macOS may prompt you to allow network access; just click Allow.
Get the Android client installer from the "Downloads" page in the user dashboard, or install it from an app store. Open the client, find the "Subscriptions" or "Profiles" option, paste your subscription link, and import.
Android restricts background apps, so after connecting, allow the client to run in the background in system settings to prevent battery optimization from killing the connection. After importing, choose a route and connect. When the VPN icon appears in the status bar, you're connected.
Search for the client in the App Store and install it. Open the client, tap the "Subscriptions" or "Profiles" option, paste your subscription link, and import. The iOS client loads the route list automatically after import.
When you choose a route and connect, iOS will show a system prompt asking you to "Allow VPN configuration" — tap Allow. Once connected, the VPN icon appears in the status bar.
Connect and verify
After connecting, it's a good idea to verify that your traffic is actually going through the route. There are two common ways to do this:
- Check your IP location: Open an IP lookup page and see whether the location of your current exit IP matches the route you selected. For example, if you chose a Hong Kong route, the IP location should show Hong Kong.
- Check the target site: Just open the site you want to use — like a streaming platform or an AI tool — and see whether the content loads normally.
If you can't connect, work through this in order: first try a different route; then check that your subscription link was imported correctly; finally, restart the client and connect again. Most connection issues are solved by switching routes.
Connection speed is affected by your local network, route load, and time of day. During peak hours (8 pm to 11 pm), if you notice higher latency, try switching to a relay route or a node in another region. If that doesn't help, check the troubleshooting section of the Streaming Guide, or contact support to submit a ticket.
