6NVPN Setup Guide

Account setup, plans, subscription import, and connection checks. Follow the steps in order, or jump to the relevant section if you already have an account or subscription.

Interfaces vary by platform and client version. This guide uses general labels such as “subscription,” “configuration,” and “import from link”; follow the client instructions in your user panel and the labels in your app. After importing, select a server, connect, and check that your target app is using it.

Create an Account and Sign In

Open the account creation page in the user panel and follow the prompts to set a username and password. 6NVPN does not require an email address; you can create an account with just a username and password. Choose a username you’ll recognize, use a unique password, and save it in a trusted password manager. Check your details before submitting, then follow the prompts to enter the user panel.

Once in the panel, find the account overview and make sure you’re signed in to the account you just created. Plan status, data usage, and subscription options are all shown for that account. If you already have an account, sign in with your existing details rather than creating another one. Otherwise, your plan and subscription could end up under different accounts, making it easy to retrieve the wrong link later.

Your account password is for signing in to the panel; your subscription link is for loading configuration into a client. They serve different purposes. If a client asks you to paste a subscription, don’t enter your login password. Create your account first, then choose a billing option based on how often you expect to use the service.

Choose a Plan and Review Your Order

In the plan section of the panel, compare billing options first, then data allowances. Monthly plans include ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on the date you activate the plan, not at the end of the calendar month. If you use the service regularly, choose a tier based on your actual video, file transfer, and everyday app usage—not just the number of devices.

If your usage is occasional, compare the data packages: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. Data is available until used and never expires. Monthly plans and data packages use different billing models, so don’t treat a monthly plan’s price as the cost of permanent data. See the plan pricing page for full prices and terms.

On the order page, check the plan name, price, and data allowance again, then pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. Once payment is complete, return to the panel and wait for the order status to update. Confirm that the plan appears in your account overview. If the payment page shows completion but the panel hasn’t updated yet, check the existing order rather than placing another one. If you need help, describe the order in a support ticket from the panel.

All plans allow unlimited simultaneous devices and include a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Review the adjustment shown on the page before confirming. Once your plan status is confirmed, get your subscription link.

Get and Secure Your Subscription Link

Return to the account overview in the user panel and find the subscription section. A subscription link isn’t the address of a particular server; it lets your client retrieve server configuration. Once imported, the client turns the subscription into a list of servers to choose from. When servers or settings change, you can usually refresh the subscription instead of creating a new account.

If the panel offers an import button for your client, open the client first, then use the button and confirm if your system asks whether to open the app. If the browser doesn’t launch the client, copy the subscription link instead: copy the full link from the panel, then choose the client’s import-from-link option. Don’t include explanatory text, line breaks, or extra spaces when pasting. Make sure you’re not copying the panel page address from the browser’s address bar.

The link contains information used to retrieve your personal configuration, so protect it like your login credentials. Don’t post it in public forums or share screenshots that show the full link. When troubleshooting, details such as the error message, platform, and steps you took are usually more helpful. If you think the link has been exposed, check whether the panel offers a reset option and follow its instructions. After a reset, replace the old link in any clients you use.

There’s no need to keep reopening the link in your browser after copying it. Next, import it into the client for your platform. For more on refreshing, expired links, and safe storage, see the guide to getting, importing, and updating subscription links.

Open Account Overview

Import into a Client on Each Platform

Go to the downloads section in the user panel, choose your device’s platform, and get the client as instructed. This page doesn’t provide direct installer links, and you shouldn’t download lookalike apps from unfamiliar sources. Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux users can access the client after signing in. For iOS, check the user panel for the current plan requirements and instructions. The steps below cover common options; button names may vary by version.

Get the Client

Windows: Import a Subscription and Set Up the System Proxy

Use the Windows desktop client provided in the panel, or a subscription-based client that the panel’s import option explicitly supports. After installing and opening it, look for “Subscription,” “Configuration,” or a similar section. Choose the option to add from a URL or link, then paste the full subscription you copied. Give the configuration a recognizable name, save it, and refresh. Make sure server names appear rather than an empty configuration.

Set that configuration as active, choose an exit server on the proxy or server page, then enable the connection and system proxy as instructed by the client. Simply opening the app doesn’t mean your system apps are using the proxy. If another proxy app is running, quit it and restore its proxy settings to avoid conflicts. Office and gaming apps may handle the system proxy differently, so verify the connection in the apps you actually use.

macOS: Activate a Configuration and Approve the Connection

Use the macOS client provided in the panel or a subscription-based client compatible with the panel’s import method. Open configuration management and paste the subscription using an option such as Add Subscription or Import from Link. Save and refresh. When the server list appears, set this configuration as active, then choose a server and proxy mode. Saving the link without activating the configuration may leave the previous settings in use.

The first time you connect, macOS may ask you to approve network settings or related permissions. Check the app’s source, then approve it as prompted by the system. Don’t disable system security settings to skip the checks. If there’s no connection after approval, check the client’s error message and make sure another network tool isn’t also controlling the proxy. Keep the client running after setup, then check your exit route and apps.

Android: Refresh the Subscription and Approve the VPN Connection

Use the Android client provided in the panel, or a subscription-based client supported by its import option. Open the configuration or subscription page, choose Add from Link, paste and save the subscription, then refresh the configuration. Return to the home screen, select the imported configuration and a server, and tap Connect. When Android first asks to allow a VPN connection, make sure the request comes from the client you’re using before approving it.

After connecting, test your target app while the screen is on, then check what happens when the screen is locked or you switch networks. If the connection drops only in the background, check whether battery management is restricting the client and allow it to run in the background as needed; there’s no need to disable every power-saving feature from the start. Per-app proxy settings determine which apps use the route, so make sure your target app is included if you’ve enabled this feature.

iOS: Get the Client and Import Your Subscription

Check the user panel for instructions on getting the iOS client. The iOS download option requires a purchased, unexpired plan; follow the panel and App Store for current availability and steps. If you see a message about store region or eligibility, follow the relevant instructions. Don’t give your account password to someone else to do this for you. After installation, use the matching import option provided by the panel, or choose Add from Link on the client’s subscription or configuration page.

After importing, refresh the server list, select a configuration and server, then connect. When prompted to add a VPN configuration, check the app name before approving. If the client says the import succeeded but no servers appear, return to the subscription page and check the refresh result and any error message instead of importing the same link repeatedly. While connected, make sure this configuration is active and hasn’t been replaced by another VPN configuration.

Once the subscription is imported on each device, everyday use usually just means choosing a server and connecting in the client. Protocol choices, split tunneling, and server topology aren’t needed for these basic setup steps. For more advanced adjustments, see the technical guide to servers and protocols.

Connect to a Server and Verify the Connection

In the client’s server list, choose one that meets the region requirements of the service you want to use, then connect. If you don’t need a specific region, start with a commonly used one rather than switching through several servers. A connection icon or system VPN indicator only confirms that the connection component is enabled; it doesn’t prove that every app is using the selected route.

Open the IP lookup page to check the exit IP and region shown for your browser, then open the app you actually want to use and test sign-in, page loading, and other actions. With rule-based routing, the IP lookup page may connect directly, so interpret its result in light of your current mode. A successful browser test doesn’t prove that other apps use the same route. For more detailed checks, see the guide to checking your exit IP and DNS.

If the target app still won’t connect, first confirm that the subscription refreshes and your plan is active. Then check the active configuration and selected server, followed by the system proxy, VPN permission, and per-app settings. Change one thing at a time and retest the same app so you can tell whether the issue comes from the configuration, server, or app. Avoid changing the protocol, server, and mode all at once; even if the connection returns, you won’t know why.

If a server connects but a specific service reports a region or account issue, check the service’s own regional rules, account status, and on-screen message. A working network connection alone doesn’t establish eligibility. Video quality and AI tool responses can also depend on the service, device, and local network. This guide doesn’t treat a successful connection as proof that a service will work as intended.

After testing, keep the configuration that worked and refresh the subscription when needed. If the issue persists, open a support ticket in the user panel and include your device platform, the client’s error message, the affected app, and the checks you’ve tried. Hide your subscription link and sensitive account details in screenshots. To learn about direct connections, relays, dedicated routes, and performance during peak hours, see Servers and Protocols. There’s no need to change advanced settings one by one during your first connection.
