Client interfaces, menu labels, and import methods vary. This guide uses familiar terms such as “subscription,” “configuration,” and “import from link” to describe where to look. Follow the client-specific instructions in the user panel. If the labels differ, look for the equivalent function rather than copying settings from another client.
Create an account: username and password
Use the “Start Free” link below to open the account creation page in the user panel. MeveVPN doesn't require an email address; get started with a username and password. Enter a username as prompted and set a unique password. If the page asks you to enter it twice, make sure both entries match before submitting. Don't reuse a password from another important account or save it in a public note or screenshot.
When you're done, follow the prompts to open the account overview. Make sure it shows the account you just created before choosing a plan. If the panel doesn't open automatically, select “Log in” in the navigation and enter the username and password you just set. Whether to save the password in your browser is up to you. Avoid saving account credentials on shared devices, and log out of the panel when you're finished.
Your account manages orders, plans, subscriptions, and support tickets; creating one doesn't connect a client to a route. “Start Free” is the link to the user panel. Check the panel for your current access status; this guide doesn't promise a trial allowance or duration. Once you're in the panel, the next step is to compare plans—not to look for an installer.
Choose a plan: understand how data is billed
Open the plans page in the user panel and first decide between a monthly plan and a data package. Monthly plans suit ongoing use. Current options are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Don't choose based on device count alone: this service allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but usage across multiple devices still depends on the data remaining in your account. Video streaming, file transfers, and apps used for long periods generally consume more data than brief web browsing.
Monthly plan data resets each month on the date your plan starts, not on the first day of the calendar month. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days; review the settlement details shown in the panel before confirming. If your usage is less regular, consider a data package: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, or ¥658/3000GB. Each lasts until used and never expires. These products use different billing models, so don't mistake a data package for a monthly plan with a recurring data allowance.
Once you've chosen a plan, check its name, price, data allowance, and billing terms, then create an order through the panel. Pay using Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT via the corresponding payment option. After payment, return to the account overview and confirm that the order and plan status have updated. If they haven't, check the existing order before placing another. For help, describe the order through the support ticket section in the panel.
MeveVPN offers a 7-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for details. This guide covers only the billing information you need to get started. For a full comparison, read the plans page first, then return to the panel when you're ready. Once your plan is active, move on to getting your subscription.
Get your subscription: copy it from the account overview
Return to the account overview and find the subscription details or client import section. A subscription link is an address a client uses to retrieve its configuration—not the service homepage or a payment link. The client uses it to load the routes and configuration associated with your account. Copy it using the option provided in the panel; don't mistake the account overview URL in your browser's address bar for your subscription link.
If the panel offers an import button for your client, use that option to continue. Your browser may ask to open an external app; check that it's the client you intend to use before allowing the redirect. If there's no automatic import option, copy the subscription and paste it into the subscription or configuration section of the client. Configuration formats vary between clients, so follow the relevant instructions in the panel instead of importing the same configuration file into an incompatible app.
If you need to check the copied text, make sure the link is complete and has no extra spaces or line breaks at either end. Don't share the credentials it contains. The example below is a fake URL to illustrate the format; it won't connect and isn't a real MeveVPN subscription. For setup, use the link you get after signing in.
https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKENYour subscription link is an account credential. Don't post it in group chats, public code repositories, or online configuration converters. If you share a screenshot, hide the entire link. If you think someone else has accessed it, check whether the panel offers a reset option or contact support through a ticket, then update the subscription on your devices. Once you've copied the link, get the client for your platform from the panel.
Import into a client: instructions by platform
The client and subscription have different jobs: the client establishes a connection on your device, while the subscription provides its configuration. Sign in to the user panel and choose your platform on the client page. The panel determines access based on your plan status. This guide doesn't provide direct installer downloads. Use the client and instructions provided in the panel where possible. If you use another app, first confirm that it supports the subscription's configuration format; “supports VPN” alone doesn't guarantee compatibility.
Windows: add a subscription in configuration management
Open the Windows desktop client link provided in the panel, follow its installation instructions, and launch the app. Desktop clients that support subscription imports usually place the option under “Configuration” or “Subscription Management.” Open that section, choose to add or import from a link, and paste the subscription you copied into the address field. Give the configuration a recognizable name, then save it and fetch the configuration.
After saving, check that the configuration appears in the list and that its routes are visible. Some apps require you to select the configuration before using it, so don't stop at an “Added successfully” message. Enable the new configuration, then open the route selection page. If the system asks for permission to connect, follow the panel's instructions. See the complete guide for the difference between system proxy and tunnel modes. Don't enable connections in multiple apps at the same time.
macOS: import the subscription and enable its configuration
Get the app from the macOS client link in the panel and follow the relevant installation instructions. Once it's open, look for a configuration list, subscription management, or an import-from-URL option. If you use the panel's automatic import button, make sure the system opens the intended client. For manual import, paste the full subscription link, save it, and fetch or refresh the configuration. Wait for the routes to appear in the list.
Next, set the newly imported configuration as the active one. Seeing a client icon in the menu bar doesn't mean your traffic is using that configuration. The first time you connect, macOS may ask you to allow network configuration or related permissions. Check the app name and follow the instructions. If the configuration is present but the route list is empty, first check whether the subscription was fetched successfully, then address connection permissions. Avoid repeatedly reinstalling the app.
Android: add a subscription and grant network access
Open the Android client link in the panel, install the app, and launch it. Clients that support subscriptions usually offer an import-from-link option under “Configuration” or “Subscription,” or in the add button's menu. Select it, paste in your account subscription, save it, and fetch the configuration. Return to the configuration list, make sure the new entry is selected, then open the route page and choose an exit location.
The first time you connect, Android may show a system prompt to set up a VPN connection. Check that the request is from the client you're using, then allow the connection. System permissions and fetching the subscription are separate steps. If routes are listed but you can't connect, check the connection permission and app prompts. If no routes appear, first check the subscription link and fetch status. If the connection changes when the app moves to the background, review the system's background activity settings for that app.
iOS: follow the panel's import instructions
Select iOS on the panel's client page and follow the instructions to get the app and configure it. An iOS client may open from a button in the panel, or require you to add the link manually in the app's configuration or subscription section. For automatic import, confirm the prompt to open the app. For manual import, paste the subscription into the URL or subscription address field, not the route server address field.
Once the configuration is saved and fetched, select the relevant subscription and route. The first time you connect, iOS may ask to add a VPN configuration and confirm authorization through a system prompt. Return to the client and enable the connection, then verify your exit route as described in the next section. A VPN icon in the status bar only indicates that the system shows a connection state; it doesn't prove that every app is using the intended route or replace an exit check.
Linux: follow the client instructions in the panel
MeveVPN also supports Linux. Select the relevant platform in the panel and confirm how to get the client and which configuration format it uses before importing. Network handling varies across desktop environments and clients, so this guide doesn't provide generic terminal commands that could lead you to apply unsuitable settings. For more on routing and runtime permissions, read the complete guide.
Verify your connection: check your actual exit route
Select the imported configuration in your client, choose a route suited to your destination, and turn on the connection. For your first test, choose an exit location and keep the configuration unchanged while you verify it. Don't change the route, mode, and system settings all at once. See the route list for guidance on choosing a route. Performance can vary by network, so a location name alone isn't enough to predict the result.
In a browser, check your actual public IP and its location. Compare the results before and after connecting, and confirm they match the exit location you selected. Split tunneling can send different requests through different routes, so make sure the test page itself uses the intended route. If that request is set to bypass the tunnel, an unchanged IP doesn't necessarily mean the client failed to connect. Next, open the app you actually want to use and make a fresh request. Check that pages load, sign-in works, or playback starts—don't test only in a browser.
Next, check the DNS request route. The location of the DNS resolver shown by a test may differ from the exit city; assess the result using the client's DNS settings and the test's guidance rather than assuming a difference means something is wrong. If a request isn't using the intended tunnel, first check that the current configuration is enabled, the app isn't set to connect directly, and system network permissions are in place. For step-by-step instructions, read the guide to checking your exit IP and DNS.
If you can't access a service, first check your plan status and remaining data, then see whether the subscription updates correctly. Next, check the selected route and connection mode. Change one thing at a time and retest the same destination to make it easier to identify the cause. If the client says “Connected” but the service won't load, note the error and what you were doing when it occurred. When contacting support, include your device platform, selected location, and error message—but never your password or full subscription link.
Once verification succeeds, keep the working configuration and check your plan status and remaining data in the panel from time to time. If the route list changes, refresh your subscription in the client; don't confuse a subscription refresh with a plan renewal. For information on automatic updates, renewals, advanced split tunneling, or more detailed troubleshooting, read the complete guide. If you're just switching devices, return to the client import steps on this page.
You're all set when your plan is active in the panel, the client has loaded and enabled the subscription, and requests to your destination use the expected exit route. Successful installation, a populated route list, and an enabled connection toggle are each only one part of the process.
