Getting started · five steps

Five steps to get your subscription running

From signup to your first connected route, the whole path runs through just two interfaces: the user panel and the client. Each step says where to click, what you should see and what comes next; the longer details live in the help center and the streaming guide, and this page keeps only the shortest path.

Client interfaces differ in wording and menu placement: some put the subscription entry on a Subscription / Configuration page, some tuck it into settings, and some ask on first launch. The menu names below are only a reference — if you can't find a matching button, look for words like Subscription, Configuration or Servers; the logic is the same.

Step 1 · Create an account

Username and password, no email address

Open the user panel from the Log in link at the top right of the page, then switch to the signup view below the login form. Signing up asks for just two things: a username and a password — no email address required, so there's no waiting on a verification mail or chasing an expired link. The username is what you log in with, so pick one you'll remember and that isn't already taken on accounts you use elsewhere; set the password yourself and keep it separate rather than reusing one from another site.

Once you submit, you land straight in the panel's account overview, which means the account is live. The data allowance and expiry date shown there are empty at this point, and that's expected — the account and the plan are two separate things, and choosing a plan is the next step. If signup says the username is taken, just try another one; nothing else needs re-entering.

Step 2 · Choose a plan and order

Monthly plans from ¥9.9 with 60GB; data packs last until used up

With the account live, open the plan section in the panel, or compare all three monthly tiers side by side on the pricing page first: ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB and ¥28/month with 500GB. The only difference between tiers is the data allowance — routes and features are identical, and unlimited devices applies to every tier. The allowance resets monthly from your activation date rather than on the first of the calendar month; if you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated by the remaining days, so there's no need to wait for the current period to end.

If your usage comes in a few concentrated bursts a year, a data pack suits better: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB, valid until used up with no expiry, so there's no end-of-month reset pressure. If instead you burn through tens of GB every month, the monthly plans cost less per GB and save you from estimating usage. The two can coexist — running a monthly plan for a while and then adding a data pack as backup is a common combination.

Once you've picked a tier, confirm the order; the checkout page lists Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT — choose one and pay. After payment, go back to the account overview and the plan status, remaining data and expiry date will show up. If checkout still shows a waiting state, refresh the overview once rather than placing a second order. And if the plan turns out not to fit, the 14-day refund promise applies here too; the request path is in the terms of service linked in the footer.

Step 3 · Get your subscription link

One address pulls in every route — keep it private before importing

The subscription link is an address with a token in it; the client uses it to pull all routes and settings in one go. Its value is in maintenance: when routes are added or removed, one update in the client syncs everything, with no servers to add by hand. You'll find it in the panel's account overview — once you're at the subscription entry, use Copy rather than selecting the text manually. The link is long, and dropping the last few characters is the most common cause of a failed import.

The format looks like this; the link shown in the panel is the one that counts:

https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN

This address works like an account credential: anyone who has it can read your route configuration. So it should only ever appear on your own devices and in your client — don't paste it into public groups or forums, and don't post a screenshot of the whole thing. To use a second or third device, import the same link on each; the account itself allows unlimited devices, so there's no need to buy a separate plan per device.

If routes change after you import, hit Update subscription in the client once to pull the latest list — no need to copy the link again. You only need to paste a new link if you deliberately change the subscription address in the panel.

Step 4 · Import a client

One path each for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS

Clients all come from the download area in the panel. This site doesn't publish static installer links: log in, open the download area and pick the build for your current system. iOS installs from the App Store, with the entry in the download area, and needs an active plan on the account; Windows, macOS, Android and Linux can be downloaded as soon as you're logged in. After installing, don't hit connect yet — import the subscription link from the previous step first, or the client will have no routes to choose from.

Windows

Get the Windows client from the download area, install it as prompted and launch it. The route list is empty on first launch: find the Subscription or Configuration page, paste the link into the address field, click Import or Update subscription, and the list fills in within seconds. To sync new routes later, return to the same page and update once — no reinstall needed.

If the list is still empty after importing, first check whether a chat app truncated the link, then confirm this machine can reach the network normally — a corporate network or public Wi-Fi sign-in portal will block the subscription request, so complete the portal login and update once more.

macOS

The macOS client also comes from the download area and lives in the menu bar after installation. Open the menu bar icon, go to the Subscription / Configuration group, paste the link and confirm the update; once the route list appears, pick a route from the menu and connect — macOS will ask for permission to add a network configuration, so allow it.

On some machines the new network configuration doesn't appear after installation, usually because the permission prompt on first connect was declined. Click connect again and allow it in the dialog; no uninstall or reinstall needed.

Android

Get the Android package from the download area and install it, allowing installation when the system asks. Open the client, paste the link on the Subscription page and update, then go back to the home screen, pick a route and connect — Android will ask to create a network connection, so allow it. Android's battery optimisation is more aggressive than on desktop, so add the client to the battery optimisation allowlist; otherwise a long-running background session is likely to be killed by the system.

If a particular app still uses the local network after connecting, check whether per-app proxy is enabled in the client and that the app in question is in the proxy list. The full per-app proxy setup is covered in the help center and not repeated here.

iOS

The iOS client installs from the App Store, with the entry in the download area, and needs an active plan on the account. Open the client after installation, paste the subscription link where you add a subscription and save — the route list appears right away.

On first connect, iOS asks whether to add a VPN configuration — you must allow it, or the connect button will sit waiting indefinitely. iOS allows only one active VPN configuration at a time, so if you've installed another tool of this kind before, disable the old configuration in system settings before connecting.

Step 5 · Connect and verify it works

The status block reads Connected and the exit region changes with it

Every row in the route list is labelled with its type: IEPL dedicated, relay or direct. Common exits include Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, the United States, Switzerland and France; for a first connection, pick a common exit such as Hong Kong · Relay — after you click connect, the status block moves from Pending to Connected and the client's title bar shows the current route. Once connected, open a browser and load a common international site; if it loads, the exit is working.

To confirm traffic really goes through the route, check the exit region your browser reports before and after connecting: after connecting it should show the route's location, not your local one. If it still shows your local region, the client probably isn't handling all traffic — go back to settings and check the proxy mode, or try another route.

If you can't connect, work through this order: switch to another route, update the subscription once in the client, confirm the system clock is accurate, and try a different network. Those four steps clear most cases. If it still won't connect, note down the exact message the client shows, look it up against the error explanations in the help center, or open a ticket in the panel with your OS version and the route name you selected — that makes it much faster to resolve.
