Import Your Subscription and Connect
Follow the steps in order: account, plan, subscription, client, and verification. Skip anything you’ve already completed. If this is your first time, check your account and plan status before setting up the client connection.
Create an account and save your login details
K6VPN does not require an email address. Create an account with a username and password. Select “Start Free” below to open the account creation page in the dashboard, then follow the prompts to enter and confirm your details. Choose a password you can keep secure, and don’t reuse one from another site. When you’re done, save your username and password in a trusted password manager rather than relying only on your browser’s temporary memory.
After submitting the form, follow the result shown in the dashboard. You should be able to continue to the account overview. If the form remains open, read the guidance next to the fields or at the top of the page, then correct the relevant details. Don’t submit repeatedly before confirming the result, or create another account just because the page is slow to change. If you already have an account, use the login link in the navigation.
Once you’re in the dashboard, make sure you’re signed in to the account you intend to use. Orders, plan status, and subscription options are linked to that account, so use the same one when checking from another device. There’s no need to install a client or import a configuration yet: creating an account only gives you access to the dashboard. You’ll get the subscription needed to connect after activating a plan. Confirm that you’re signed in, then continue.
Choose a plan and confirm activation
Open the plans page in the account dashboard. First, decide between a monthly plan and a data package, then choose based on your expected usage. Monthly plans include 60GB for ¥9.9/month, 250GB for ¥18/month, and 500GB for ¥28/month. These are different data allowances, not different billing periods. Monthly data resets on the activation date each month. If you upgrade partway through a billing period, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. For full details, read Plans and Data Allowances.
If you prefer to pay based on usage, you can also choose a data package: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, or ¥658/3000GB. Data remains available until it’s used and never expires. Before choosing, check the plan name, price, and data allowance shown in the dashboard. Don’t judge by price alone. Video streaming, file downloads, and occasional browsing all use different amounts of data. Consider your own habits; a larger data allowance doesn’t guarantee a faster connection.
Once you’ve confirmed your selection, create an order and pay as instructed in the dashboard. K6VPN supports Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT. Follow the payment page for the exact steps. After paying, return to the dashboard and check the order result, plan status, and available data in the account overview. A success message on the payment page and an active subscription in your account are two separate things to verify. Continue to get your subscription only after it appears as available in the dashboard.
If you’ve paid but the dashboard hasn’t updated, keep your order record, refresh the account overview, and check the order details. Don’t pay again just to make the status change. If you need help, describe the order status through the support ticket option in the dashboard. K6VPN offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund. See the Refund Policy for how to request one and applicable terms. Once your plan status is confirmed, go to the account overview to find your subscription.
Get your subscription from the account overview
The subscription link lets your client retrieve route configurations. It isn’t a regular web address or an installer. Open the account overview and find the subscription section. First, confirm that your plan is active and your data is available. If the dashboard offers an import option for your client, use it. Your browser may ask whether to open the client; proceed only if the client is installed and the app name is correct.
To import manually, use the dashboard’s copy option to get the full subscription link. Paste it directly into the client to avoid adding spaces or line breaks, or losing the end of the link when copying through a chat app or text editor. You don’t need to interpret the link or modify its domain, path, or parameters based on examples you find online. Always use the subscription shown in your own account overview, not a configuration shared by someone else.
Treat your subscription link as sensitive account information. Don’t post it publicly, add it to shared documents, or include it in troubleshooting screenshots. When contacting support, share the error message and the step where it occurred instead of sending the full subscription. If you think the link has been exposed, check whether the dashboard offers a reset option. After resetting it, you may need to re-import the subscription on your devices; follow the dashboard’s instructions.
This guide does not provide working subscription links. If copying doesn’t show a confirmation, don’t try to piece together a link yourself. Check whether your browser blocked clipboard access, or use the dashboard’s manual copy option. Once you have the complete subscription, leave the account overview open and go to the download section to choose a client for your device.
Import a client for your platform
Download clients from the “Download Client” option in the account dashboard; there’s no need to look for installers in search results. You can download clients for Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux after signing in, even without a paid plan. You’ll still need an active plan to get a subscription for connecting. iOS downloads have a separate access requirement; follow the steps below. After installing a client, import the subscription you got in the previous section.
Windows: Install the desktop client and add your subscription
On the dashboard’s download page, choose the K6VPN client for Windows and follow the instructions to install and open it. If Windows asks you to confirm installation or permissions, first check that the file came from the K6VPN account dashboard. In the app, look for “Subscription,” “Configuration,” or an option to add a configuration. If the dashboard can open the client to import directly, return to the account overview and use that option. Otherwise, choose to add from a link and paste the full subscription.
After saving, update the configuration and confirm that the route list appears. Then select this configuration for use. Seeing a configuration name without any routes usually means the import isn’t complete. Check whether you missed the update step or the client shows a download error. Don’t keep adding the same subscription or change connection settings at the same time. Once the routes appear, continue to the connection verification section.
macOS: Check the app and network permissions
Choose the desktop client for macOS from the account dashboard and follow the download page instructions to install and open it. If macOS displays a security prompt the first time you run it, confirm where you downloaded the app from, then follow the available steps to allow it. Don’t lower your system-wide security settings just to install the app. In the client, add the link under subscription or configuration management, or use the import option in the account overview to open the installed client.
After importing, check the configuration update time and route list to make sure you’re using the subscription you just added. When you connect for the first time, macOS may ask you to allow network configuration. Follow the prompt, then check the app’s status. If the app icon appears in the menu bar but web access hasn’t changed, don’t assume that the app running means the proxy is working. Continue with the verification steps below.
Android: Import your subscription and allow the VPN connection
Download the Android client from the dashboard’s download page and follow the system prompts to install it. If Android asks whether to allow installation from this source, first confirm that you’re installing the file obtained from the account dashboard. Open the client, go to its configuration or subscription page, choose to import from a link, then paste and save your subscription. If the dashboard supports direct import, you can use the corresponding option in the account overview instead.
Update the configuration and wait for the routes to appear. Select the route you want to use, then connect. Android may ask you to allow a VPN connection; this is separate from installation permissions, so follow the system prompt to confirm. For your first connection test, keep the app in the foreground. If it only disconnects after you switch to another app, check Android’s battery and background activity settings before deleting the configuration and starting over.
iOS: Open the download page and import your subscription
Open the download page in the account dashboard and select the iOS option. The iOS client is available from the App Store. Its actual download link is provided only to accounts with an active, paid plan. If the dashboard says you need an active plan, return to the account overview and check your status. Don’t get a download link or subscription from an unrelated page or another user, and don’t mistake this message for a failed subscription copy.
After installing a compatible iOS client, return to the dashboard and try its import option. If you need to add the subscription manually, choose the option to import from a link under subscriptions or configurations in the app, paste the link, and update it. When connecting for the first time, iOS may ask permission to add a VPN configuration and require local device authentication. Once setup is complete, check the connection status in the app and try the intended service. A saved configuration alone doesn’t mean setup is complete.
Linux and interface differences
K6VPN also supports Linux. Sign in to the account dashboard and follow the download page instructions to get a compatible client. The basic process is the same: add the subscription, update the configuration, wait for routes to appear, select the configuration, and connect. Apps use different names for system proxy settings, connection modes, and permissions, so this guide doesn’t cover every interface. If you can’t find the right option, see the Help Center and check the settings available in your current app rather than relying on screenshots from another client.
Connect to a route and verify the connection
Once the route list appears, choose a route and connect. For your first connection, keep the client’s recommended mode and avoid changing DNS, routing, or other advanced options at the same time. In rule mode, different websites may use different routes. Global mode and rule mode work differently, so a mode’s name alone can’t tell you whether the connection is working correctly. If you need help with these terms, check the Help Center; you don’t need to change every setting before getting started.
First, check whether the client shows a clear connection error. Then use IP Lookup to help check your exit IP. Keep in mind that in rule mode, the lookup page itself may use a direct connection, so interpret the result based on the route the page actually takes. Next, open the website or app you want to use and check whether it loads, lets you sign in, or plays content as expected. The client status, IP lookup result, and access to the intended service are complementary checks; don’t rely on just one.
If a website works but an app doesn’t, fully close and reopen the app, then check whether it follows your system proxy settings. If your browser works but other apps don’t, don’t assume the subscription has stopped working; the app may use a different network route. Streaming services also consider your account region, content licensing, and exit IP when determining what’s available. A working connection doesn’t guarantee access to every regional catalog.
If none of your intended sites or apps open, first disconnect the client and confirm that your local network can access familiar websites. Then check that the client configuration is up to date, the right subscription is selected, and you’ve granted the required system permissions. When switching routes, change only that setting and leave the rest as is so you can tell what made a difference. Avoid running multiple clients that control network traffic at once; they can conflict and cause access issues even when their statuses look normal.
Once you can reliably access the intended service, setup is complete. You can follow the same steps on other devices. K6VPN allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but keep the subscription information on each device secure. For frequent disconnections, failed subscription updates, background disconnects, or DNS issues, see the Complete Troubleshooting Guide and follow the steps for your symptoms. If you need to submit a support ticket, include your operating system, client name, the step where the issue occurred, and a redacted screenshot of the error. Keep the original error text, but don’t expose your password or full subscription link.
