VPNYT Setup Guide

Create an account and save your login details

Open the user dashboard below and enter a username and password on the account creation page. VPNYT requires no email address; a username and password are all you need to create an account. Choose a username you can recognize, and use a password manager to generate and save a unique password. Before submitting, check your entries, especially your keyboard input mode, letter case and any unintended spaces.

Once the account overview appears, make sure it shows the account you just created. If you’re already signed in to another account in your browser, verify which account is active before choosing a plan. Don’t save your login on a public device. Keep your credentials secure on your own devices, too, and never put your password in public notes or chat groups.

Your account is ready, but you don’t have an active subscription yet. Next, choose a plan and wait for the dashboard to show its status before getting the subscription configuration. If you just want to find the client download, you can check the dashboard’s download section first—but installing the software doesn’t mean you’re connected.

Start Free

Choose a Plan and Check the Data and Billing Terms

Open the plans section of the user dashboard and compare monthly subscriptions with data packages. Monthly subscriptions are suited to regular use: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date, not at the start of each calendar month. Compare both price and data allowance—not just the price shown on the card.

Data packages are consumed as you use them and never expire: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB. If your usage varies, consider whether this billing model suits your needs. “Unlimited devices” means there’s no limit on the number of devices connected at the same time; it doesn’t mean unlimited data. All devices on the same account share the data allowance of your chosen plan.

After choosing a plan, go to the order confirmation page. Check the plan name, amount and billing terms, then follow the dashboard prompts to pay. Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT are supported; refer to the checkout page for payment instructions. If your status hasn’t updated after payment, check your order history first—don’t create duplicate orders. For help, describe the order through the dashboard’s support ticket system. You don’t need to share your account password.

Before moving on, confirm the account overview shows the correct plan and data allowance. If you upgrade partway through a plan, the price difference is converted into remaining days; don’t calculate it by simply subtracting full monthly prices. VPNYT offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for details, or compare all options on the plans and pricing page.

Choose This Plan

Get Your Subscription and Add It to a Client

Return to the account overview and check that your plan is active, then find the subscription or import option. A subscription link lets a client retrieve route configurations; it isn’t a regular URL for browsing articles. The client reads the link to create a list of routes you can choose from. Copying the link is only the first step—you’ll still need to import and update it.

If the dashboard offers an import button for your client, use it if possible. Your browser may ask permission to open an app on your device. Check the app name before allowing the handoff, then confirm the configuration in the client. If the app doesn’t open, make sure it’s installed and has been launched before, then try copying and importing the link manually. Avoid repeated clicks that could add duplicate configurations.

To import manually, copy the complete subscription link and paste it directly into your client. Don’t copy just part of it or add quotation marks or other text. Treat the link like an account credential: don’t share it in public groups, online conversion sites or unfamiliar diagnostic tools. If you send a screenshot to support, hide the subscription link and any sensitive account details.

If the client says the link is invalid, copy it again from the dashboard and check that the pasted link is complete. Don’t use the URL for the login page as your subscription link. Import is successful when the client can update its configuration and show a route list—not just when the link is on your clipboard. Once that’s done, follow the section for your device below.

Open Account Overview

Install and Import by Operating System

Get clients directly from the user dashboard. After signing in, you can get clients for Windows, macOS, Android and Linux; iOS availability depends on your plan status in the dashboard. Don’t pick an installer just because it has a familiar name in search results, and don’t use configuration files intended for another operating system. The sections below cover common steps; exact labels may vary by version.

This guide uses the VPNYT client provided in the dashboard as the recommended setup path, and also covers common import options in subscription-compatible clients. Import only if the client explicitly supports the configuration format provided by the dashboard. If you’re unsure, use the matching option listed there—don’t try changing the link suffix or converting the format at random.

Get the Client

Windows: Add a Subscription or Configuration

In the dashboard’s downloads section, select the VPNYT client for Windows, install it and launch it. When you open it for the first time, find the “Subscription” or “Configuration” page, then choose an option such as Add or Import from link. Paste the subscription link you copied into the address field. If a configuration name is required, enter a label you’ll recognize, then save and update it.

When the update finishes, check that the route list appears. If there are multiple configurations, select the one you just added, then open the route selection page. Some clients have separate controls for proxy mode and connection; enable the network routing option indicated by the client. Don’t run multiple proxy clients that control network traffic at the same time, or you may not know which configuration is handling your connection.

macOS: Check Network Permissions After Import

Get the VPNYT client for macOS from the dashboard and follow the installation prompts. In the app, open subscription or configuration management, choose the option to add by link, paste the subscription and update it. If you use the dashboard’s app import option, confirm and save the configuration in the client after it opens. Once the route list appears, select the configuration you need. Don’t use an empty configuration that shows a name but no routes.

When you connect, macOS may ask you to allow a network configuration or grant permissions. Check that the app in the prompt is the client you just installed, then approve what’s needed. If the expected prompt doesn’t appear, don’t disable system protections; check the status message in the client first. After installation, import and permissions are complete, move on to the final connection test in this guide.

Android: Add a Remote Subscription

Sign in to the dashboard and get the VPNYT client for Android. Install and open the app, then look in configuration management for “New configuration,” “Import from link” or a similarly named remote subscription option. Paste the complete link and save it. Update the configuration manually and wait for the route list to load, then set it as the active configuration.

When you tap Connect, Android may show a VPN connection request. Confirm it was initiated by the client you’re using and allow it, then check the connection status in the app. If it disconnects immediately, keep the app in the foreground while testing and see whether background settings are involved; don’t change a batch of system settings right away. After switching networks, test access again instead of relying only on the status bar icon.

iOS: Get the Client and Add a Configuration from the Dashboard

First, check the iOS client option in the user dashboard. Availability depends on whether your plan is active. If the page says an active plan is required, return to the account overview to check your status instead of looking for a public installer link. Get the client as directed in the dashboard, open it and use the relevant import option, or look for subscription, configuration or add-from-link features in the app.

After importing and updating the configuration, select a route and connect. If iOS asks to add a VPN configuration, check the app name and confirm as prompted. If the system asks for local device authentication, complete it there. Then return to the client and check the connection status. If another VPN configuration is active on your device, disconnect it before testing this one to avoid confusion from switching between connections.

Linux users can also get the appropriate client from the dashboard and import the subscription through its subscription or configuration settings. To learn more about how configurations and route selection work, read our Streaming guide. You don’t need to set up complex rules to get started.

Connect to a Route and Verify It Works

Choose a route in a region suited to what you want to access, then connect. For general international sites, start with a route that’s easy to test. For content restricted to a particular region, check the platform’s account requirements and regional terms before choosing the corresponding exit region. VPNYT covers 100+ countries / 180+ routes; available options depend on the dashboard and your updated subscription. See the route list for more on choosing a route.

After connecting, open a site you use regularly to make sure your local network is still working, then visit the international site you want to access. Load the actual page or play some content instead of just refreshing the client. A connected status only shows that the connection process has started or completed; it doesn’t confirm that the target app works. Browser cache, app sessions and account region can also affect what you see.

If you still can’t access the site, first check that your plan is active and has data available. Then update the subscription and make sure you’ve selected the right configuration. Disconnect and reconnect to the route you want to test, changing one thing at a time and checking the result. This helps narrow down whether the issue is with your local network, configuration or a particular route—and avoids losing track while switching between settings.

If the site loads but a streaming service says your region doesn’t match, there’s no need to reinstall the client right away. Check your current exit region, account status and the content’s licensing area, then test another available route in the same region. A working network connection and a platform’s decision to allow playback are separate things; one successful test doesn’t guarantee continued availability. For more on regional restrictions and playback troubleshooting, see our Streaming guide.

Once you’ve verified the connection, keep a note of the configuration name and when it’s useful. If the route list changes later, update the subscription in your client first. When switching devices, get the client and subscription from the dashboard again. If you still can’t identify the issue, use a support ticket in the dashboard to share your operating system, client, selected region and any error messages. Include screenshots with sensitive details hidden to help us investigate.
