Account → Plan → Subscription → Client → Connection check. Follow the steps in order and verify each result before moving on.

Account setup

Create an account and save your credentials

Choose “Start Free” below to open the U6VPN user panel, then follow the prompts to enter a username and password. No email address is required. Choose a username you’ll recognize and won’t confuse with one you use elsewhere. Set a unique password and store it in a trusted password manager. Don’t rely on your browser’s temporary memory alone, or you may lose your login details when you switch devices.

After submitting your details, check that the user panel opens, or follow the prompts to return to the sign-in page and log in. If you’re still on the same page, read the notes near the fields: the username may already be taken, or a required field may be incomplete. Fix the item mentioned before submitting again. Avoid creating multiple accounts, so you don’t mix up the account you paid with and the one holding your subscription.

Take a moment to locate the account overview, plans, and downloads in the panel. The marketing site contains product information and guides; the user panel is where you manage plans, get your subscription, and download clients. Use the same account for all the steps that follow. Once you’ve confirmed you can access the panel, choose a plan.

Plan details

Choose a plan and review your order

Open the plans section in the user panel and compare monthly plans with data packages. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB; data resets monthly on the activation date. Data packages cost ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They expire only when used up and never expire by date. Choose based on how often you’ll use the service and how much data you need. You don’t need a higher tier for more devices—simultaneous device use is unlimited.

For everyday browsing and light tool use, start with your actual needs. Video streaming, file transfers, and regular use of AI tools consume different amounts of data, so usage time alone isn’t a reliable estimate. If you’re unsure, read the plan pricing and billing details to understand how resets work before choosing in the panel. If you upgrade a monthly plan mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Check the amount shown in the panel before proceeding.

After choosing a plan, check the plan name, price, and data allowance in the order, then pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. Don’t switch accounts during payment or place another order just because the page takes time to redirect. When payment is complete, return to the panel and check your order and plan status. If your payment app shows success but the panel hasn’t updated, refresh the order page and check again. If anything is still unclear, keep your order details and contact support through a panel ticket.

This service offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy. Read the Terms of Service for the application process and eligibility. Payment confirmation alone doesn’t complete this step—you should also be able to see the corresponding plan in your account. Once you’ve confirmed the plan status, you’re ready to get your subscription.

Subscription handoff

Get your subscription and check the copied link

Open the account overview in the user panel, confirm your current plan and available data, and find the subscription section. The subscription link gives your client the route configuration associated with your account; it’s different from the website homepage or an order link. Use the panel’s copy button to copy the subscription URL. If you’re asked to choose a configuration format, follow the panel or client’s instructions.

For your first import, you can check that the copied link is complete in a local text field on your device. Don’t send it in public chats, forums, or online text tools. A real subscription link may contain credentials specific to your account, and anyone who obtains it may be able to use its configuration. Before reporting an issue to support, hide the credential portion of the link. Screenshots should show only the error, configuration name, and relevant status information.

The address below is only an example to help you recognize a subscription link; it cannot be imported. For actual setup, return to the account overview and copy the link for your account. Don’t try to construct a URL by adding paths in your browser’s address bar. After copying, go straight to the client to import it so other copied text doesn’t overwrite the clipboard.

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

If there’s no usable subscription option in the account overview, first check that you’re signed in to the account used for payment, then review your plan and order status. Don’t repeatedly paste blank content into the client or ask someone else for a shared subscription instead of using your own configuration. Once you’ve confirmed the account and source, follow the platform instructions in the next section to get a client.

Client setup

Clients and subscription imports by platform

First, open the downloads section in the user panel and choose a client for your device. After signing in, you can get downloads for Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux. The iOS download option requires an active plan; follow the instructions in the panel. Don’t install a file intended for another operating system, and there’s no need to install multiple clients of the same type. For your first setup, using the option provided in the panel makes it easier to follow the guide and troubleshoot.

The general import steps are: open configuration management, choose the option to add from a link, paste the subscription URL, save and update, then select the configuration. A successful import usually shows a configuration name and a list of routes, not just a URL sitting in an input field. If one-click import is available, make sure the link opens the client you intend to use, then complete the import in that client.

Windows: Desktop subscription clients

Download the Windows desktop client from the panel, install it as prompted by Windows, and open it. Go to “Configuration” or “Subscription” management and look for options such as adding a configuration or importing from a URL. Paste the full link you copied. If the client asks for a configuration name, enter a label you’ll recognize; the label doesn’t replace the subscription URL.

Save, then update or download the configuration. Wait for the route list to appear and set the configuration as active. If the client needs system proxy access, enable it as prompted. Don’t run another proxy app at the same time. When a system permission prompt appears, check the app’s source and what it’s requesting. Once setup is complete, leave the client open; you’ll choose a route and connect shortly.

macOS: Desktop or menu bar clients

Get a macOS-compatible subscription client from the panel and install it according to the download page instructions. On first launch, macOS may ask you to confirm permissions. Follow the client’s current prompts; don’t apply security settings that aren’t relevant to your system. If the client runs mainly from the menu bar, click its menu bar icon to open settings, then add the link under “Configuration,” “Subscription Management,” or the import option.

After saving the subscription, update it and check that the route list appears. Then select the configuration you just imported. If one-click import from your browser doesn’t work, copy the link and add it manually in the client. Importing only saves the route information; you’ll still need to enable the system proxy or connection switch as prompted by the client to test access.

Android: Mobile clients with subscription support

Download an Android client from the user panel and install it following your device’s prompts. Open the app, go to the configuration or subscription list, tap Add, and choose the option to import from a link. Paste and save the URL. Some clients download the configuration automatically when you save it; others require you to tap Update. The import is complete when you can select a route.

When you select a configuration and start the connection, Android will usually ask permission to establish a VPN connection. Confirm that the request comes from the client you just installed, then allow it. If another VPN app is connected, disconnect it first to avoid conflicts. Keep the client in the foreground for the first test. Once you can access your target service, adjust background and battery settings as needed, following your device’s prompts. Avoid changing too many system settings before testing.

iOS: VPN clients with subscription support

On your iPhone or iPad, sign in to the user panel, open the downloads section, and use the iOS download option for your active plan. Follow the prompts to open the App Store. If the panel says you need an active plan, return to the account overview to check your status rather than looking for an installation file elsewhere. Once the client is ready, start a one-click import from the panel or use the client’s option to add a subscription from a URL.

After confirming the import, wait for the client to load the configuration and display the routes. When you connect for the first time, iOS will ask to add a VPN configuration. Allow it in the system dialog and complete any required device authorization. Return to the client, select a route, and turn on the connection. The VPN indicator in the status bar or Settings can help, but check an actual website and target service to confirm it works.

Connection check

Connect to a route and confirm it works

Return to the client’s main screen and confirm that the active configuration is the subscription you just imported and updated. Choose the required exit region from the route list based on the target service’s regional requirements, not just the route name. After connecting, check that the client shows a connected status, system proxy enabled, or the equivalent. If it says no configuration is selected, return to the configuration list and set one as active.

Check the connection in stages. First, open a regular webpage to make sure your device is still online. Next, visit this site’s IP lookup page and compare the browser’s current exit IP with the region you selected. Finally, open the AI tool or streaming service you actually want to use and try it. Loading the homepage alone doesn’t confirm that sign-in, AI responses, or video playback work, so test the features you’ll use.

An IP lookup shows the route used by your browser’s request; it doesn’t necessarily show how every app on your device is connected. With rule-based routing, some sites may keep their existing connection while other requests use the selected exit. If the exit hasn’t changed, check the system proxy or client mode first, then see whether your browser has a separate proxy extension. Don’t start by reinstalling the client repeatedly—check the configuration and connection status first.

If regular webpages work but the target service returns an error, note the error and check the exit region, your account region, and the service’s availability. AI services may assess account status and network conditions separately. Streaming libraries also depend on how the platform currently classifies your connection, and switching routes doesn’t necessarily change account permissions. If you need to switch routes, change only that one setting, reopen the target page, and check the result. This makes it easier to identify the cause than changing several settings at once.

After testing, note the configuration name and exit region so you can reproduce the same conditions if an issue comes up later. Subscription updates sync route information; the client’s connection switch starts or stops access. They’re separate actions. When you’re done and want to stop using the proxy, disconnect or turn off the relevant switch in the client, then check that your regular connection is back to the expected state.

That completes the main first-time setup. For connection issues, subscription updates, and billing questions, search the Help Center by topic. For login restrictions, streaming responses, and development environment setup with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, see the AI Connectivity Guide. To report an issue, open a support ticket in the panel and include your operating system, client, selected region, and the exact error. Hide your subscription credentials.

Final checks

You can sign in, confirm your plan, import your subscription, select a route, and verify access to the target service. Keeping track of these results makes future troubleshooting easier than relying on a “connected” indicator alone.
