From sign-up to connected

Click "Log in" in the top right of the page, or the "Start Free" button on this page — both land on the sign-up page in the user panel. The form has just two fields: username and password. There's no email verification step, so submitting takes you straight to the panel overview.

Your username is also what you'll log in with later, so pick something you'll remember that doesn't contain personal details. Use a password you don't use anywhere else — not the same one as your email or social accounts. No email address is needed here, which means no waiting for a verification message or digging through a spam folder for a link.

Don't close the page straight after signing up. The overview shows your account status: whether a plan is active, how much data is left and when the subscription expires. A new account usually has no plan yet — that's the next step.

The panel offers two kinds of plan: monthly subscriptions and data packs. The routes are the same — the difference is billing. Monthly subscriptions reset every month on your activation date; data packs are used up and never expire. The tiers and prices are below.

How to choose: if you use it every month at a fairly steady rate, a monthly subscription fits better — the ¥9.9 tier includes 60GB, enough for everyday browsing and documents. If you watch a lot of video or move large files, the 250GB and 500GB tiers are easier to live with. If you only need it occasionally, or don't want to be tied to a monthly reset, a data pack is better value: buy once and it sits there until you've used it up.

You can upgrade a monthly subscription mid-cycle; the difference is prorated by remaining days, so you don't have to void the current period and buy again.

Checkout accepts Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. Once payment clears, the panel activates automatically and the remaining data on the overview switches to the new tier's allowance. There's also a 30-day refund: buy a plan and use it for a week — that tells you more than ten reviews.

After payment, go back to the panel overview and find the subscription area. It gives you two things: a subscription link and a QR code. They're the same subscription in two forms — paste the link if your client supports it, scan the code if you're on mobile.

The subscription link looks roughly like this (format example only — not your account's real address):

The token at the end of the link is the credential for this subscription: anyone who has it can use it. So don't post it in group chats, forums or public documents. When sending it to another device of your own, use the QR code where you can and skip chat apps.

If the overview shows 0 data remaining, or the subscription has expired, go back a step and confirm the order was paid, then refresh the page. Renewing doesn't change the link itself — hit "Update subscription" once in the client to pull the latest route list.

You get the client from the download area in the panel — log in and download the installer for your platform. Once it's installed, the import entry usually sits under Subscription, Profile or Servers. The order is the same on all four platforms: find the import entry → paste the subscription link or scan the code → update the subscription → pick a node.

The clients offered in the panel already have the import entry built in, so there's no need to enter server addresses, ports and encryption methods by hand. If you already have a third-party client you like, the same subscription link pastes straight into it — follow that client's own instructions for the exact steps.

One account covers unlimited devices online at the same time — phone, tablet and computer can share the same subscription, with no separate plan for each device.

The node list is usually grouped by region: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, São Paulo, Sydney, Dubai and more — 100+ countries / 250+ routes in total. There are three route types: IEPL dedicated, relayed and direct. At peak evening hours, prefer IEPL dedicated routes; for everyday browsing and documents, relayed and direct are enough. If a region won't connect, switch to another route in the same region first rather than changing clients.

After you hit connect, the client status changes from "Disconnected" to "Connected", and the icon in the menu bar or status bar changes with it. Then verify three things in order:

If all three check out, you're good to go. If the first one fails, switch to another route in the same region in the client and try again; if two or three routes fail, check whether the subscription has expired or the data is used up — both are visible on the overview page. If the subscription is still valid and you've tried other routes and it still won't connect, open a ticket in the user panel and include the client version and the region that's failing.

One more thing: don't judge a route on a single speed test. Results vary a lot with time of day, ISP and target server — peak evening and early morning can differ by a wide margin. If you want to test for yourself, keep the conditions fixed: same time window, same tool, same target address, three days in a row, then compare.
