VPN Setup and Subscription Import

Open the account page below and create an account with a username and password. No email address is required. You’ll use your username to sign in later. Choose a unique password and save it in your password manager. Check your details before submitting. If your browser asks to save the password, decide based on whether you’re using a device you control.

After creating your account, follow the page instructions to open the user dashboard. If you already have an account, simply sign in—there’s no need to create another one for a different device. VPNBid supports unlimited devices at the same time, so you can use one account across your devices. You’ll still need to import the subscription into each device’s client and approve its local network configuration.

Once you’re in, find a page such as “Account Overview” and make sure you’re signed in to the account you intend to use. The user dashboard is where you manage plans, subscriptions, and client downloads. Tutorials on the marketing site provide instructions; they don’t distribute installers. Even if no routes are available yet, keep the dashboard open and choose a plan for the same account in the next step.

Start Free

This button takes you to the account page. Check the plan price and billing terms in the next step. This page makes no separate promise of free data or a free period.

Open the Plans section in the user dashboard. Decide whether you need a monthly plan or a data package you can use at your own pace. 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 are ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, and ¥658 for 3000GB. They last until used and never expire. The billing terms differ, so don’t compare the plans by data allowance alone.

If your usage is fairly regular, compare the monthly data allowances. If you use the service less often, consider a data package based on your actual usage. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan for browsing, streaming, or work: downloads, video quality, and time spent online all affect data use. For a side-by-side comparison, see the full plan prices and details, then return to the dashboard to choose a plan.

After choosing a plan, check the order name, amount, and billing terms. Pay only when they match your expectations. Supported payment methods are Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT; follow the payment page instructions. After paying, return to the user dashboard to check the result. Closing the external payment page doesn’t mean your account status has been updated—check the order and plan status shown in the dashboard.

If you’ve paid but the dashboard still shows your order as processing, refresh the status or reopen the overview before taking any further action. Don’t pay again right away. VPNBid offers a 30-day money-back guarantee; see the Terms of Service for details. If you upgrade partway through a plan, the price difference is converted into remaining days; it isn’t another full billing period. Once your plan is active, continue to get your subscription.

Choose a Plan

Return to the account overview and find the subscription section. A subscription URL isn’t a regular website homepage; it lets your client retrieve route configuration. If the dashboard offers “Copy subscription” or a similar option, use it to copy the URL, then switch to your client and paste it. If there’s an import option for your client, you can use that instead. Watch for a browser prompt to open the app.

If the app doesn’t open automatically, that doesn’t mean your subscription is invalid. First, make sure the relevant client is installed and has been opened at least once, then try the dashboard’s import option again. You can also copy the URL and add a remote subscription manually in the client. Don’t paste your account sign-in page, plan page, or this guide’s URL into the subscription field; those pages can’t replace the subscription configuration.

Your subscription URL may be linked to your account permissions, so keep it private like your sign-in details. Don’t post the full URL publicly or share dashboard screenshots containing it with anyone who doesn’t need it. To get help, describe your platform, where you were in the process, and any error message. Hide account details and subscription content before sharing a screenshot.

Next, open the client downloads section in the dashboard and choose the link for your device. On Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux, sign in to get the client; you’ll also need to sign in to get your subscription. For iOS, follow the availability requirements and instructions shown in the dashboard. Downloading a client and having an active subscription are separate things: installing the app doesn’t mean you have a route ready to connect.

Keep the dashboard open, then return to the client after installation. Linux users can check compatibility details from the same download section and follow the import instructions for their chosen client. For more configuration options, see the complete user manual. This guide continues with the usual desktop and mobile setup.

Windows: Add a remote subscription in the configuration settings

Download the Windows client from the dashboard, install it, and open the main window. You’ll need a client that manages remote subscriptions and routes, not a browser extension or a standard address field in your system settings. Find “Configuration,” “Subscription Management,” or a similar option, then choose to add a link. Paste the URL copied from the dashboard, enter a name if prompted, and confirm the import.

After saving, refresh or download the configuration and wait for the route list to appear. Then select the newly imported configuration as the active one. Seeing a subscription name doesn’t necessarily mean its contents have loaded, so check that you can expand the route group. When you’re ready to connect, turn on the system proxy or use the connection option in the client. If the system asks for permission, make sure the app name matches the client you just installed before approving.

macOS: Import the configuration and allow network access

Choose a subscription-based client for macOS from the dashboard, then install and launch it. If the dashboard’s import button opens the app, check whether the new configuration appears. If it doesn’t, open the “Configuration” or “Subscription” section and add the subscription URL from the dashboard. Save and refresh the configuration, then set it as the active one.

The first time you connect, macOS may ask you to allow a network configuration or grant related permissions, depending on how the client works. Follow the system prompts. Don’t enter your system password in the subscription URL field. Once the configuration and permissions are set, return to the app, choose a route, and connect. The menu bar icon may only show that the client is running; use the final section to check whether the services you need are actually accessible.

Android: Import a link from subscription management

Get the Android client from the dashboard, install it on your device, and open it. In the app’s configuration list or subscription management page, find the add option, choose a remote link, paste the URL, and save. If you tap the dashboard’s import link in a browser and the system asks which app to use, choose the matching client you installed. Don’t save the URL as a regular bookmark.

Refresh the configuration, select it, then open the route list and tap Connect. Android may show a system VPN connection request; verify the app and allow it. Keep the client in the foreground while testing. If the connection only drops when the screen locks or you switch apps, check the device’s background activity and battery settings. Options vary by device; see the Help Center for troubleshooting. You don’t need to change every system setting when you first import the subscription.

iOS: Get a client and add a configuration as directed in the dashboard

Open the iOS client section in the user dashboard and follow the availability requirements and instructions shown there. After getting the app, return to the dashboard and use the compatible import option. To import manually, find the subscription, configuration, or remote resources section in the app, choose Add from URL, and paste the subscription URL. Enter the subscription provided by the dashboard—not your account password or this guide’s URL.

Save and refresh the subscription, make sure routes have loaded, then turn on the connection. If the system asks to add a VPN configuration, follow the system prompts to authorize it. Return to the client and check the selected configuration and route. A connection indicator only shows that the network configuration is enabled; it doesn’t prove that a particular website is accessible. If import fails, first check that the copied URL is complete and has no extra spaces, then check your plan status in the dashboard. Don’t delete your account or pay again as a first step.

Open the route selector in your client and choose a route in the region needed by the service you want to use, then connect. The first time you connect, keep the client’s default recommended mode and avoid changing routes, routing rules, and system settings all at once. If another proxy app is already managing your network, disconnect it before enabling this client so you can tell which configuration is active.

After connecting, revisit the site you need to use. If necessary, open a new page or fully quit and relaunch the app so cached content doesn’t affect the result. Check that the page loads and that the features you need work. For a work service, check that you can access your workspace and its required resources. For a video service, start playback rather than stopping at the homepage.

If regular websites load but an AI or streaming service doesn’t, check the target platform’s account region, service availability, and the region of your current route. A network connection can’t replace platform account eligibility, and it doesn’t guarantee access to content in every region. Keep other settings unchanged and try another route in the target region; this makes it easier to find the cause than changing several settings at once. For tips on choosing routes, see the route guide.

If no pages load, disconnect the client and check whether your original network still works. If your local network is also down, troubleshoot that connection first. If it works when disconnected but not when connected, return to the client and check that the right configuration is selected, the subscription is up to date, a route is selected, and any required system permissions have been granted. Change one thing at a time and test again so you don’t disrupt settings that were working.

After testing, everyday use usually just means opening the client, checking the configuration and route, and connecting. Refresh the subscription when the dashboard prompts you to update it. To use another device, repeat the client download and import steps there. Don’t share local configuration files from an old device publicly. VPNBid’s anonymous, no-logs policy is a service policy; you’re still responsible for keeping your password and subscription URL private.

That completes the basic setup. For a specific error, search the Help Center by account, connection, speed, or billing issue. For routing modes, routine maintenance, and advanced settings, see the complete user manual. When contacting support through the dashboard, include your device’s operating system, client name, where the issue occurred, and what you’ve tried. Don’t post your subscription URL on a public page.
