Set up your account and save your login details
Start in the VPNVJ user panel. Set up your account with a username and password—no email required. Before entering your details, make sure you’re on vpnvj.com, then follow the prompts. Choose a username you’ll recognize and a unique password you don’t use on other sites. Store your login details in a trusted password manager.
Once you’re done, the panel may take you straight to your account overview, where you can choose a plan. If you’re still on the login page, sign in with the username and password you saved. Don’t create another account just because the page is slow to update: orders and subscriptions could end up under different accounts, making them harder to track.
Before continuing, make sure you’re signed in to the account you plan to keep using. Your orders, subscription status, and client imports will all be tied to this account. If you leave the page, you can return later through the “Log in” link on the right side of the navigation—there’s no need to set up another account.
Choose a plan and check the billing details
Open the plans section of the panel and decide whether you need data that resets monthly or a data package that lasts until it’s used up. Monthly plans suit regular use: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date. Check your plan status in the panel for the reset date rather than assuming it falls on the first of the month.
If your usage varies, consider a data package: ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, or ¥658 for 3000GB. Data lasts until it’s used up and never expires. Monthly plans and data packages work differently, so compare the price, data allowance, and your usage habits—not just the amount shown on each card. See the Pricing page for details.
After choosing a plan, review the order confirmation page to check the plan, amount due, and account. Then pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. Return to the panel to check the order and plan status. If the status hasn’t updated, check the original order before trying to pay again. For help, submit the order details and the message you see through the panel’s support ticket section.
VPNVJ offers a 7-day money-back guarantee. Read the Terms of Service for the details. When you upgrade mid-term, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Check the calculation shown in the panel before upgrading; it doesn’t simply add another full plan period. Once your plan is active, continue to the subscription steps.
Get your subscription from the account overview
Open the account overview in the user panel, check your plan status and remaining data, then find the subscription section. The subscription link gives your client access to routes and configuration; it isn’t a regular web address. Your client usually needs to read the link. Seeing text or a download prompt when you open it in a browser doesn’t tell you whether the subscription imported successfully.
If the panel offers a one-click import for your installed client, start there. When your system asks whether to open the client, check the app name and allow it to open. Then confirm in the client that the configuration was added. If you haven’t installed a client yet, go to the downloads section in the next part, install it, and return to the account overview to import your subscription.
For manual import, use the panel’s copy option to copy the full link, then paste it into the client’s subscription URL field. Don’t edit the link or include line breaks, instructions, or other text. The subscription URL contains account access credentials, so keep it as secure as a password. Don’t share it in public chats, posts, or shared documents, and hide the full address in screenshots.
After importing, you should see a configuration name and a list of routes. If you see a configuration name but no routes, try updating the subscription first, then check that your plan is active and the link is complete. Don’t use someone else’s subscription link found on a public site. For more on subscription updates and keeping your credentials secure, see the User Handbook.
Import a client for your platform
Choose your platform in the panel’s downloads section and follow the instructions to get a VPNVJ client. You only need to be signed in to download a client; an active plan isn’t required, except for iOS. To get a working subscription, check your plan status first. For iOS, the panel determines whether you’re eligible to download. Installing a client doesn’t mean you’re connected yet—you still need to import and enable a configuration.
The instructions below cover common options on each platform. These clients can import subscriptions and route traffic according to rules; they’re not browser extensions. Installation, import, and connection are separate steps. Check that each one works before continuing, so you can identify the cause if something goes wrong.
Windows: Import a Desktop Configuration and Enable the Proxy
In the panel’s downloads section, choose Windows and follow the instructions to install the recommended client. Once it’s running, return to your account overview and try one-click import. If your browser doesn’t open the app, find the “Configuration” or “Subscription” section in the client. Choose an option such as “Import from link,” paste the subscription URL you copied, and confirm.
Wait for the configuration to load, then check that a route list appears and select this configuration. Set the mode to rules or split tunneling, then enable the system proxy as directed by the client. Opening the client doesn’t automatically route your browser through the proxy: check separately that the system proxy is enabled and the configuration is selected. You don’t need to adjust advanced features such as virtual network adapters to get started. Verify a basic connection first.
macOS: Confirm the Configuration and System Permissions
Get and install the macOS client from the panel. When you open it for the first time, follow any system prompts. In the client’s configuration or subscription manager, use the panel’s one-click import or add the subscription through its remote URL option. Save and update the configuration, then select a route once the route list appears.
When you connect, macOS may ask you to confirm proxy settings or grant network permissions. Check the app name, then follow the prompt. If the client keeps running in the menu bar after you close its window, check the connection status there. Before testing, make sure the configuration is enabled and no other proxy tool is controlling the system network. Otherwise, your browser’s actual route may not match what the client window shows.
Android: Add a Subscription and Allow the Connection
Sign in to the panel, open the downloads section, and choose Android. Install the recommended client by following your device’s prompts. Then return to your account overview and try one-click import. If it doesn’t open automatically, create a remote subscription in the client’s configuration manager, paste the link, and save it. Once the update completes, select the configuration and choose an exit route from the route list.
When you tap Connect, Android may ask you to authorize the VPN connection. Check that the request comes from the client you just installed, then allow it to connect. Keep the client running while you switch to your browser to test the connection; don’t close it or clear it from recent apps. If it disconnects often when the screen is off or you switch apps, check the system’s background and battery settings for the client. Menu names vary by device.
iOS: Get and Import a Client Using the Panel Instructions
Choose iOS in the panel’s downloads section. The panel checks whether your subscription meets the requirements and directs you to the appropriate client. If it says you need an active subscription, return to your account overview to check your plan. Don’t keep trying other sources. After installing the client, return to the panel and choose the one-click import option for it in the subscription section.
For manual setup, find the option to add a subscription, add a configuration, or import from a URL in the client. Paste the full link, save it, and update the configuration. When connecting for the first time, allow the VPN configuration when iOS prompts you and complete any required system confirmations. In the client, select a route and rules mode, then connect. The system status only confirms that a connection was established; check the routing behavior as described in the next section.
VPNVJ also supports Linux. For platform-specific steps, choose the Linux client in the panel and follow the guidance in the User Handbook. Whatever platform you use, get your subscription from your own account. You can connect an unlimited number of devices at the same time, but each device needs its own configuration import and connection setup.
Connect to a route and verify split tunneling
Update your subscription and select the current configuration, then choose a route that suits the site you want to access. Enable rules or split-tunneling mode. VPNVJ routes sites in mainland China directly and international sites through international routes. Split tunneling doesn’t mean every app must show the same exit IP. Check the rules that apply to each request to see which route it takes.
Once connected, use your browser to visit an international site you normally need. Check that it loads, you can sign in, and you can continue using it. Then open a site you regularly use in mainland China and make sure it still works. A “Connected” status in the client isn’t enough; confirm that requests to your target sites are being handled as expected.
To check your exit IP, use a trusted IP lookup site and confirm that the lookup request uses your selected route. If the lookup site is set to connect directly, seeing your local network’s exit IP doesn’t mean international sites are also connecting directly. You can also review the client’s connection logs or matched rules for a specific destination. Don’t publicly share screenshots containing your subscription URL or account details.
If your browser works but another app doesn’t, first check whether that app uses the system proxy. Some apps have their own proxy settings, so a browser test can’t confirm that all your software is routed. Before making further changes, note your current configuration, mode, and the app that’s having trouble. Then see the connection and advanced setup sections in the User Handbook to avoid disrupting other apps that work correctly.
If It Doesn’t Work, Retrace the Steps
Start in the panel: check your plan status and remaining data, then confirm that the client updated your subscription. If there’s no route list, check the import step first. If routes appear but sites won’t load, make sure the current configuration is enabled and system proxy settings or connection permissions are in place. Once the basics check out, try another route without changing anything else so you can compare the results.
If the issue persists, open a support ticket in the panel. Include your platform, the error shown in the client, the site you’re trying to reach, and the steps you’ve already tried. Don’t include your subscription link or password. The exact error message is more useful for troubleshooting than “it won’t connect.”
You’re all set when the client can update your subscription, your target international sites work, and sites in mainland China still load normally. Keep the working configuration for everyday use and troubleshoot individual settings if something goes wrong. There’s no need to keep changing advanced options.
For long-term maintenance, route selection, and more on split-tunneling rules, continue to the complete User Handbook. For account or order issues, submit a request through the support ticket section in the panel.
