VPNYN setup guide: five steps from account to connected

Open the VPNYN website in your browser and click Log in at the right end of the navigation bar, or click Start Free Trial on the homepage. Both take you to the dashboard login page. If this is your first time, switch to the Register tab on that page.

The form asks for just two things: a username and a password. No email address is required, so there is no verification email to wait for. Pick a username that is easy to remember, letters and numbers work well, since you will use it to log in, open tickets and recover your password. Use a password you do not reuse on any other site.

Once you submit, the account is active immediately and you are signed in automatically, landing on Overview. At this point Overview shows an empty state: no plan, no data, no subscription link. That is normal; just move on to choosing a plan.

Two common cases are worth mentioning up front. If the username is already taken, pick another one or add a digit or two. If you forget your password, the dashboard login page has a Forgot password link; follow the prompts there. If you cannot recall your username either, contact support through the ticket entry in the dashboard. More detailed account questions live in the Account & Subscription category of the Help Center and are not covered here.

Once you are in the dashboard, click Buy Plan in the left-hand navigation to see every tier. VPNYN offers two ways to buy: monthly subscriptions and data packs. Both come with the same routes, clients and simultaneous-device allowance; only the billing model differs.

Monthly subscriptions suit steady usage: ¥9.9 / month for 60GB, ¥18 / month for 250GB and ¥28 / month for 500GB. Data resets every month on your activation date; activate on the 8th, for example, and your allowance refreshes on the 8th of every following month. Upgrading from a lower tier mid-cycle is charged pro rata for the remaining days, so you do not have to wait for the next period.

Data packs suit usage that fluctuates, or anyone who wants to try the service for a while first: ¥158 / 300GB, ¥358 / 1000GB and ¥658 / 3000GB. They last until used up and never expire, so buying one and starting it months later wastes nothing.

Selecting a tier takes you to an order confirmation page. Check the plan name, data allowance and amount, then choose a payment method: Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. Once payment goes through, the order status changes to Active, the data is credited immediately and the remaining data on the Overview page updates to match.

If the status stays on Pending payment after you pay, refresh the page once. If it still has not changed a few minutes later, note the order number and submit it through the ticket entry in the dashboard so it can be checked against the order. If the service turns out not to be right for you, there is a 7-day refund with no questions asked; see the Terms of Service page for details.

Once your plan is active, go back to the Overview page in the dashboard. Three things are listed there: your current plan and its expiry date, the data remaining this month, and a subscription link.

The subscription link looks like this: https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. That is only a format example; the real link is whatever the dashboard shows. Click the copy button next to it, then hand it to your client in the next step. The client uses this link to pull the latest routes on a regular basis (covering 120+ countries / 180+ routes), so you never have to edit the configuration by hand when routes change.

This link works like account credentials, so do not forward it to anyone outside your account. If you suspect it has leaked, remove the subscription from your client first, then contact support through the ticket entry in the dashboard.

The same subscription link works on several devices at once; VPNYN does not limit how many are online simultaneously. Phone, computer and tablet can all stay connected without knocking each other offline, as long as the devices are yours.

If the Subscription section is not visible on the Overview page yet, first check that the plan status is Active. A brand-new order occasionally takes a few dozen seconds to sync; refresh the page and it will appear.

Once you have the subscription link, hand it to your client. VPNYN clients cover five platforms: Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Sign in to the dashboard and pick your platform on the Downloads page. If you already use a compatible client you like, you can import the same subscription link there instead; both connect to the same set of routes.

Importing works the same way across platforms: find the Subscription entry → paste the link → save → go back to the route list and pick one → connect. The sections below give the exact path for each platform; they are in no particular order, so read the one for the platform you use.

The Linux desktop client is also available on the Downloads page, and the import path matches the desktop client: go to Subscription → Add, paste the same link and save.

Pick a route and click Connect. The client showing Connected only means the tunnel is up; it does not prove that traffic is actually going through the international route, so spend two minutes on the three checks below and save yourself trouble later.

1. Check your exit IP. Before connecting, note your current exit IP (search the web for your IP address, or open any IP lookup site); check again after connecting. If the two show different regions, your traffic is going through the route. If they are identical, go back to the client and check the state of the connection switch.
2. Check DNS. Run a test on a site that supports DNS leak checks. If the resolver shown belongs to your local ISP, domain lookups are still happening locally; turn on the Remote DNS or DNS leak protection switch in the client and test again.
3. Test per app. If the client runs in rule or split-tunnel mode, only traffic matching the rules goes through the route. Open a target service (a streaming platform you watch, an AI tool you use); if it loads normally, the route works for it. If it does not, try another route; there is no need to doubt the whole account.

A few common cases where it looks connected but traffic is not going through: the system proxy switch was never turned on; the client is stuck in LAN-only mode; another proxy extension in the browser is grabbing the traffic back; or the subscription has not been updated for a long time and the route is already offline. Work through the list, reconnect, and it usually clears up.

Once the checks pass, turn on Launch at startup and Auto-connect in the client so it is ready whenever you boot up. When you switch devices, repeat steps three and four: import the same subscription link into the new client.

If speeds are not what you hoped, try another route in the same region before switching regions; cross-continent routes tend to fluctuate more during peak evening hours than routes in the same region.
