VPN Client Setup
Set up your account and subscription in the user panel, then import the subscription into the client on your device. Finally, check your exit location and the apps you use to confirm traffic is routed as expected.
Create an Account and Open the User Panel
Click “Start Free” below to open the I6VPN user panel’s account creation page. No email required—just choose a username and password. Use a username you can keep track of and a unique password for this service. Check your entries before continuing to avoid mix-ups with capitalization or extra spaces when signing in on another device.
After creating your account, follow the prompts to open the account overview. If you land on the login page, sign in with the username and password you just set; there’s no need to create another account. The overview shows your subscription status, remaining data, and import options. Plans, orders, and client downloads are also available in the same user panel.
First, make sure you can open the panel, then continue to plan selection. “Start Free” takes you to account creation; plan prices are shown on the plans page. Creating an account does not activate a paid subscription. If no configuration or route list is available yet, check your plan status before reinstalling the client.
Choose a Plan and Check Your Order Status
Open the plans section in the panel and choose a monthly subscription or data package based on how often you use the service. Monthly plans include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. For regular use, compare the monthly allowances with your needs, including video streaming and file transfers, rather than looking at price alone.
If your usage is occasional, compare the data packages: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. Data is available until used and never expires. The key difference is how long you can use the data, not how many devices can connect. I6VPN has no limit on simultaneous devices, but all devices draw from your plan’s data allowance.
After choosing a plan, check the amount, data allowance, and billing terms on the confirmation page. Pay using the Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT option shown there. Then return to the user panel to check your order and plan status. If the payment page shows completion but the panel hasn’t updated, refresh the order status and keep your payment record; don’t pay again right away.
Once your plan is active, continue to subscription setup. If you upgrade a monthly plan mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days; check the panel for the exact result. I6VPN offers a 60-day no-questions-asked refund. See the refund policy for details. To compare plans, start with the plan pricing page, then return to the panel to continue.
Get Your Subscription and Prepare to Import It
Open the account overview, check that your plan is active, then find the subscription options. The client needs a configuration link, not a regular website address. If the panel offers a quick import option for your client, try that first. If it doesn’t open the client, keep the panel open and continue by copying the subscription link.
In your client, look for “Subscription,” “Configuration,” or “Add Configuration.” Choose the option to add via URL, then paste the full link. Don’t paste it into a browser search box or edit its parameters. This guide doesn’t provide a usable subscription address; the example below only shows what a link looks like and cannot connect:
https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKENA real subscription link contains account credentials and should be protected like a password. Don’t post it publicly in forums, screenshots, or online conversion tools from unknown sources. Use the import option provided by the panel. If you need help troubleshooting, describe the error message and hide the full link and its parameters before sharing a screenshot.
After adding the subscription, update or refresh the configuration. You should then see a list of routes or policy groups in the client. If the list is still empty, return to the panel and check your plan status, remaining data, and whether the copied link is complete. Then confirm the client supports the configuration format. Adding a link successfully doesn’t mean you’re connected yet; select a configuration and enable network access next.
Import Your Subscription on Each Device
First, open the client downloads section in the user panel and select your device’s platform. After signing in, you can get the Windows, macOS, Android, or Linux client without purchasing a plan. However, you’ll need an active plan to get a usable subscription and connect. The iOS download option requires a purchased, unexpired plan. Follow the panel’s instructions to get the I6VPN client; there’s no need to look elsewhere for an installer or guess which format to use.
Windows: Import and Check Proxy Status
Select the Windows client in the panel, download the installer for your system, and follow the setup wizard. Once it’s running, return to the account overview in your browser and use an import option supported by the client. Alternatively, copy the subscription link, then choose the option to add via URL on the client’s “Configuration” or “Subscription” page. Enter a recognizable local name, save, and update the configuration.
Once the route list appears, select the configuration you just imported, then enable the connection and system proxy as instructed by the client. If Windows asks for permission, check the app’s source and follow the prompt. When the connection button shows that you’re connected, open the target website in a browser. If the browser works but a desktop app doesn’t, check whether it follows the system proxy and whether the client offers a suitable connection mode. Don’t delete all your configurations as a first step.
macOS: Allow the Required Network Configuration
Select macOS in the client downloads section and get the client specified for your system and device. After installing and launching it, if macOS asks to allow a network configuration, confirm it came from the client you just installed and follow the on-screen instructions. Don’t disable macOS security features to deal with an unknown-source warning. If you’re unsure, return to the panel and check the download source.
Return to the account overview to start the import, or add the subscription URL in the client’s configuration management page. After updating, select the configuration and route you want, then connect. The menu bar icon usually only indicates that the app is running; check the client’s status to confirm it’s routing traffic. If access fails after waking your Mac from sleep, reconnect and check your network before trying another route.
Android: Import and Allow the VPN Connection Request
Get the Android client from the user panel and follow the system prompts to install it. Once it’s open, return to your browser and use a supported import option. If the browser doesn’t open the app, copy the subscription link and look for “Import from URL” or a similar option on the client’s configuration page. Save and refresh the subscription, then confirm the configuration contains routes—not just a name with no routes behind it.
Choose a route and start the connection. Android may show a system VPN connection prompt; check the app and allow the request. First, test the target website while the app is in the foreground, then check what happens when you lock the screen or switch apps. If the connection drops only in the background, check the system’s background activity and battery restrictions for the client. Settings names vary by device; change only what’s relevant to the issue rather than adjusting every battery-saving option.
iOS: Open the Client Download Option from the Panel
First, make sure your account has an active, unexpired plan. Then open the iOS client download option in the user panel and follow the instructions to go to the App Store. If the panel asks you to choose a plan first, return to the plans section and check your status instead of looking for an installer elsewhere. Downloading the client and importing your subscription are separate steps; after installing the app, return to the account overview to get your configuration.
If the client supports it, use the panel’s import option and confirm that it opens the app. Alternatively, copy the subscription and choose the option to add via URL in the configuration or subscription management page. Update the routes and connect, then allow the VPN configuration when prompted by iOS and complete any required on-device confirmation. Check the connection status in the client, then test it in the app you actually use. Don’t rely on the VPN icon in iOS as your only check.
Connect to a Route and Check Access
After importing successfully, choose an exit region that suits your needs. For general international sites, start with a route that works well on your network. For AI tools or streaming, also check which regions the target service supports and its account rules. I6VPN covers 100+ countries / 190+ routes; available options depend on the updated list in your client. See the route list for guidance on choosing a route.
Choose a route and connect. Make sure the configuration is enabled and turn on the system proxy or other network access option required by the client. For your first check, close other tools that may be routing network traffic to reduce conflicts. If you only want certain apps to use a route, don’t change a lot of rules before you’ve confirmed the connection works. Test the default configuration first, then adjust settings one at a time for your needs.
Next, open My IP to check your browser’s current exit location and compare it with the region you selected. If the client uses rule-based routing, a test site may connect directly, so treat the exit check as a clue and also check your rules and target app. If the check page won’t load, that doesn’t necessarily mean the connection failed. Try the target website and check whether the client reports a configuration or connection error.
Finally, open the app you actually need: check whether pages load fully, sign-in works, and existing sessions remain active. If ChatGPT won’t open or a streaming service shows a region message, first check the service’s regional requirements, then reconnect using a consistent region. For details, see AI tool access and streaming access. A working network connection doesn’t replace the account, content, or regional eligibility requirements of the service itself.
If You Can’t Connect, Check These in Order
First check your account and data, then refresh the subscription. Next, confirm the configuration is enabled and system permissions are allowed; only then try another route. Change one thing at a time and see whether the error changes. If no routes update, focus on subscription retrieval and configuration format. If routes update but the target app won’t connect, check the connection mode, exit region, and app rules. For tips on peak-hour performance and route types, read the guide to route stability.
If you still can’t identify the issue, use a support ticket in the user panel to share your device platform, the client error message, the route name, and when the issue occurs. Hide sensitive information in screenshots, including subscription links, passwords, and payment credentials. A clear error message is more useful than repeatedly reinstalling the client. There’s no need to change other devices that are already working normally.
