From sign-up to your first connection

Step 1 · Create an account

Open the sign-up page in the user dashboard — the “Start Free” button in the hero and the buttons under each step on this page all lead to the same place. The form has just three fields: username, password and confirm password. No email address is required, and there's no verification email to wait for; the account is active the moment you submit, and you're logged in straight away.

For the username, pick something you'll remember that doesn't contain your real name; use a password of the length the form asks for, and don't reuse the one from your main email account. Once you're registered, the dashboard shows “Overview”, “Plans”, “Downloads” and “Tickets” in the left sidebar (at the top on narrow screens). The next four steps move between these entries, so noting where they are saves time.

If you log out along the way, just reopen the dashboard and sign in with the same username and password — there's no email recovery step. Save both in a password manager; you'll need them when you switch devices, copy the subscription and open tickets.

Step 2 · Choose a plan

Once you're signed in, open the “Plans” page. There are three monthly tiers: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date, not on the 1st of the calendar month; if you upgrade mid-cycle, the difference is prorated by the days remaining. For a first run, start with the ¥9.9 tier, check route quality and how the client feels, and upgrade later if you need more.

If your usage varies a lot, look at the data packs: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB. They're used up rather than expiring, never time out, and stack on top of a monthly subscription, so nothing is wasted at the end of the month. Payment supports Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT: choose your plan and payment method on the order page, then scan the code or copy the address as prompted. The plan goes live as soon as the order shows as paid.

There's no limit on simultaneous devices — one subscription covers your phone, computer and tablet, so you don't buy a separate plan for each. Your first payment is covered by a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund, so if you're unsure about long-term use, buying the lowest tier for a week is the easiest way to find out.

Step 3 · Get your subscription link

After payment, go back to the “Overview” page and find the subscription section. It holds your subscription link, next to the remaining data and expiry date for the current plan. Hit copy and the link is on your clipboard. It looks roughly like the example below — that's just a sample; the link shown in your dashboard is the real one:

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

This link works like account credentials: anyone who has it can import routes and use up your data. Don't post it in group chats, don't paste it into public documents, and don't let the token part show in screenshots. When you change devices, paste the same link into the client on the new device — no new purchase needed, and no device limit.

When routes are added or removed, click “Update subscription” once in the client and it re-pulls the list; there's no need to import again. If the dashboard says the subscription has expired, renew first, then update once in the client and the route list comes back.

Step 4 · Import in your client

The “Downloads” page in the dashboard offers a client for each platform, available as soon as you sign in — no plan purchase needed first. Once the client is installed you don't type in server addresses by hand: paste the subscription link you copied in the previous step into the “Subscription” or “Configuration” entry, save it and select it, and the route list builds itself — 90+ countries and 190+ routes, grouped by region, with each route labelled IEPL dedicated, relay or direct.

The table above shows where these entries live on each platform; exact button names depend on the client version you have. The details for each platform follow below.

Windows desktop

Sign in to the dashboard, open “Downloads” and get the Windows client, then install and launch it. The main window is the route list, with a “Subscription” entry at the top or in the sidebar: paste the link in, save, and the client pulls the routes immediately. Back in the list you'll see regions such as Japan, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland and France. Versions that support clipboard import are one step quicker: copy the link, then hit “Import from clipboard” in the subscription entry — fewer chances to paste the wrong thing.

macOS desktop

The flow matches Windows: get the macOS client from the Downloads page, open it and paste the link into “Subscription”, then save. If the system blocks the first launch, allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security and go back to the client. Once imported you get the same region-grouped route list; pick any route and move on to the next step.

Android

Sign in to the dashboard in your phone browser, open “Downloads”, get the Android client and install it; the system may ask you to allow installs from that source, so confirm the prompt. Open the client, paste the link into “Subscription” or “Configuration”, save and select that profile. Mobile connections are easily cut off by battery-saving policies, so add the client to the battery optimisation allowlist in system settings — background connections are far more stable that way.

iOS

Get the iOS client from the dashboard Downloads page too, install it, then open “Configuration” and add a subscription with the pasted link. On the first connection iOS asks for permission to add a VPN configuration — tap Allow and it won't ask again. On iOS you switch routes inside the client, with no need to go back to system settings.

Linux

On Linux, people usually use the command line or an existing client — import the subscription link into a Clash-compatible or sing-box client. The Complete Guide has full examples of config files and routing rules. One reminder here: the subscription link carries a token, so once it's in a config file, don't commit that file to a public repository.

Step 5 · Connect and verify

Back in the client's main window, routes are grouped by region. Picking one is simple: for streaming from a given region, choose a route in that region; for AI tools, prefer the United States or Japan; for everyday browsing, take whichever route shows the lowest latency. Flip the connection switch and the status changes from “Disconnected” to “Connected”, with the current route name and encryption status shown in the window — every route uses bank-grade encryption.

There are two ways to check it's working: open an international site that normally won't load for you — if it opens, you're through; or check the exit region on any IP location lookup site — if the region matches the route you picked, your traffic really is going through it. Doing both is the safest, especially the first time.

If it won't connect, work through three checks in order: first switch to another route in the same region and try again, to rule out a single bad route; then go back to “Overview” in the dashboard and check whether the subscription has expired or the data is used up; finally click “Update subscription” once in the client to make sure you have the latest route list. If all three fail, open a ticket with the client name, OS version and the exact error text — that makes it much faster to resolve.

Next · Routine maintenance

Subscription data resets monthly on your activation date, not on the 1st. The overview page shows remaining data and expiry date; renewing a few days early is easier than sorting things out after a disconnect. There's no limit on simultaneous devices, so phone, computer and tablet can all stay connected without switching accounts.

If it doesn't suit you, there's a 7-day no-questions-asked refund: say in a ticket that you want a refund and follow the reply. The deeper material — protocol differences, routing rules, picking routes for streaming, troubleshooting — all lives in the Complete Guide; this page keeps to the main path and doesn't repeat it.
