Create an Account and Save Your Login Details
Open the MeiVPN user dashboard using the “Free Trial” link below. Create an account with a username and password—no email address required. Choose a username you’ll recognize, and use a password manager to generate and save a unique password. Check your entries before submitting, especially for spaces accidentally copied with the password.
When you're done, follow the page instructions to open the user dashboard. If you're already signed in, check that the account shown is the username you intend to use before choosing a plan. A browser remembering your login doesn't mean your credentials are safely stored. Before closing the page, make sure your password manager has the username and password saved.
Your account manages orders, subscriptions, and support tickets; the client configuration establishes the network connection. They serve different purposes. When importing later, use the subscription option provided in the dashboard—don't paste your username and password into the client's link field. If you already have an account, use “Log in” in the navigation to keep your orders under one account.
The link text doesn't promise a set trial length or data allowance; check the dashboard for current details. Once your account is ready, review the billing options and choose what suits you.
Choose a Plan and Check Payment Status
Open the Plans section in your user dashboard and distinguish monthly plans from data packages. Monthly plans suit regular use: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly from the activation date, not on a shared calendar-month schedule. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Consider your everyday streaming, meetings, and file transfers—not just the price.
If your usage varies, consider a data package: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, or ¥658/3000GB. Data packages don't expire and remain available until used. Their billing works differently from monthly plans, so first decide whether you prefer a monthly allowance or a balance that decreases as you use it, then choose a tier.
Before paying, check the plan name, price, and billing method in your order, then follow the dashboard instructions. MeiVPN supports Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT; payment steps depend on the option you choose. After paying, return to the user dashboard and check that your order and subscription status have updated. A closed payment page or successful browser redirect doesn't confirm that payment has arrived.
If your order status hasn't changed yet, refresh the order section and make sure you're signed into the right account. Don't submit the same order repeatedly. If you need help, keep your order details and describe the issue in a dashboard support ticket. Never share your password or full subscription link. MeiVPN offers a 14-day refund policy; see the Terms of Service for the application rules.
Get Your Subscription and Keep It Secure
Once your subscription is active, open “Account Overview” in the user dashboard and find the subscription details or import section. The subscription link lets your client retrieve route configurations; it isn't a regular website URL. To import manually, copy the full link from the dashboard, then switch to your client.
If the dashboard offers a quick-import option, open the matching installed client and select Import. Your browser may ask for permission to open the app; check that it’s the client you intend to use before continuing. If nothing happens, copy the link and add it manually in the client instead of repeatedly clicking the quick-import option.
Your subscription link grants access to your configuration. Don't post it in public forums, shared documents, or unfamiliar testing sites, and don't send screenshots that show the full link. When asking for help with a screenshot, hide the address and account details, leaving only the error message and relevant part of the screen visible.
After copying the link, go to the downloads section to get a client. Each device generally needs its own installation, import, and authorization steps; unlimited devices doesn't mean every device connects automatically when you sign in in a browser. Linux is also supported, with its download link in the dashboard. This guide focuses on common desktop and mobile platforms.
Install and Import the Client for Your Platform
Start in the user dashboard downloads and choose the MeiVPN client for your device. Avoid installers from unknown sources. After signing in, you can get the client for Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux; the iOS download option requires an active subscription. Follow the dashboard instructions and the current client interface rather than relying on old screenshots. If labels differ, look for the equivalent feature.
Windows: Add a Subscription or Configuration
Use the Windows desktop client provided in the dashboard. Install and open it, then go to “Subscription” or “Configuration” and look for Add Configuration or Import from Link. Paste the full subscription link you copied into the address field. If you can name the configuration, choose a label you'll recognize; it only identifies the configuration locally and won't change your plan or routes.
Save the configuration, then update it or fetch its settings. Wait for the region and route list to appear, then set this configuration as active. If the list is empty, check that the link was copied in full and that your dashboard subscription is active. Don't enter server addresses manually. Keep the default connection mode for now; verify the connection first, then adjust routing rules if needed.
macOS: Import and Check System Permissions
Choose the macOS client in the dashboard downloads section, then install and launch it by following the prompts. Open the client's configuration manager, choose the option to add a subscription from a link, paste the dashboard URL, and refresh. Once the route list appears, select the configuration. Simply leaving the URL in a text field doesn't necessarily mean the routes have loaded.
When connecting, macOS may ask you to allow a network configuration or authorize a related network component. Check that the app named in the prompt is the client you just installed, then follow the system instructions. If you denied permission, check the relevant setting in System Settings rather than repeatedly deleting the configuration. For a step-by-step walkthrough from installation, see the macOS setup guide.
Android: Add Your Subscription and Allow the Connection
Get the Android client from the dashboard, install it, and open its subscription management or configuration page. Tap Add, choose Import from Link, paste the full subscription URL, save, and refresh. When importing for the first time, leave the URL unchanged. Watch for your keyboard replacing symbols or splitting the address across lines.
When the routes appear, choose a region and tap Connect. If Android asks for permission to establish a network connection, confirm that the prompt comes from your client and allow it. If the client shows a connection but often disconnects when you switch apps, check whether your system restricts background activity. Settings names vary by device, so follow the system prompts. Confirm the connection works before changing background settings.
iOS: Get and Add Your Configuration from the Dashboard
With an active subscription, open the dashboard downloads section and use the iOS client link to visit its App Store page. Check the app name before downloading it. If no download option appears, return to Account Overview and check your subscription status. Don't substitute an app with a similar name found through search for the client specified in the dashboard.
After installation, return to the dashboard and try quick import. To import manually, look in the client for Subscription Management, Add Configuration, or Import from Link. Once the configuration loads, choose a route and connect, then allow the client to add a VPN configuration when prompted. Follow your device's instructions for system confirmations. Don't enter your device passcode in the subscription link field.
Choose a Route and Confirm the Connection Works
Return to the client's route list and select an exit region that fits the service you want to use. For streaming, start with the region of the library you need. For work, choose a reliable route for the app you're using rather than judging by distance alone. IEPL, relay, and direct routes use different paths; the label alone can't tell you how they'll perform on your network.
After connecting, check that the client shows Connected and that no system permission prompt is still waiting. Reopen the site or app you want to use and try a real task, such as loading a page, playing content, or joining a meeting preview. Pages already open in your browser may show an old state, so refresh the page or reopen the app before judging the connection.
To check your exit region, look at the target service's sign-in activity, region notices, or content catalog. Make sure the app is covered by your client's routing rules. In rule mode, some local websites may still use your usual network; their appearance staying the same doesn't necessarily mean the connection failed. Avoid running multiple network clients of the same kind at once just to test.
If websites load but the content you want is still unavailable, check network access separately from your platform account permissions. Streaming libraries, account region, payment region, and platform rules can all affect availability; changing exit regions doesn't guarantee access to every title. For region selection and streaming restrictions, see the complete streaming guide. Check the server page for available routes.
Once the connection works, keep the current configuration and connect or disconnect as needed. If an issue comes up later, first check your subscription status and remaining data in the account, then update the client configuration and try a route suited to the service. If the problem persists, open a dashboard support ticket and include your device's operating system, the client message, selected region, and affected app. Don't include your password or full subscription link.
