VPN Quick Start

Create an Account and Open the Dashboard

Use the “Start Free” option below to open the VPNWalk user dashboard. Follow the prompts to choose a username and password—no email address required. You’ll use your username to sign in, so choose one that’s easy to recognize but doesn’t reveal sensitive personal information. Use a unique password and store it securely in a trusted password manager.

After submitting your details, follow the prompts to access your account. If you already have an account, use the dashboard’s sign-in option instead of creating another one. If your username is unavailable or an input validation message appears, read the guidance next to the field, make the necessary changes, and submit again. Clicking repeatedly won’t speed things up and can make it unclear whether an action succeeded.

Once you’re in the dashboard, find Account Overview, Plans, and Client Downloads. You can handle payment, retrieve your subscription, and get a client here without searching across different websites. Creating an account does not automatically activate a plan. Check the plan status in the dashboard to see whether your subscription is ready to use.

The buttons on this page open the user dashboard. You can return to this guide in your browser whenever you’re ready. First, decide how you’ll use your data, then choose a plan. If you just want to prepare your device, you can get the client by signing in on any platform except iOS. Before connecting, check that your account has an active subscription.

Choose a Plan and Review Your Order

Open the Plans section in the user dashboard and decide whether you need a monthly data allowance or data that you use over time. A monthly plan suits regular use: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date, not on the first day of the calendar month. Check the dashboard for the exact reset time.

If your usage is less frequent, consider a data package: ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, or ¥658 for 3000GB. Package data lasts until used and never expires. Compare both the billing terms and data allowance—not just the price. Monthly data allowances and package data are measured differently.

On the order confirmation page, check the plan name, amount, and billing terms. Follow the prompts to pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. When payment is complete, return to the dashboard and check the order result and plan status. If payment went through but your account hasn’t updated yet, review the order details and refresh the status. Don’t pay again just because the result hasn’t appeared yet.

VPNWalk allows unlimited devices to be connected at the same time, but data is still limited by your plan. Manage usage across computers, tablets, and other devices accordingly. If you upgrade a monthly plan partway through its term, the price difference is converted into remaining days; check the dashboard for details. VPNWalk offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund. See the Refund Policy for instructions and terms. Once your plan is active, continue to the next step to get your subscription.

Get Your Subscription and Prepare to Import

Return to Account Overview in the user dashboard and find the subscription section. First, confirm that your plan is active, then review the available import options. A subscription gives your client access to the server configurations available to your account. It isn’t a regular webpage to read in your browser or an installation file for the client.

If the dashboard offers a one-click import option for your client, use it after installing the client. Your browser may ask whether to open another app. Make sure it’s the client you intend to use before continuing. If the app doesn’t open, check that the client is installed, then copy the subscription link and import it manually instead of repeatedly clicking the same option.

To import manually, use the copy option in the dashboard, then choose the subscription or remote configuration import option in your client. After pasting the link, check for leading or trailing spaces, line breaks, or a page title copied by mistake. Save the complete link as a single address; don’t remove any parameters. The example https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN is only there to show what a URL looks like. It won’t connect, and you shouldn’t use it in place of the link from your dashboard.

Your subscription link is an account credential. Don’t post it in public forums, online conversion tools, or screenshots. When asking for help, share the error message, operating system, and client name, but hide your link and account details. After importing, give the configuration a recognizable name, such as “VPNWalk,” to make it easier to select and update later. Once you’re ready, go to the section for your device below.

Import on Your Platform

VPNWalk clients support Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. The steps below cover common platforms. Get your client and subscription through the user dashboard, and avoid installation files from unknown sources. If the dashboard offers multiple import targets, choose the one that matches your installed client—don’t rely on similar-looking icons alone.

Windows: Add a Subscription in the Configuration Section

Sign in to the user dashboard, select Windows under Client Downloads, then download and install the VPNWalk client as instructed. When you open it for the first time, find the page for managing configurations or subscriptions. If the dashboard supports one-click import, start the process there and allow your browser to open the client. Otherwise, look for an option such as “Import from URL” or “Add Subscription,” paste the link you copied, and save it.

Wait for the configuration to update, then check that servers appear in the list and set this configuration as active. Seeing a configuration name doesn’t mean its contents have downloaded successfully. If the server list is empty, check the import error message and your plan status. Connecting may require system network permissions; follow the client’s instructions. Avoid running other proxy tools that also control your system connection, as they may conflict.

macOS: Check the Configuration and System Permissions

Choose the macOS client in the user dashboard and install it. Then open the configuration or subscription management section in the app. Import using the matching option in the dashboard, or add the subscription using its remote configuration URL. Save and update it, then confirm that servers appear in the list before selecting the configuration. If your browser doesn’t open the app, switch back to the client and paste the link manually.

The first time you connect, macOS may ask you to approve a network configuration or related permissions. Check which app the prompt refers to and follow the system instructions. If macOS directs you to System Settings, complete the requested steps there, then return to the client. The menu bar status and configuration list serve different purposes: importing selects which configuration to use, while the connection switch enables network routing. Make sure to confirm both separately.

Android: Allow the VPN Configuration

Sign in to the dashboard, select Android, and install the VPNWalk client as instructed in the download section. If Android asks you to authorize app installations from the current source, make sure the file came from the VPNWalk user dashboard, then follow the system prompts. Open the client and paste the link under Subscriptions, Configurations, or Add. If you use one-click import, check that the configuration was saved and the server list loaded after the app opens.

Select a configuration and server, then start the connection. Android will typically ask you to approve the VPN connection; allow it, then check the client status. If you return to the app later and find the connection has dropped, review Android’s background activity and battery settings for the app and adjust them if needed. Verify the connection while the app is open first, then troubleshoot background behavior to avoid confusing an import failure with the system pausing the app.

iOS: Find the Available Download Option in the Dashboard

The iOS client download option requires an active plan; check the user dashboard for availability. Confirm your plan is active before following the instructions in the download section. If the dashboard says you’re not eligible to download the client, check your account status in Account Overview rather than looking for installation files elsewhere. Once installed, return to the dashboard and choose the import method that matches the client.

If your browser asks whether to open the link in the client, confirm and check the new subscription or configuration in the app. To import manually, add the remote URL in the app’s subscription management section, then save and update it. When you select a server and connect, iOS may ask permission to add a VPN configuration; approve it as prompted. After iOS shows the connection indicator, also check your exit IP and access to the services you need. The indicator alone doesn’t confirm that every app is using the connection.

Connect to a Server and Verify It Works

After importing, select the VPNWalk configuration, choose a region from the servers currently listed in your client, and connect. Available servers are shown in the dashboard and client; don’t rely on screenshots in this guide to find a specific name. Choose a region that meets the requirements of the service you want to use, and keep the same exit location while using it. A successful connection doesn’t guarantee that a website will accept that region or your account.

First, check that the client shows a connected status and that there are no messages about denied permissions, failed configuration downloads, or authentication. If the client asks you to enable a system proxy or another network routing option, follow its instructions before testing. Importing the subscription, selecting a configuration, and starting the connection are separate steps. Missing any one of them can leave you with servers in the list but no change when you open a webpage.

Next, open the IP Check on this site to see the exit IP used by your browser, and compare it with the result from before connecting. If the check fails, it only means that this attempt didn’t complete; it doesn’t necessarily mean the server is down. Refresh the page and check whether the services you need work. If the result hasn’t changed, confirm that your browser is covered by the client’s network routing and that no other tool is overriding your settings.

Finally, open the website or app you actually want to use and try it normally. Once the page loads, check specific features such as sign-in and content loading. AI tools, streaming services, and workplace apps may have their own region and account requirements; a network connection doesn’t override them. Avoid switching regions frequently, especially while signing in or during a long-running task. If you need to change servers, finish what you’re doing first, then verify the connection again.

If you still can’t access the service, check these items in order: plan status → subscription update → selected configuration → connection permissions → access to the service. Change one thing at a time and keep any error messages so you can pinpoint the cause. For help, describe your operating system, client, selected region, and what happens in the dashboard’s support ticket section. Don’t include your password or full subscription link.

Once you’ve verified the connection, everyday use usually takes just three steps: open the client, select your configuration, and connect. To set up another device, sign in to the same dashboard and get the client and subscription for that platform. VPNWalk allows unlimited devices to be connected at the same time. For further checks involving AI websites, IDE extensions, or API calls, see the AI Access Guide. There’s no need to adjust every advanced setting when you first connect.
