Create an Account and Save Your Login Details
Start by opening the account creation page in the 7FVPN user dashboard. No email address is required; just choose a username and password as prompted. Pick a username that’s easy to recognize but doesn’t reveal sensitive personal information. Use a unique password that you don’t reuse on other sites. Review your details, then follow the dashboard prompts to create your account.
Once you’re in the dashboard, make sure your account overview loads before moving on. Save your login details in a trusted password manager, and remember the username you chose. Since an email address isn’t required to create an account, don’t mistake unsolicited emails for account notifications or rely on email as the default recovery method. For account help, use the support options actually available in the dashboard.
Your account, plan, and client serve different purposes. The account lets you sign in and manage orders; the plan determines your data allowance and billing terms; the client creates a connection on your device. Creating an account alone doesn’t connect your device to a route. Choose a plan first, then get your subscription from the account overview. There’s no need to enter server details manually in the client.
This button takes you to the user dashboard. Check the dashboard for current plan prices and benefits.
Choose a Plan and Review Your Order
After signing in, open the plans page and decide whether a monthly subscription or a data package better suits you. 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 ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They expire only when used up and never expire otherwise. If you use the service regularly, compare your monthly data needs with the subscription plans. If your usage is less predictable, consider a data package.
After choosing a plan, review the order carefully, including the plan name, price, data allowance, and billing terms. Note the difference: monthly plan data resets on the activation date, while a data package remains available until its data runs out. There’s no device limit, but that doesn’t mean data is unlimited; check the usage shown in your account if you use multiple devices. To compare options side by side, visit the pricing page.
Payment is supported through Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT. Choose your preferred method and follow the checkout instructions. When payment is complete, return to the dashboard and check the order status and plan details. If the payment app shows a completed payment but the dashboard hasn’t updated, refresh the order status and keep your payment receipt. Don’t pay again just because the page hasn’t changed. If you need help checking the status, open a ticket from the dashboard and include the order status.
Once your plan is active, get your subscription. 7FVPN offers a 60-day money-back guarantee; see the refund policy for application details. If you upgrade a monthly subscription mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Review the confirmation page in the dashboard before proceeding, and don’t rely on the original plan’s reset date to predict the outcome.
Get Your Subscription from the Account Overview
Open the account overview in the user dashboard and find the subscription or subscription import section. Check your current plan and data status before choosing an import method. If there’s a button that opens an installed client, try that first. If you haven’t installed a client yet, get one in the next section, then return here. If your browser asks whether to open an app, make sure it’s the client you intend to use.
If automatic import doesn’t open the client, copy the subscription link instead. Switch to the client, open subscription or configuration management, choose import from link, paste the full link, and save it. A subscription link isn’t a regular website login URL or a software download link. Don’t copy the address bar URL from the user dashboard, and never enter your login password in a subscription URL field.
Your subscription link contains account-related credentials, so keep it private like a password. Don’t post it in public forums or share screenshots that show the full link or its QR code. When asking for help, describe the client, operating system, error message, and step where the issue occurs. Hide the subscription link and other account details before sharing screenshots. If you think the link has been exposed, check whether the dashboard offers a reset option and follow its instructions.
After a successful import, the client usually shows a configuration name and a list of routes. If the configuration appears but the list is empty, update the subscription in the client, then check that your plan is active and the full link was pasted. If you’re still stuck, see connection and troubleshooting help. There’s no need to repeatedly delete your account or place another order.
Import a Client for Your Device
In the user dashboard, select your device platform in the downloads section and follow the instructions currently shown. This page doesn’t provide separate installer links. Clients for Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux are available after login, with no purchased plan required. Getting a client and getting a working subscription are separate steps. The iOS download entry requires a purchased, unexpired plan; check the dashboard for details.
For the simplest setup, use the subscription management client and import method offered in the dashboard. These clients read routes from your subscription, so you usually don’t need to enter a protocol, server address, or port yourself. If you already use another compatible client, follow the matching instructions in the dashboard. Don’t assume that any client can read the same subscription format just because its app icon looks similar.
Windows: Import a Configuration and Connect
In the dashboard’s downloads section, select Windows, follow the installation instructions, and open the client. Return to your account overview and try the import button for that client. If your browser asks whether to open an app, verify the target and continue. To import manually, open “Configuration” or “Subscription” in the client, add a link, paste the subscription you copied, and save it. Then update the subscription.
Once the route list appears, select the configuration you just imported, then open the proxy or route page and choose a node. If the client has a “System proxy” switch, make sure it’s enabled as instructed. Simply opening the app doesn’t mean your browser traffic is going through it. If you’re asked to authorize a network component or virtual adapter, follow the client guide. Don’t toggle every advanced option unless you know what it does.
macOS: Check the Configuration and Network Permissions
Select the macOS client in the dashboard and follow the installation instructions for your device and system. The first time you open it, macOS may ask you to confirm the app’s source or grant network permissions. Verify where the software came from before granting access. Then import from the user dashboard, or add the subscription link in the client’s configuration manager. After saving, make sure the configuration is selected, not just listed.
When you start a connection, read and approve any system prompt for network configuration. If the client asks you to allow a network extension in System Settings, follow the location it indicates, then return to the client and check its status. A menu bar icon only shows that the app is running; check the status in the app and test a real connection to confirm it’s connected. If other network tools are running, pause them before testing this configuration.
Android: Add a Subscription and Allow the Connection
Sign in to the dashboard, select Android, get the client provided there, and install it by following the system prompts. Open the app and look for “Subscription,” “Configuration,” or an add option. Choose import from link, paste the entire subscription, and save it. If you use one-tap import from the dashboard, make sure the browser actually opens the intended client and check that the configuration appears in the app. Don’t rely solely on the button response on the web page.
After updating the route list, select a configuration and route, then tap Connect. Android will ask for system permission to set up a network connection. Make sure the prompt is for the client you just installed before allowing it. If the connection drops when the app goes into the background, check whether the system restricts background activity and adjust the device’s battery settings as needed. Confirm that it works in the foreground first, then troubleshoot background issues.
iOS: Get and Import the Client from the Dashboard
First, make sure your account has a purchased, unexpired plan. Then open the iOS download entry in the dashboard and follow its instructions to get the client from the App Store. If the dashboard requires an active plan, return to the account overview and check your status. Don’t look for replacement installation files on unfamiliar websites. Once the app is installed, return to the dashboard and choose the matching subscription import method.
When your browser asks to open the client, confirm and check the subscription in the app. To add it manually, paste the link into the subscription or configuration section, save it, and update the route list. On the first connection, you’ll usually need to allow the app to add a VPN configuration and confirm as prompted by iOS. After the status bar shows a connection indicator, open the service you actually want to use and test it. The indicator alone doesn’t prove that every app is using the same route.
Linux: Choose a Compatible Setup Using the Dashboard Instructions
Linux users should start in the dashboard’s downloads section, install a client using the instructions currently provided, then import the subscription from the account overview. In graphical clients, add the link in configuration management; for other import methods, follow the dashboard documentation. Don’t copy server settings from unfamiliar guides or put subscription credentials in public scripts or code repositories. For details on permissions, desktop proxies, and terminal environments, see the route selection guide.
Choose a Route and Verify Your Connection
Once the subscription is imported, choose a route based on what you want to access. Accessing services in mainland China and using international services require different routes. Read the route names and dashboard notes, then choose one that matches your destination. For your first connection, keep the client’s recommended default routing settings; there’s no need to change the protocol, DNS, and routing rules all at once. Once connected, you can compare the differences between IEPL, relayed, and direct routes.
Tap Connect and make sure the client shows a connected status, then open the website or app you want to use. Check that the page loads fully and try a real action, such as playing content or sending a normal request. Loading a homepage alone doesn’t confirm that playback, sign-in, or other features will work. Streaming and AI tools may also depend on your account region, service policies, and platform status; a network connection can’t replace those requirements.
Use the IP lookup tool on this site to check the browser’s current exit IP. Interpret the result in light of your client’s mode: rule-based routing may send some websites over your local connection and others over the selected route, so the lookup may not reflect every app’s path. To check a particular app, rely on its actual behavior and the corresponding connection logs in your client. Avoid repeatedly changing settings based only on the exit region.
If the client says it’s connected but the service still doesn’t work, first make sure the selected configuration uses the subscription you just updated. Then try another route for the same purpose. Change one setting at a time and test again so you can tell what made a difference. If regular websites won’t load either, disconnect the client to confirm your local network works, then check the system proxy, connection permissions, and subscription status. For a full troubleshooting sequence, see connection help.
For future sessions, you’ll usually just need to open the client, check that the subscription is up to date, and connect to a route. After changing your plan or routes, update the subscription and check the selected configuration. To use another device, sign in to the same account and get the client for that platform. There’s no device limit, but each device needs its own import and system permissions. If problems persist, use the user dashboard support ticket to share your system, client name, error message, and steps you’ve tried. Include relevant details, but hide your subscription credentials.
