Find solutions by category, from subscription imports to troubleshooting. VPNVS covers 110+ countries / 220+ routes, supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, and allows unlimited devices online at the same time.
Accounts & Subscriptions
Learn about account requirements, subscription credential storage, client updates and device changes. Because the subscription link controls the routes associated with your account, protect it like any other account credential.
Do I need an email address to create a VPNVS account?
No. You can create an account with a username and password. Use a password that is unique to VPNVS and keep your username safe. After creating an account, open the user panel to view plans, orders, subscription access and client downloads.
Where can I get my subscription link, and how should I protect it?
After activating a plan, sign in to the user panel and copy the subscription link from the account overview or subscription section, then import it into your client. The subscription link acts as a connection credential. Do not post it publicly, forward it to untrusted people or store it on a shared device.
How do I update the subscription link in my client?
First, find the current subscription in your client and use its update, refresh or re-fetch configuration option. If the route list does not change, delete the old subscription record and import the current link copied from the user panel. Before doing so, confirm that the link is complete and that no characters were missed at either end.
Do I need to buy another plan after switching devices?
No separate purchase is needed when you change devices. VPNVS supports unlimited devices online at the same time, using the active subscription linked to one account on Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Sign in to the panel on the new device to get the client and subscription, then configure it. For a decommissioned device, delete the local subscription.
Connections & Troubleshooting
Connection issues are usually related to subscription status, system permissions, network changes or client split-tunneling settings. During troubleshooting, change only one condition at a time to identify whether the problem comes from the device, route or target service.
What should I check first when the client cannot connect?
Confirm that the plan is still active and the subscription has been updated, then check whether the device can access commonly used websites normally. Fully quit and reopen the client, and test another route. If you recently changed networks, close the old connection and establish a new one so the system does not retain an invalid network state.
Why is a particular app not using the proxy?
A common cause is split tunneling: the client classifies that app's requests as local direct traffic. Temporarily switch to a more comprehensive connection mode for comparison, then check the client rules, system VPN permissions and whether the app has its own network settings. Once the cause is clear, restore your usual split-tunneling configuration.
What should I do if the connection stops working after switching Wi-Fi or mobile networks?
Switching networks changes the device's current connection path, which may invalidate the existing session. Disconnect the client, wait for the system to finish joining the new network, then reconnect to the required route. If it remains stuck on Connecting, fully close and reopen the client, and confirm that VPN permission is still allowed in system settings.
What should I do when it says connected but websites still will not open?
Try another commonly used website to determine whether one site is affected or all access is failing. If no websites open, switch routes and reconnect, while temporarily closing other network tools that may conflict. If only a specific site is unavailable, clear its cache or test again through a different exit region.
Speed & Routes
Route performance varies with the local network, exit region and destination. Instead of staying on one route indefinitely, choose a region and route type for the task at hand, then compare again after the network environment changes.
What should I do about slow speeds during peak hours?
Update the subscription first so the client has the current route configuration, then switch between routes in the same region. If a route is marked IEPL, it may be preferable for tasks that require greater stability. Keep the network environment unchanged during testing, and pause large-file syncing, system updates and background downloads.
Should I choose a route by distance or by type?
For everyday browsing, start with a geographically nearby entry point to reduce unnecessary detours. For video, meetings or sustained transfers, focus on route type and actual stability rather than the region name alone. Try a nearby region first, then compare IEPL, relay and direct routes in that region and keep the option that performs reliably on your current network.
What is the difference between IEPL, relay and direct routes?
IEPL routes are generally better suited to situations where cross-border link stability matters. Relay routes optimize the path through an intermediate entry point, while direct routes take a more direct path but depend more heavily on the user's network. If the client labels routes by type, choose according to your current task rather than staying on one route permanently.
What should I do if streaming is slow or the available content is from the wrong region?
First confirm that the selected exit region matches the content's target region, then close and reopen the streaming app. If playback remains unstable, update the subscription and try another route in the same region while pausing background downloads. If regional content does not update promptly, clear the app cache or reconnect before opening the service again.
Billing & Refunds
Monthly plans suit continuous use, while data packages are better for irregular usage. Before activating or upgrading, compare the tier with your actual data needs and confirm the current plan and order status in the user panel.
What prices and data allowances are available for monthly plans?
Monthly plans are: ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. Choose based on your actual needs for browsing, video streaming and file transfers; the plans page lists all tiers together.
Do data packages expire, and what sizes are available?
Data packages remain available until used and never expire. Options are: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB. They suit users with irregular usage patterns who prefer to consume data as needed. See the plans page in the user panel for the activation entry point.
How is a mid-cycle upgrade to a monthly plan calculated?
When you upgrade a monthly plan mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated against the remaining days. Before upgrading, check the current plan status and available tiers in the user panel, then follow the on-page steps. Monthly data still resets on the activation date, so consider both the current cycle and remaining allowance when planning an upgrade.
Which payment methods are supported, and how do I request a refund?
Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT are supported, with a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy. To request a refund, sign in to the user panel, open the ticket page and submit the relevant order details and request. Keep the order status and payment record available; eligibility is governed by the refund policy page.
