Quick Subscription Setup

ACCOUNT

Create an account and open the panel

Start by opening the 74VPN account page. Registration only requires a username and password; no email address is required. Use a combination that is not easily confused with credentials for other sites, and save it in a trusted password manager. After submitting, you will enter the user panel. If the page remains on the login screen, sign in with the username and password you just set.

After entering the panel, confirm that the current account appears at the top of the page or in the account overview. Do not import a client yet: until you choose an available plan, the subscription section may not contain the complete route configuration. Next, open the plans section and choose according to your actual data usage. The account can be used on unlimited devices, but each device should obtain the current subscription from the same account panel to avoid keeping outdated configurations from unknown sources.

PLAN

Choose a plan and complete your order

After opening the plans section in the user panel, you will see two billing options: monthly subscriptions and data packages. Monthly subscriptions include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB; data resets monthly on the activation date. Data packages remain available until used and never expire: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. For regular, continuous use, compare monthly subscriptions first. If your usage is irregular and you want to keep unused data for later, compare the data packages.

Select the tier you need, and the order page will show the plan name, data allowance, and amount due. Check the details, then pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. Do not create the same order repeatedly during payment. If the page has not updated after payment, return to the order page or account overview to check the status. When upgrading a monthly subscription mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated against the remaining days, so review the order details shown in the panel before upgrading.

74VPN offers a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund. Choose a plan based on your actual usage; there is no need to spend more in advance simply for a higher tier. To compare monthly subscriptions and data packages, read the plans page first, then return to the panel to make your choice.

SUBSCRIPTION

Get your subscription from the account overview

Once payment is confirmed, open the account overview in the user panel. The subscription section provides import options for the current account. A subscription is not a server configuration that must be entered item by item; it is the source from which the client obtains the route list. Prefer the copy or one-click import option provided by the panel. If your client only supports manual entry, copy the subscription URL and paste it into the client’s subscription manager.

When copying the URL, keep it complete from beginning to end. Do not split it across lines or add spaces before or after it. This guide does not display a real subscription URL. When a format example is needed, only use an obvious sample value, such as:

https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN

A sample URL cannot be used to connect. Get the real URL only from the signed-in user panel, and do not paste it into public posts, screenshots, or shared documents. The subscription contains the route configurations available to the current account. After a plan or route changes, select “Update Subscription” in the client to retrieve the new configuration; there is no need to create the account again.

If the account overview shows a subscription but the client reports an unrecognized format during import, first check whether the selected client type matches the import method provided by the panel. Do not repeatedly edit the URL. Visit the help center for client compatibility issues, or read the full user manual to learn how subscription formats and updates work.

DESKTOP CLIENTS

Import into Windows and macOS clients

Linux is also supported. Because desktop environments and client interfaces vary widely, this page does not cover command or configuration-file details. See the corresponding section in the full user manual.

ANDROID

Import into an Android client

Sign in to the user panel on your Android device, open the client downloads section, and follow the panel’s instructions to get the compatible client. After installing and opening it, look for the add entry on the home screen, in the side menu, or on the configuration page. Choose Add from Link, Remote Configuration, or Subscription Import, then paste the subscription URL from the account overview. Save it and manually update once until route names appear in the list.

Choose the route you need, then turn on the connection switch. The first time this type of connection is established, Android displays a network connection permission notice. Confirm it so the client can handle traffic that should follow the route. Keep the client allowed to run in the background. If the system stops the connection soon after you switch apps, review the device’s background activity settings for the client instead of repeatedly changing routes.

After importing, you do not need to create a separate configuration for every route. The subscription maintains the route collection. To change regions, choose another route from the existing list; when route information changes, select Update Subscription. If inactive old entries remain after updating, delete the old local configuration first and read the same subscription again. Detailed handling is covered in the connection troubleshooting section of the help center.

IOS

Import into an iOS client

Sign in to the user panel in the browser on your iOS device and open the client downloads section to see the current compatible option. Open the corresponding client, find Subscription, Remote Configuration, or Add from Link, then paste and save the subscription URL copied from the account overview. Some clients also support one-click import from the panel. Whichever method you use, the client should ultimately show the added subscription and the updated route list.

When you choose a route and start connecting, iOS will ask you to allow the client to add a network configuration. Confirm through the system flow, return to the client, and wait for the status to show Connected. Then switch to the browser to verify the exit connection. If the client shows that the subscription was added but the route list has not changed, pull to refresh or select Update. Do not create multiple subscriptions with the same name, or it will be difficult to tell which configuration is active.

When using multiple Apple devices, obtain the subscription from the user panel and import it separately on each device. There is no device limit, but connection status is not synchronized between local clients. You do not need to delete the subscription on another device before switching; simply verify the selected route and connection status on each device.

VERIFY

Connect and verify that it works

After the client shows Connected, do not immediately start a long-running task. Open an IP checking page and record the exit IP and associated region, then compare them with the results from before connecting. If the exit information has changed and matches the region of the selected route, browser traffic is following the current route. 74VPN provides a standalone IP checking tool for this check.

Next, check DNS resolution. If the exit IP has changed but DNS still follows the original network path, some websites may detect an inconsistent region. Follow the instructions on the IP checking page to review the DNS results, then fully quit and reopen the applications that need the connection. Applications started before connecting may temporarily retain their old connection, so restarting them is more effective than simply refreshing a page.

Finally, verify the applications you actually need. Open the relevant websites or services one by one and confirm that sign-in, page loading, and ongoing requests work normally. Do not change the client, route, and application settings at the same time; change only one variable when troubleshooting. First switch to another route in the same region and verify the exit IP again. If every route behaves the same way, consult the connection and troubleshooting categories in the help center.

ROUTINE

Keep your subscription and routes available

You do not need to import the subscription repeatedly for everyday use. Keep the existing configuration in the client and update it from Subscription Manager only when you need to see new routes or correct outdated ones. Before switching routes, check whether the current task is still uploading, downloading, or maintaining a session. Disconnect intentionally before choosing another route to reduce the chance that an application keeps using the old connection.

Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date, while data packages remain available until used and never expire. Check the current plan and data status in the account overview. Before starting a long download, watching high-bitrate content, or running an extended network task, check the remaining data so you do not mistake plan status for a route problem.

This page completes the basic workflow. For route types, traffic-splitting logic, subscription update principles, cross-platform migration, and systematic troubleshooting, continue with the complete guide from beginner to advanced. For a single issue, go directly to the help center and search by account, connection, speed, or billing instead of repeating the entire setup process.
