Import a Subscription and Connect

Follow the setup steps from account to client. If you have already completed part of the process, use the step list to skip ahead.

Create an account

Open the account creation page in the VPNWei dashboard. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. Choose a username you can store easily and set a unique password, then follow the on-screen instructions to open the dashboard. If you already have an account, use the login link on the right side of the navigation instead.

Once you’re in the dashboard, find “Account Overview” or the equivalent and make sure your account details load before choosing a plan. Your account is where you manage orders, plans, and subscriptions; the client handles the actual network connection on your device. They are separate interfaces: signing in through a browser does not mean your device is connected to an international route.

Store your username and password in a trusted password manager. Since account creation does not require an email address, don’t assume you can recover your account by email. If you have trouble signing in, follow the options actually available in the dashboard. On a shared device, sign out when you’re done and don’t let the browser save private information such as your subscription URL.

Try It Free

The account button does not imply a fixed free allowance or trial period. Plan prices and availability are shown in the dashboard. After creating your account, check the billing terms before proceeding.

Choose a plan and confirm your order

Open the plans section in the dashboard. First, distinguish monthly subscriptions from data packages, then compare the allowances with your usual needs. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB; monthly data resets on the activation date. Data packages are ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They expire when used up, but do not expire over time. These options have different billing models, so don’t treat a data package price as a monthly fee.

If you need regular access for work, study, or video, compare the monthly plans against your usual usage. If your usage is occasional, review the data package terms. There is no device limit, but using multiple devices still consumes your plan’s data. We don’t estimate data use by viewing time because video quality, apps, and background transfers all affect actual usage. Check the dashboard for your usage details.

After choosing a plan, review its name, data allowance, and total due on the order confirmation page. Follow the instructions to pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. When payment is complete, return to the order or account overview to check its status; a payment app confirmation alone does not mean the plan is active. If the status hasn’t updated, refresh the order and check the transaction record before trying again to avoid duplicate payment.

VPNWei offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy; see the refund policy for application details. When upgrading a monthly plan mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Review the change shown in the dashboard before confirming. To compare all prices side by side, see the plan details before choosing a billing option in the dashboard.

Choose This Plan

Get your subscription from the dashboard

Once your plan is active, return to the account overview and find the subscription details or client import section. Your subscription URL lets a client retrieve the server configuration for your account; it is not a regular webpage address or an installer. Pasting it into a browser usually won’t import it. Instead, give it to a client that supports the subscription format.

If the dashboard offers an import button for your client, install and open the client first, then return to the dashboard and click that option. Your browser may ask whether to open an external app. Check that the app name is correct before allowing it, then save the configuration in the client. If nothing happens, check that the client is installed and that the browser hasn’t blocked the app launch. Avoid clicking repeatedly, which could create duplicate configurations.

For manual setup, copy the subscription URL from the dashboard, then choose “Import from URL” or a similar option in the client’s configuration section. Check that the full URL was copied, with no extra spaces or line breaks at either end. If the client lets you name the configuration, choose a recognizable name so you can find and update it later instead of adding it again.

Keep your subscription URL private, like a credential. Don’t share it in public notes, group chats, or screenshots, and don’t paste it into unfamiliar diagnostic websites. When asking for help, provide the client name, operating system, and error message, but hide your URL and account details. If you think someone else may have accessed the URL, check whether the dashboard offers a reset option. After a reset, you’ll usually need to retrieve and update the configuration on your devices.

Open Account Overview

Import into a client by platform

Open the downloads section in the dashboard and choose the VPNWei client for your operating system. Use the import method listed in the dashboard whenever possible. Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux clients are available after signing in; you don’t need a purchased plan to get them. The iOS client link requires an active, unexpired purchased plan. Getting the client and getting a working server configuration are separate steps, so check that the subscription imported successfully after installation.

The steps below explain where to import on each platform. For manual setup, use a client that supports the subscription format provided in the dashboard; don’t enter the subscription URL in your operating system’s built-in VPN settings. A successful import should show a configuration name and server list. If you see only a blank page or a configuration name with no servers, try updating the configuration before connecting.

Get the Client

Windows: Add the Subscription in the Configuration Section

Get the Windows client from the dashboard, follow the installation instructions, and open it. If Windows asks you to confirm app permissions, check the app name and source before proceeding. Try the matching import option in the dashboard. For manual setup, find “Configuration,” “Subscription Manager,” or a similar section in the client, choose the option to add from a URL, paste the subscription URL, and save it.

After saving, update or refresh the configuration and wait for the server list to load. Then set this configuration as the active one. If you added a configuration but didn’t select it, the connection control may still use the previous one. Next, find the connect switch and any system proxy or traffic-routing options, and enable them as directed by the client. If prompted to install a network component, read the instructions first. Don’t run another proxy client at the same time, as the settings could conflict.

macOS: Import the Subscription and Check Network Permissions

Use the macOS client provided in the dashboard. After installing and opening it, go to configuration management from the menu bar icon or main window. Clients that support URL imports usually have an option to add a subscription or remote configuration. Paste the URL, confirm, and update the configuration. Check that the region and server names appear, then select the configuration you want to use.

The first time you connect, macOS may ask you to allow a network configuration or authorize a related component. Review the system prompt and confirm as needed. Closing the main window may not quit the client; check the menu bar for its connection status. Before switching clients, turn off the original app’s connection and traffic-routing features, then enable the new app to avoid leaving your browser pointed at an inactive local proxy.

Android: Import from the Subscription and Allow the Connection

Sign in and download the Android client from the dashboard, then follow the system prompts to install it. Open the app, return to the dashboard, and use the matching import option. If your browser can’t open the app, add the remote URL from the client’s subscription or configuration list. Paste the subscription URL, save it, and update the configuration until the server list appears.

Select a configuration and connect. Android will usually show a system prompt to approve the VPN connection. Check that it was requested by the client you’re using, then allow it and confirm the status in the app. Once connected, switch to your browser and visit the target site. If the connection drops when the app moves to the background, check the system’s background activity and battery settings for that app. Don’t run another app that uses the same traffic-routing mechanism at the same time. For help with conflicts, see the help center.

iOS: Open the Dashboard Link and Add a Configuration

First, make sure your account has an active, unexpired purchased plan. Then open the iOS client link in the dashboard’s downloads section and follow the instructions to get the client from the App Store. If the dashboard says your plan doesn’t meet the requirements, check its status in the account overview. Don’t use an unfamiliar link from search results instead of the dashboard link.

After installation, open the client and use the matching subscription import method shown in the dashboard. If the client supports manual URL imports, paste the subscription URL into the add option in its configuration list and update it. The first time you connect, iOS may ask to add a VPN configuration and confirm using your device’s authentication method. Then choose a server in the client, connect, and test access directly. Don’t rely only on the system status icon to determine whether the target service is available.

On Linux, get the appropriate client from the dashboard and follow its instructions for the configuration format and import process. For details on system differences, permission errors, and import failures, see Support and FAQs. Then continue here to verify your connection.

Connect to a Server and Verify It Works

Once the subscription has loaded, choose a server in the region required by your target service, then connect. VPNWei covers 110+ countries / 240+ servers, but access to a particular app also depends on the exit region, platform rules, and account requirements. The region in a server name can help you choose an exit location, but it can’t replace the target platform’s own checks. If the platform requires a specific region, check its service coverage first.

When the client shows that you’re connected, reopen the target site and check that the page and required features load. You can also visit our IP lookup tool to see the exit information for your browser’s current request. With rule-based routing, not every website follows the same route, so the result from one diagnostic site only describes that request—not all traffic from your device.

If regular websites load but the target service doesn’t, keep the current configuration and try another server in the target region. If no websites load, disconnect the client first and make sure your local network works, then check connection permissions, system proxy settings, and the active configuration. Change one thing at a time and note the result; it’s easier to identify the cause than when switching servers, modes, and configurations all at once.

If the server list is empty or the configuration update fails, return to the dashboard and check your plan status and data allowance. Then make sure the subscription URL is complete and hasn’t been reset. If the issue started after changing networks, reconnect on the new network and update the configuration. When submitting a support ticket, include your operating system, client, selected region, what happened, and the error message. Hide the subscription URL in screenshots, and never send your account password for troubleshooting.

Once your connection is verified, keep the working configuration and learn where to update the subscription and disconnect. There is no device limit; install the appropriate client and verify the connection separately on each device. VPNWei follows a no-logs policy.
