4MVPN Setup Guide

Click “Start Free” below to open the 4MVPN user dashboard. Follow the prompts to create an account with a username and password; no email address is required. Use the username to sign in later, so choose one you can recognize. Use a unique password and store it safely in a password manager. This is your service account, not a local client configuration. You’ll use it to view orders, get your subscription, and contact support.

After submitting the form, follow the dashboard prompts to open your account area. If the username is unavailable, change it and try again. If you already have an account, sign in with your existing details; there’s no need to create another account for a different device. Before leaving the page, make sure you’ve saved your login details. A subscription link is not a login credential; the two serve different purposes.

After signing in, take a moment to find Account Overview, plans, and client downloads. Creating an account does not activate a plan or connect a client. Next, choose a plan that suits your usage and complete the order before getting your subscription. You can download and install a client ahead of time, but check your account’s service status before connecting.

Start Free

Open the plans section in the user dashboard. First, decide between a monthly subscription and a data plan, then choose a tier. Monthly subscriptions suit ongoing use: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. Choose based on how you use the service: browsing and text-based tools use data differently from extended video streaming. Device count alone isn’t a good way to estimate usage.

Data plans suit occasional or irregular use: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. Data lasts until used and never expires. The difference from a monthly subscription is how long you can use the data, not which devices are supported. All plans allow unlimited simultaneous devices. Devices sharing one subscription use data from the same plan, and adding devices does not increase its data allowance.

Before paying, check the plan name, amount, and billing terms on the order. Then use the Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT option provided in the dashboard. Keep the order page open during payment, then return to the dashboard to check the status. If it hasn’t updated, refresh the order or reopen Account Overview to check again. Don’t pay twice just because the page hasn’t changed yet. If you need help, contact support through a dashboard ticket and provide your order details; never share your password.

4MVPN offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund policy. See the refund policy for how to request one. If you upgrade a monthly subscription mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days; review the result shown in the dashboard before submitting. To compare tiers side by side, visit the plan pricing page, then return to the dashboard to continue.

Choose This Plan

Once your order is complete, open Account Overview in the user dashboard. Check your plan status and remaining data, then find the subscription or client import section. The subscription link lets a client retrieve server configurations; it is not a regular website address or an installer. Pasting it into a browser’s address bar won’t import it into your client.

If the dashboard provides an import option for your installed client, open the client first, then click the option and approve the system prompt to open the app. Return to the client and check that the new subscription configuration appears. If the browser doesn’t respond, the system can’t find the app, or the import option doesn’t match your client, copy the link and import it manually. There’s no need to create another account.

For a manual import, copy the subscription link from the dashboard, then switch to your client and add it there. Clear any existing text from the input field before pasting, and make sure you haven’t included instructions, line breaks, or extra spaces. This guide doesn’t show real subscription links. Always get yours from your own account; don’t use links found in article comments, chat logs, or someone else’s screenshot.

A subscription link may contain account access credentials, so treat it as sensitive information. Don’t put it in public documents, code repositories, or screenshots, and don’t submit it to untrusted online conversion tools. When contacting support, share the error message and steps you’ve already tried, and redact the subscription details. Once you have the link, keep the dashboard handy and continue by installing and importing a client for your device.

Open Account Overview

Get the right platform link from the client downloads section in the user dashboard, then choose a client as instructed. Sign-in is enough to download on Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux; the iOS download option requires an active plan. Downloading and getting a subscription are separate steps. After installation, import your own active subscription before selecting a server and connecting.

On every platform, use a network client that supports subscription imports. If the dashboard lists multiple compatible options, follow its current import instructions. Don’t mix configuration formats between clients. The steps below focus on where to find each feature. Names may change with client updates, but the sequence remains the same: add the subscription, update the configuration, and select a server.

Windows: Add a Remote Subscription

Choose the Windows client in the dashboard, install it, and launch it. If Windows asks whether to allow the app to run, first check that you downloaded it from the link provided in the dashboard. In the client, open “Subscription,” “Configuration,” or a similar management section. Look for “Add,” “Import from link,” or “Remote configuration,” then paste the subscription link into the address field. Give the configuration a recognizable name if you like, save it, and update it.

After a successful update, the new entry should appear in the configuration list, with server names in the server selection area. Select the configuration, choose a server, then enable the connection or system proxy as instructed by the client. Importing a configuration alone won’t normally change your browser’s network route; you also need to connect. If the list is empty, check the configuration section for update errors instead of repeatedly toggling the connection.

macOS: Import and Check System Permissions

Choose the macOS client in the dashboard and install it as instructed. On first launch, open the subscription or configuration management section. Use the matching import option in the dashboard to open the app, or add a remote subscription, paste the link, and save it. Update the configuration, check that the server list has loaded, then set it as the active configuration.

When you connect for the first time, macOS may ask you to approve network-related permissions. Read the prompt and allow it only after confirming it’s from the client you’re using. If you previously denied access, follow the system instructions to review the setting. Don’t disable system security to skip authorization. Once the client shows as connected, open the target website to verify access; a menu bar icon alone doesn’t confirm that traffic is using the selected server.

Android: Import a Subscription and Allow the Connection

Sign in to the dashboard to get the Android client. Install it as prompted by the system, then open it. Go to the subscription or configuration page, add a remote configuration, paste the subscription link from the dashboard, and save it. If you use the dashboard’s app import option, choose the installed client that matches the option when prompted. Update the configuration and confirm that the server list appears before connecting.

Select a configuration and server, then tap Connect. The first time Android establishes a VPN connection, it displays a system permission prompt; check the app name and allow it. If another app is already using the VPN connection, pause it before testing to prevent the connections from replacing each other. If the connection works in the foreground but drops easily when the screen is locked, check the system’s background activity and battery restrictions for the client. Settings vary by device; follow the system’s instructions.

iOS: Get the Client from the Dashboard

First, confirm that your plan is active in the user dashboard. Then open the iOS client download option and follow the dashboard’s instructions to get the app from the App Store. After installation, return to the dashboard and use the matching import option. If you need to add it manually, find the subscription, configuration, or URL import feature in the client, paste the link, and update it. Use the app and instructions currently provided in the dashboard; don’t copy app names or menu paths from guides for other platforms.

Once the configuration has loaded, select a server, connect, and approve the VPN configuration request shown by iOS. If the connection switch is on but access hasn’t changed, check that the newly imported subscription is selected and that no other network configuration is active. You don’t need to download the app again to refresh the server list. Usually, you can update it in subscription management, then return to the server selection page to check the result.

Linux and Further Configuration

Linux users should also get a client from the dashboard and follow the instructions provided for their system to install and import it. This guide doesn’t cover additional setup for command-line tools, IDE plugins, API calls, or more granular app routing. Once the basic connection works, see the AI Tools guide for checking network settings in your target app. Avoid changing multiple layers of configuration during your first connection.

Once the server list appears, choose an exit region based on the target service’s requirements, rather than picking a familiar-sounding name. For example, try a US server when checking access to AI tools, or a Japan server for content available in Japan. Region is only one factor: the service may also consider your account, authorization, and network environment. A successful client connection doesn’t guarantee that every service will allow access.

After connecting, check that the client isn’t reporting a configuration update or connection error. Open a familiar international website and see whether the page loads fully and its links open. Then visit the specific tool or streaming service you want to use and test sign-in and its key features. If text appears but requests keep timing out, or the homepage loads but playback fails, troubleshoot the actual symptom. Seeing the homepage isn’t a complete test.

If access fails, check in order that your plan is active, data is available, the subscription updated successfully, and the right configuration and server are selected. Then check the client’s connection switch and system permissions. If needed, turn off other network proxies and try again. Change one setting at a time and note the result to tell whether the issue is with your local connection, a particular server, or the target service’s regional or account restrictions.

To switch servers, choose another one suited to the same purpose, then reopen the target page and test again. Don’t keep switching regions during a sign-in verification. For AI tools, the exit region and session continuity are especially worth checking. For differences between web apps, APIs, and developer tools, see the AI Tools guide. For server types and choosing a region, visit the global servers page.

If the issue persists, open a support ticket in the dashboard. Include your device platform, client name, selected server, exact error, and steps you’ve already tried. Before attaching screenshots, hide your subscription link and other sensitive account details. Once the connection works, keep an eye on your plan status, remaining data, and configuration updates; you don’t need to import the subscription again every time you use the service.
