Create an account and save your credentials
Open the VPNSize user panel using the “Free Trial” option below. You can create an account without an email address—just follow the on-screen prompts to choose a username and password. Use a unique password and save it in a trusted password manager. Don’t include your login details in screenshots you plan to share publicly.
After submitting, make sure you reach the account overview. If you are still on the form, read the on-screen prompts, check the required fields and confirmation details, then try again. If you already have an account, sign in through the panel instead of creating another one. Your plan, subscription, and support tickets are all managed under the same account, so make sure you are signed in to the account you intend to keep before paying.
You have completed this step when you can open the account overview—not when the client can connect. Account access and connection setup are separate steps. Next, choose a plan and get your subscription once the plan is active.
Choose a plan based on your usage
Open the plans section in the user panel and first decide between a monthly plan and a data package. Monthly plans suit regular use, with data resetting each month on the activation date. Data packages suit variable usage: they last until used up and never expire. Consider how often you’ll connect and what you’ll do online. Video and file transfers typically use more data than text browsing, so don’t choose a tier based only on device count.
Monthly plans: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data packages: ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, and ¥658 for 3000GB. This service supports unlimited devices, but device count and data allowance are separate: keep an eye on your remaining data when using multiple devices. If you upgrade a monthly plan mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Review the billing details shown in the panel before proceeding.
Before confirming, check the plan name, price, and billing method in your order. Pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT as prompted in the panel. After payment, return to the panel to check the order and plan status; closing the payment page does not confirm activation. If the status has not updated, check the order result before trying again to avoid duplicate payments. VPNSize offers a 14-day refund policy. See the refund policy for how to request a refund.
Get your subscription from the account overview
Once your plan is active, open the account overview and find the subscription section. The subscription URL lets your client retrieve server configurations; it is not a regular website address or an installer. If the panel offers an import button for your client, use it. If the client is already installed, your browser may ask to open the app. Check that the app name is correct before proceeding.
If automatic import does not open the app, use the copy subscription URL option, then choose “Add from URL,” “Import subscription,” or a similarly named option in the client. Paste the entire URL without adding spaces, line breaks, or quotation marks. Save and update it until the server list appears. Pasting the URL into your browser’s address bar does not import the subscription into the client.
Treat your subscription URL like account credentials and keep it secure. Don’t post it in public groups, articles, or screenshots. If you need to describe an issue in a support ticket, share the error message and what you did, and redact the URL. The example below is for formatting only and will not connect; get your actual URL from your own panel.
https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKENOnce you have your subscription, jump to the section for your device. If you already have another proxy app running on the same platform, disconnect it before setting up the VPNSize client to avoid multiple apps changing your network settings at once.
Import into the Windows client
Sign in to the user panel, open the downloads section, and get the VPNSize client for Windows. You can download the Windows client after signing in; you do not need to have purchased a plan first. You will still need an active subscription to connect. Install the app by following the on-screen instructions. This page does not provide a direct installer link, and there is no need to download files from unverified search results.
This type of client uses subscriptions to manage servers. First, try importing from the panel. If your browser cannot open the app, find the “Subscription” or “Configuration” page in the client, choose to add a new one from a URL, and paste the subscription URL you copied. Give the configuration a name you’ll recognize, save and update it, then select it as the active configuration once the server list appears.
Choose a region from the server list and turn on the connection. If the client has separate controls for “System Proxy” and connecting, follow its instructions to enable the system proxy setting that suits your needs. Check the app name before approving any system permission request, then follow the connection verification steps on this page. If servers appear but websites won’t load, don’t reinstall the app repeatedly. First check that the configuration is selected and the connection is on, then verify your exit location.
Import into the macOS client
In the downloads section of the user panel, select macOS and follow the instructions to download and install the client. You can get the macOS client after signing in; you do not need to have purchased a plan first. When opening it for the first time, check that any app confirmation or network permission prompt refers to the app you just downloaded, then proceed as usual. Do not disable macOS security features entirely just to install the client.
Open the subscription or configuration manager in the client. Use the panel’s import option, or choose to add from a URL and paste the full subscription URL. After updating, check the server list, select the imported configuration, then choose a region. Some clients put common controls in the menu bar; closing the main window may not quit the app, so check the connection status from the menu bar.
When connecting, approve the network configuration if prompted by the app. If the client offers separate options for system proxy and other network routing modes, complete a basic connection using the default instructions first. There is no need to change advanced settings just to get started. After connecting, open a browser and test it. To disconnect, use the control in the app, then check that your network is back to normal. For more on system proxies, routing, and advanced modes, see the beginner-to-advanced handbook.
Import into the Android client
On your Android device, sign in to the user panel and open the downloads section to get the client. You can get the Android client after signing in; you do not need to have purchased a plan first. If Android asks you to allow app installations from this source, check that the file came from the panel and follow the prompt. After installation, you can restore your previous installation permission setting in system settings.
Open the app and find the subscription, configuration, or import option. Try the panel’s import option first. If it does not open the app automatically, paste your subscription URL into the client’s URL field, then save and update it. When the server list appears, select the configuration and region, then connect. Android usually displays a system VPN connection request. Check the app name before approving it; this is a separate step from importing the subscription.
If the connection drops soon after you switch to your browser, check whether Android is restricting the client’s background activity. Adjust settings only for the client you’re using; there’s no need to disable battery management for every app. For testing, keep the client in the foreground, confirm that you can access your target site, then switch apps to check that the connection stays up. A VPN icon in the system bar only shows that the connection configuration is active; verify it by visiting a site and checking your exit location.
Import and authorize the iOS client
On your iPhone or iPad, open the downloads section in the user panel and select the iOS client option. The iOS client is available through the panel to accounts with an active, purchased plan. Follow the prompt to open the App Store. If you see a plan status message, return to the account overview and check your plan. App availability may depend on your App Store account region; check the store listing for current availability.
After installing the app, return to the panel and use its import option to open the client. If it does not open, look for an option to add from a URL in the client’s subscription manager or configuration page, then paste and save the URL. Allow the app to access clipboard content for importing if prompted, then update the configuration and check that the server list appears. This process uses a client that supports subscription configurations; do not paste the subscription URL into the server address field in iOS settings as a substitute for importing it.
When you select a server and connect, iOS may ask to add a VPN configuration. Check the app name and follow the system prompts to approve it. Authorizing an iOS VPN configuration is not the same as installing a separate profile. The word “configuration” in this guide does not mean you need to look for an additional file. After approving it, check the connection status in the app, then verify your exit location. If you already have another VPN configuration on your device, disconnect it first so you don’t mistake the old connection’s status for the current one.
Connect to a server and verify it works
Once the server list appears in the client, check that the configuration is enabled, then select a region and connect. Choose a region based on what you need: if you need content from a specific region, check the exit location first; for general browsing, start with a server suited to your network. VPNSize covers 90+ countries / 150+ servers, but access to a particular website still depends on the server, the site’s rules, and your account status. A region name alone cannot guarantee access.
Open Network Check and compare your exit information before and after connecting, then visit the site you want to use. With rule-based routing, the test page may use your local connection. An unchanged exit location on its own does not necessarily mean that no traffic is going through the client; consider the client’s mode and whether the target site works. Conversely, a changed exit location does not mean every app is using the connection as expected.
If you can’t access the site, check in order that your plan is active, you have data remaining, the right configuration is selected, the subscription updated successfully, and the connection is on. Then try another server in the same region and reload the target page. Change one thing at a time and note any error messages so you can identify what made a difference. Avoid reinstalling the app, changing system network settings, and switching configurations all at once, as that makes the issue difficult to reproduce.
Once verified, everyday use mostly means connecting, checking your data balance, and updating your subscription when needed. Monthly plan data resets each month on the activation date; data packages last until used up and never expire. You can import your subscription on each device you use. There is no device limit, but keep your account and subscription URL secure and do not share them publicly.
Linux and troubleshooting
Linux is supported too. Sign in to the panel to get the Linux client; you do not need to have purchased a plan first. Installation and network settings vary across desktop environments, so start with the client instructions in the panel, then follow the same sequence: import your subscription, select a configuration, connect, and verify. This page does not cover distribution-specific setup or advanced routing. For the complete setup and maintenance process, see the beginner-to-advanced guide.
If you still can’t connect after following these steps, use a support ticket in the user panel to describe your platform, where the issue occurred, the error message, and what you have already tried. Before attaching screenshots, hide your username, subscription URL, and payment details. A clear account of what you did is more helpful than simply saying “it won’t connect.”
