Five steps to get started

Step 1

Create an account

Every page has a Log In link in the top right corner that takes you to the user panel; the bottom of the login page lets you switch to the sign-up form, or you can use the button below this step. The form has just two fields: username and password. Pick a username you will remember — letters plus numbers work well — and choose a longer password that mixes upper and lower case with digits.

Signing up does not require an email address. After you submit, you go straight into the panel — no verification email to wait for and no extra confirmation step. This step only creates the account and costs nothing; you choose a plan separately in the next step, and no order exists until you do.

If you already have an account, just log in instead of signing up again. Your session stays in the current browser by default; switching browsers or clearing the cache means logging in once more.

Step 2

Choose a plan and check out

Once you are logged in, the plans section of the panel shows three monthly options: ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB and ¥28/month with 500GB. The only difference between them is the monthly data allowance — 120+ countries / 180+ routes, unlimited devices and the 60-day money-back guarantee are the same on all three.

To pick one, a rough estimate of how you normally use it is enough:

• Mostly messaging, reading and the occasional video during the day: start with the ¥9.9 plan and upgrade later if you need more.
• Frequent HD video and long AI tool sessions: start at ¥18 so you are not reworking things mid-month.
• Several devices at home sharing one account, or online most of the day: the 500GB on the ¥28 plan is the easier choice.

Data resets monthly on the day you signed up, not on the 1st of the month. Upgrading mid-cycle does not require a new order — you pay the prorated difference for the remaining days. If one month runs heavy, you can also buy a standalone data pack: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB or ¥658/3000GB. These are used up as you go, never expire, and are not cleared by the monthly reset.

Payment options are Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. Complete payment on the order page and the plan takes effect immediately; the panel overview shows the expiry date and data used. Plans come with a 60-day money-back guarantee — see the refund policy page for the exact process.

Step 3

Copy your subscription link

After payment, go back to the Overview in the panel. There is a subscription section showing this account's subscription link, with a copy button and a few one-click import options next to it. The link is a long address with parameters — copy it and store it somewhere you can always open.

The subscription link works like account credentials: anyone who has it can use your data. So do not post it in group chats, paste it into public documents or share screenshots of it. If you suspect it has leaked, reset the subscription in the panel — the old link stops working immediately — then update once in the client.

Here is what it looks like — an example only, not a working link:

The same section also shows data used, data remaining and the expiry date. Data resets monthly on your sign-up day; separately purchased data packs are used up as you go, never expire and are not cleared by the monthly reset. Keep the two separate when you check usage and you will not think your data is draining faster than it should.

Step 4

Import into your client

VPNVL clients cover five platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux. Installers are only available in the Download section of the panel after you log in — grab the one for your system. This page provides no direct download links, and third-party sites are not a recommended source for installers.

There are two ways to import a subscription, and they do the same thing. Either copy the link from the previous step, open the Subscription or Configuration page in the client, click Add Subscription and paste it in; or click one-click import in the panel's subscription section, which opens the client you already have installed and fills it in automatically. Either way, click Update once afterwards so the client pulls the server list.

Step 5

Connect and verify

Click connect in the client and the status goes from Disconnected to Connected, usually within seconds. Once connected, check your exit first: open the connection test page and run it once before connecting and once after. If the location changes from your local country to the country or region of the server, and the exit IP is different, your traffic is going through the route.

Then check real-world access: open an international site that normally loads slowly for you. If the page opens, images load and video starts playing, you are connected. If the client says connected but the test page still shows your local location, it is usually one of these:

• The client is not handling system traffic. Some clients need System Proxy or TUN mode switched on manually — if you only hit connect and left the proxy toggle off, your browser still uses the local network.
• Another proxy extension or proxy app is still active in your browser or system and is routing traffic elsewhere. Turn those off and test again.
• The subscription has not been updated and the server you selected has changed. Go back to the client, click Update once and pick a server again.
• The system firewall or security software is blocking the client's network extension. Allow it as prompted, then restart the client.

If it still will not connect after ruling those out, do not keep reinstalling the client. Work through the troubleshooting order on the servers and protocols reference page — subscription, client permissions, server selection, in that order — which is much faster than reinstalling blindly.

Plans are not limited by device count: the same account can be logged in on several devices at once, each importing the subscription once. You do not need a second plan for a second device. As devices pile up, glance at data usage in the panel once a week and consider upgrading or adding a data pack when you get close to the cap.
