Create an Account
Open the VPNTee account page and follow the prompts to choose a username and password. No email address is required. Pick login details that are easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. You’ll use your username to access the user dashboard; keep your password separate from those used on other sites. Don’t share your login details in public groups or article comments.
After submitting, check that you’ve reached the signed-in user dashboard. If your username is unavailable, follow the prompt to choose another one and try again. If the dashboard doesn’t open, read the error message before taking further action; don’t submit repeatedly. If you already have an account, sign in with it—there’s no need to create another account for a new device.
Once in the dashboard, find the account overview, plans, client downloads, and support ticket sections. Your account manages the service; the client connects your devices. They serve different purposes. Even if you don’t see available routes yet, continue by choosing a plan. Creating an account or installing a client alone doesn’t activate a subscription.
This link opens the account creation page. Plan prices and billing terms are listed on the plans page and confirmed at checkout.
Choose a Plan and Confirm Your Order
After signing in, open the plans section and decide whether a monthly plan or pay-as-you-go data package better fits your needs. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB; data resets monthly on the activation date. Data packages are ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They don’t expire and remain available until used. Don’t compare prices alone—consider whether the data allowance suits how often you’ll use the service.
If you access international websites every day, compare the monthly data allowances. If you only need the service occasionally, consider how data packages are billed. Always refer to the plan shown in your order. VPNTee has no limit on the number of devices connected at the same time, but each device still uses data; unlimited devices doesn’t mean unlimited data. There’s no need to plan a complex device setup for your first use—just get your current device connected.
When you’ve chosen a plan, go to order confirmation and check the plan name, amount, and billing method. Follow the prompts to pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. Once the payment page shows completion, return to your user dashboard and check the order status and service details in the account overview. If the payment hasn’t synced yet, keep your order details and check the on-screen message. Don’t pay again just because the subscription isn’t visible yet; wait for the status to be confirmed.
VPNTee offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. See the Terms of Service for the refund policy. If you upgrade a monthly plan partway through its billing period, the price difference is converted into remaining days; it isn’t simply a fixed fee added while keeping the original period unchanged. For a full comparison of all options, see the complete plan details. This guide assumes your selected service is now visible in the dashboard.
Get Your Subscription from the Dashboard
Once you’ve confirmed that your service is active, open the account overview in your user dashboard and find the section for getting a subscription or importing it into a client. The subscription link lets a client retrieve your account’s route configuration. It isn’t a regular website address or an app download link. After copying it, import it into your client rather than bookmarking it as a website you’ll visit.
If the dashboard offers one-click import for your client, use that option. Your browser may ask whether to open an app. Check that the app name matches the client you installed before allowing it to open. If you haven’t installed a client yet, get one in the next section, then return here. If nothing opens, that doesn’t necessarily mean the subscription is invalid; your system may not know which app should handle the link.
To import manually, use the copy option in your dashboard, then switch to the client’s subscription or configuration settings. Before pasting, check that you copied the entire link—not the plan name, page instructions, or user dashboard URL. Don’t edit the link parameters or submit it to an unfamiliar online conversion tool; this could prevent import or expose your account configuration to someone else.
Import a Client on Your Platform
Get clients from the downloads section of your user dashboard. Use the VPNTee client and instructions provided there for your system; you don’t need to pick another proxy tool from search results. After signing in, you can get the Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux clients. The dashboard determines whether you’re eligible for the iOS download and displays the relevant option. You must be signed in to get your subscription, and your account’s service status should be confirmed first.
The platform-specific sections below explain how to import. The general process is the same: get the client for your system, open its subscription or configuration settings, then use one-click import from the dashboard or paste the subscription link you copied. After importing, check that the client shows a configuration and a list of routes. If you only see a blank configuration name with no route details, you’re not ready to test the connection yet.
Windows: Desktop Client
In the downloads section, select the Windows option and follow the dashboard instructions to install or launch the client. When you first open it, look for an option such as subscriptions, configuration management, or add configuration. If one-click import is available, you can also start it from the account overview. If your system asks which app to use, choose the VPNTee client you installed. Don’t save the subscription as a regular text file instead of importing it.
For manual setup, choose an option such as “Add configuration via URL,” paste the complete subscription link into the address field, then save and refresh it. Check that the routes appear after the update, and select the new configuration as the one in use. If another network proxy tool is already running on your computer, close it first if it may be controlling the same network settings. This makes it easier to tell which app is handling your traffic.
macOS: Desktop Client
In the dashboard’s downloads section, choose the client version for your Mac and follow the installation instructions. If macOS asks you to confirm the app’s source or grant network-related permissions, first make sure you opened the app from the link provided in your user dashboard, then follow the system prompts. Don’t run terminal commands from an unknown source just to bypass a warning.
Open the client and go to its configuration or subscription settings. Use one-click import from the dashboard, or add a subscription via URL. Save it, refresh the configuration, check that the routes have loaded, and select the configuration you want to use. Closing the window may not quit the client; when testing your connection later, check its status in the menu bar. If you can’t find the import option, check the dashboard’s instructions for that client rather than repeatedly reinstalling it.
Android: Mobile Client
Sign in to the user dashboard on your Android device, open the downloads section, and get the client for your system. Follow the on-screen instructions to install it. If prompted to confirm the source, check that the file came from the download option in your dashboard. Open the client, find an option such as add configuration, subscription management, or import from URL, then paste and save your subscription link. Refresh the configuration so the client can load the routes.
You can also copy the subscription first and use the client’s built-in clipboard import option. If it doesn’t recognize the link, paste it manually; there’s no need to create another account. The first time you connect, Android may ask to set up a VPN connection. Check the app name and allow the request. If the connection later drops when the app is in the background, see the help center’s background operation troubleshooting. For now, complete your first test with the app open.
iOS: Download from the Dashboard
Sign in to the user dashboard in a browser on your iPhone or iPad, then open the client downloads section. The dashboard displays the iOS download option based on your account’s eligibility; follow the instructions shown on the page. If it says you need an active plan, return to the account overview and check your service status. This guide doesn’t provide a separate download link or determine eligibility outside the dashboard.
After installation, return to the dashboard and use the relevant import option, or find the subscription, configuration, or import-from-URL settings in the client. Paste the link and refresh the configuration. The first time you connect, iOS may ask to add a VPN configuration; check the app and follow the system prompts. The VPN status shown in iOS only confirms the system-level connection. Use the next section to test specific websites and apps.
Linux is also supported. Get the client and instructions from the dashboard’s downloads section. To learn about configuration formats, route types, or which mode suits different needs, read the guide to choosing a cross-border network service. You don’t need to know these technical details to import your subscription for the first time.
Connect and Verify It Works
Once you’ve imported and refreshed the configuration, choose an available route shown in the client and connect, or enable the system proxy mode recommended by the client. For your first test, keep the client’s default settings—don’t change routing rules, DNS, and network mode all at once. If your system asks for network permission, check the app’s source and grant permission, then wait for the client to show a connection status.
Next, open the websites or apps you want to use. Check that pages load, you can complete the sign-in process, and the features you need work. A successful browser test doesn’t mean every app uses the same proxy settings. If a particular app still won’t connect, test it separately rather than assuming the entire route is unavailable. If needed, follow the client’s instructions to close and reopen the app, then test again.
You can also use a trusted exit IP lookup service to compare your exit details before and after connecting. With rule-based routing, local websites may continue to connect directly; consider access to the international websites you want to use as well. A changed IP doesn’t automatically change your account eligibility, regional content library, or the platform’s terms. Availability may still depend on your account region, payment details, or the platform’s own policies.
If the client shows a connection but a website you need still won’t open, return to the configuration settings and check that the subscription updated successfully and the right configuration is selected. Confirm that your account service is active, then check that system proxy settings or VPN permissions are enabled. Try another currently available route if needed. Change one thing at a time and note the result; it’s usually easier to find the cause than by changing several settings at once.
If the issue persists, visit the Help Center and follow the troubleshooting steps for connections, speed, or accounts. When submitting a support ticket, include your device system, client, the step where the problem occurred, the app you’re trying to use, and the error message. Hide your subscription link and sensitive account details in screenshots. For more detailed exit IP, DNS, and per-app testing steps, see How to Check If Your VPN Is Working.
