Before you start

Confirm the setup path first

For first-time use, prepare a memorable username, a unique password, and a payment method for your plan. VPN TX supports Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT. No email address is required during account creation. Your username and password are the main credentials for entering the user panel, so save them somewhere reliable. Avoid passwords that could be confused with those used on other sites, and never give the same credentials to an untrusted third party for setup.

This page follows one consistent path: make the account and plan active first, get the subscription from Account Overview, and only then open the client. This reduces common misdiagnoses. For example, when a plan is not yet active, a client may save the subscription entry successfully but still be unable to retrieve usable routes. Skipping the panel status check can easily make an account issue look like a client failure.

If you have completed part of the process, use the step bar above to jump ahead. For differences between Shadowsocks, VMess, Trojan, VLESS, Hysteria2, TUIC, direct routes, relays, and dedicated routes, read Protocol & Route Technical Reference. This page covers only the actions needed for a first connection, not protocol selection or networking theory.

Account

Create an account

Open the VPN TX account creation page, enter the username you prepared, set a password, and confirm it. An email address is not required, so there is no need to leave the page to check your inbox. Before submitting, make sure the username is easy to recognize and both password entries match. After completion, the page will open the user panel or prompt you to sign in with your new credentials.

After entering the panel, first check that Account Overview displays normally. A new account without an active plan may show a prompt to choose a plan in the data and subscription sections; this is expected. Do not copy anything from the browser address bar, and do not mistake the panel URL for a subscription. The actual subscription entry appears in Account Overview after the plan becomes active and is clearly labeled by the panel.

If the registration form remains on the same page after submission, check the username format, password confirmation, and the field guidance shown on the page. Do not submit the same form repeatedly in quick succession, as it becomes difficult to tell which attempt succeeded. If your new credentials already let you enter the panel, account creation is complete and you can continue to plan selection.

Plans

Choose a plan and place an order

After opening the plans section from the user panel, decide whether your usage is closer to “ongoing monthly use” or “use over time from a fixed allowance.” Monthly subscriptions include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. If you need continuous service with relatively consistent monthly usage, choose a monthly plan based on the allowance you need.

For less predictable usage, consider data packages that remain valid until used and never expire: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. Data packages and monthly subscriptions are calculated differently. Before ordering, check the card title, total allowance, and price rather than comparing numbers alone. All plans support unlimited simultaneous devices, but multiple devices share the data allowance of the same account.

On the order confirmation page, review the plan name, price, and allowance again, then pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. After payment, return to the user panel. Do not rely only on the payment result to decide whether the configuration is ready to import; use the plan status shown in Account Overview. When upgrading a monthly subscription mid-term, the price difference is converted based on the remaining days. The order confirmation and panel display are authoritative.

VPN TX offers 30-day no-questions-asked refunds. If you still have questions about plan selection, payment status, or the order result, review the “Account & Subscription” and “Billing & Refunds” sections in the Help Center before repeating any action. Avoid placing multiple orders for the same purchase so the details remain easier to verify.

Choose a plan

After payment, return to Account Overview and confirm that the plan is active.

CH-03

Subscription

Get your subscription from the panel

Once the plan is active, open Account Overview in the user panel. Find the subscription details, quick-import, or client access section, then copy the subscription or invoke client import for your platform. The subscription lets the client retrieve the route list and future updates; it is not an ordinary webpage URL or an account login page. Use the panel’s copy button to avoid missing characters at either end.

To identify the format, treat the obvious placeholder https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN as a structural example: the first part is the service address and the second part identifies the associated account. This example cannot connect and does not belong to VPN TX. In actual use, only import the subscription displayed in the user panel after login. Do not rewrite the example or obtain a supposed shared subscription from search results or forwarded messages.

After copying, there is no need to open the subscription in a browser for verification. Go directly to subscription management in the client, paste it, and let the client update. Treat the subscription as account configuration and protect it like a password. Sharing it allows others to consume the account’s data and makes later troubleshooting more difficult.

If Account Overview still shows no subscription entry, refresh the panel and check the plan status. If the order is processing, wait for the status to update instead of repeatedly adding an empty configuration in the client. If the order is complete but the overview has not changed, submit the order details and page status through the panel’s support ticket entry; do not provide your password.

Open Account Overview

Subscriptions are available only from the logged-in user panel; this page does not provide a static subscription URL.

CH-04

Clients

Import a client for your platform

WIN

PLATFORM / WINDOWS

Windows

Start with a Windows client that supports subscription management. Use the client download entry in the user panel rather than downloading a file with the same name from an unknown page. After installing and opening it, look for “Subscription,” “Configuration Management,” or “Remote Configuration” in the sidebar, top menu, or settings. Add a new subscription and paste the complete content copied from Account Overview into the URL field. You can name it “VPN TX” for easy identification.

Save it, then click Update, Refresh, or Sync. When the regional route list appears, the client has read the subscription successfully. Choose a route near your destination, then enable the system proxy or connection switch. On first launch, the system may request network access confirmation; check the application name and source before continuing through the client’s normal flow. If the list is empty, recopy the subscription and update it before changing protocol settings.

MAC

PLATFORM / macOS

macOS

On macOS, use a client that supports subscription imports as well. Open the client download section from the user panel, install the application, and launch it. From the menu bar icon, configuration page, or subscription management section, choose Add Remote Configuration. Paste the complete subscription content from Account Overview and save it. Then update the configuration and wait for the client to generate the available routes.

When starting the connection for the first time, macOS may ask you to allow a network configuration or enter the current device’s system authorization details. This allows the client to manage the network connection; it is not a VPN TX account login. After granting system permission, return to the client, choose a regional route, and connect. If the menu bar status changes but the target service remains unavailable, switch to another route in the same region and check whether the client is using the expected Global, Rule, or Auto Select mode.

AND

PLATFORM / ANDROID

Android

On Android, open a client that supports subscription imports and go to its configuration or subscription management page. Some clients place the add button in a plus menu at the top right, while others put it in the sidebar. Choose Import from URL or Add Subscription, paste the complete content provided by the panel, save it, and tap Update. When routes appear, choose the target region and return to the main screen to connect.

When the system establishes the connection for the first time, it will display a network-connection permission prompt. The client cannot work until you confirm it. If the connection drops after switching networks, stop the current connection in the client and start it again. If the route list has not updated for a long time, manually refresh it under subscription management. Power-saving policies may limit background connections; if the connection drops after the screen locks, check the app’s background-running settings. Device manufacturers place these options differently, so see the Help Center for the relevant troubleshooting order.

IOS

PLATFORM / iOS

iOS

On iOS, use a network client that supports subscription imports. Check the user panel for the applicable access method and instructions, then find the Subscription, Configuration, or Add from URL option in the client. Paste and save the subscription copied from Account Overview, then update it. Once the client lists regional routes, choose one and return to the main connection screen.

On first launch, iOS will ask for permission to add a network configuration. After confirming, the connection status appears in the status bar or system settings. If importing does not return you to the client, open it manually and check the subscription list. If the subscription is already there, do not add it again; just update it. App Store regions, client availability, and import methods may change, so always use the current access entry shown in the user panel rather than a static installation URL.

CH-05

Connection

Connect and verify it works

For your first connection, there is no need to compare every route in a long list. Choose a region based on the destination: use a Japan route for services in Japan and a Singapore route for services in Singapore. When the destination has no clear regional requirement, start with a geographically nearby route. Connect, wait for the client status to show Connected, then open a browser or the target app to verify access.

Verify in two layers. First, open a commonly used webpage to confirm that basic network access has not been affected by the client configuration. Second, open the service you actually need and confirm that its region and session state are as expected. Do not judge the result solely by the client switch color: “Connected” means the local tunnel is established, while service availability can also depend on the route region, existing login session, and app cache.

If ordinary webpages work but one target service does not, switch to another route in the same region and reopen the target app. If necessary, sign out of the target service’s old session and try again. If no webpage is accessible, stop the connection, update the subscription, switch routes, reconnect, and confirm that the device time is accurate. This order separates subscription expiry, route changes, and local-state issues one by one.

If the connection still cannot be completed, do not change several advanced options at once. Keep the client name, system type, selected route, and error message, then check the “Connection & Troubleshooting” section in the Help Center. For packet loss, peak-hour congestion, route topology, or protocol resource usage, continue to the Technical Reference so unnecessary parameters do not interrupt first-time setup.

CHECK A Subscription updated

The client displays the current route list.

CHECK B Route selected

The region broadly matches the destination.

CHECK C Destination accessible

Complete the final check using the actual service.

After setup

Keep a reusable routine

After your first connection, everyday use usually means opening the client, choosing a route, and connecting. The subscription provides the route list, so use the client’s update function regularly instead of repeatedly deleting and adding the subscription. When changing devices, sign in to the VPN TX user panel again to get the current subscription. Simultaneous devices are unlimited, but all devices share the plan allowance assigned to the same account.

Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. Data packages remain valid until used and never expire. Check Account Overview in the user panel for remaining data, plan status, or order details; do not treat the client’s local cache as the final source of truth. If the client has not updated for a long time, route names or statuses may lag behind the panel, so syncing the subscription first is usually the most effective troubleshooting step.

Keep route selection simple: choose a region based on the destination, then switch routes within that region if conditions fluctuate. Read deeper protocol documentation only when you need to compare connection methods, mobile battery behavior, or route topology. After completing this page, see Global Locations for regional coverage, or read the Protocol & Route Technical Reference to build a more systematic route-selection approach.
