01Create an account

Create the account first, then pick servers

Open the sign-up page — there are only two fields: username and password. VPNWu does not ask for an email address, so there is no verification email; submitting takes you straight to the account overview in the dashboard. The username is only used to log in, so pick something unrelated to your real identity. Make the password long, mix upper and lower case, digits and symbols, and store it somewhere separate.

If you already have an account, use the login link in the top right of the page instead of registering again. Orders and subscriptions are tied to an account, so two accounts mean two sets of records and a messier time with billing and support tickets.

Before ordering, spend a minute on the dashboard's left-hand menu: Account Overview, Plans, Download Client, Orders, Tickets, Settings. The next few steps move between these sections, so knowing where they are makes everything smoother.

Start Free Once your account is created you land straight in the account overview — no extra verification step.

02Choose a plan

Pick a monthly plan by usage, or buy a data pack

After logging in, open Plans. The three monthly tiers differ only in data: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date, not on the calendar month; if you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated over the remaining days, so you do not have to wait for the next period. If you only look things up and check email now and then, 60GB is usually enough; if you watch video daily, run AI tools or share with several people, start at 250GB.

If your usage varies or you do not want a monthly renewal, look at data packs: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, ¥658/3000GB. They last until used up and never expire — handy for business trips, short projects, or as a backup to your main plan.

Checkout supports Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. A new order appears under Orders with the status Pending; it only becomes Paid — and the billing period starts — once payment clears. If you have paid and the status has not changed, refresh the Orders page once; if it is still pending, open a ticket with your payment receipt instead of ordering again.

Every tier includes the same service: 110+ countries / 190+ routes, unlimited simultaneous devices, and a 60-day money-back guarantee.

View Plans Tiers and prices are as shown in the dashboard.

03Copy the subscription link

The subscription link is what feeds your client

Once payment clears, go back to Account Overview, where the subscription address is displayed. It is usually a long string starting with https and ending in a token parameter, and it may run past one line — when copying, make sure the tail is not cut off.

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

The line above is a format example only, not a working subscription address; the real link appears only in the dashboard after you log in.

This link works as your account's credential inside the client: anyone who has it can use up your data, so do not post it in group chats, forums or screenshots. If you suspect it has leaked, reset the subscription address in the dashboard — the old link stops working immediately — then paste the new one into your client.

The dashboard also offers one-click import, which opens an installed client and fills in the subscription. On desktop, copying and pasting the link manually is still the more reliable route: one-click import relies on a protocol handoff between browser and client, and some browsers block it, so nothing happens when you click.

04Import into your client

Install the client, then paste the link

Get the client from Download Client in the dashboard: downloads are available as soon as you log in, no plan required. VPNWu provides the installers — do not take them from third-party sites or file-sharing drives, since a mismatched version behaves differently when importing a subscription. Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are supported.

Windows macOS iOS Android Linux

Open the client and find the section labelled Subscriptions, Profiles or Servers (the name varies by client). Paste the link you copied in the previous step, save, then click Update once manually. A successful update shows servers grouped by region, with the same number of entries as the dashboard lists.

The exact entry points for the four platforms are below. Buttons may move after an interface update; the only test that matters is whether the place you pasted the link can Update into a server list.

Windows

Download the Windows client and double-click the installer. On first launch Windows shows a firewall prompt — tick both private and public networks and allow access, otherwise the client may say Connected while your browser cannot open any page.

The import entry is on the client's Subscriptions page: click Add Subscription, paste the link into the address field, give it any name (for example Main), save, then click Update. When the update finishes, the servers are listed; right-clicking the tray icon lets you switch servers and see the current exit quickly.

If updates keep failing, first check that the link is complete, then check that your system clock is accurate — a large time offset makes the server reject subscription requests, and this is the easiest cause to overlook.

macOS

On macOS the first launch is blocked by the system; go to System Settings → Privacy and Security and click Open Anyway, after which it starts normally. You may have to repeat this after a major OS upgrade.

The import entry is in the menu bar icon under Profiles → Add Subscription; paste the link and update. The first time you click Connect, macOS asks you to allow a VPN configuration — enter your Mac password and allow it. Cancelling here does not raise an error, it just leaves the Connect button spinning.

It is worth keeping the menu bar icon always visible so the connection status and current server are one glance away, and switching does not require reopening the main window.

Android

Get the Android package from Download Client in the dashboard. During installation Android asks you to allow apps from this source — grant it and continue; you can turn the permission back off afterwards.

Open the client, go to Subscriptions, and use the plus button in the top right to choose Import from Clipboard, or paste the link manually, then save and update. The first connection triggers the system's connection request, which you must accept; if you decline once, the client stops prompting and you will have to re-authorise it in system settings.

It is also worth adding the client to the battery optimisation allowlist. When power-saving policies reclaim background processes, the tunnel drops while the interface still says Connected — the symptom is messages not arriving after the phone has been locked for a while.

iOS

The iPhone and iPad client comes from the App Store; the dashboard's download page shows the link while your plan is active, and prompts you to get a plan first when none is active.

After installing, paste the link on the Subscriptions page and update. On the first connection iOS asks to add a VPN configuration — allow it and confirm with your device passcode or Face ID.

iOS allows only one active VPN configuration at a time. If you have installed another client before, disconnect the old one under Settings → General → VPN and Device Management before connecting the new one; otherwise both interfaces may show Connected while the actual exit is anyone's guess.

05Connect and verify

Once connected, confirm the exit really changed

Pick a server in the client. For a first connection, choose an entry marked direct or dedicated with a low latency number; if one server slows down at peak hours, switch to another in the same region — no configuration changes needed.

Click Connect and the status goes from Disconnected to Connected, with the matching icon in the tray or status bar. That only means the client thinks the tunnel is up, not that your exit has switched, so run three checks:

  1. Open a site outside your region that normally will not load in your browser. If it loads, your traffic is really going through the server.
  2. On the dashboard's Network Check page, look at the current exit IP and its location, and see whether the country matches the server you picked. If it does not, there is usually a higher-priority rule left in the client, or another VPN is still active.
  3. Connect a second device at the same time to confirm that unlimited devices really applies to your account, rather than only the first device working.

If all three pass, you are good to go. If any fails, work through this order: click Update in the client to make sure the subscription is current; switch to another server in the same region to rule out a single bad server; check whether system proxy settings have been switched back to direct by another app; and finally confirm the client process has not been killed by battery-saving policies.

If it still will not connect, open a ticket with the client name, the server you selected and a screenshot of the error — far faster than asking in a comment thread, and much easier to diagnose.

Beyond the main path

The trade-offs between protocols, direct versus relayed routes, what dedicated lines change, and where packet loss and peak-hour slowdowns come from are covered systematically in Routes and Protocols; specific connection errors, order and refund questions, and client compatibility are organised by category in the Help Center.
