Client and Subscription Import

Open the “Free Trial” link below to go to the Z7VPN account creation page. Accounts use a username and password; no email address is required. Choose a username you can remember but others are unlikely to guess, and set a unique password for this service. After submitting the form, follow the page instructions to open the user dashboard. If you’re taken to the login page, sign in with the username and password you saved.

Once you’re in the dashboard, first make sure it shows the account you just created. Then check the sections for account overview, plans, client downloads, and support tickets. You’ll use this dashboard for orders, subscriptions, and client setup. The “Guides” page on the marketing site only explains the steps; it won’t show your personal subscription details. Save your account details to avoid creating another account when switching devices and losing track of which plan belongs to which login.

If you’re already signed in to another account in your browser, check which account it is before continuing. Confirming the account before paying is easier than tracking down an order afterward. On a shared device, don’t save your password in the browser, and sign out of the dashboard when you’re done. If you’ve forgotten your account details or see an error, check Account and Subscription FAQs first. Don’t post your password or personal subscription link in public discussions.

Once your account is ready, open the Plans section in the dashboard. Decide how you expect to use the service, then choose a data tier. A monthly plan may suit regular use with a monthly data allowance; a data package may work better if your usage varies. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date, not at the start of each calendar month.

Data packages are ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They last until used and never expire. When comparing options, consider how often you use the service and how you prefer to pay—not just the total data allowance. Device limits and data allowances are separate: Z7VPN allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but that doesn’t mean data is unlimited. If your household shares an account across devices, keep an eye on its data usage.

After choosing a plan, check its name, price, data allowance, and billing terms on the confirmation page, then follow the dashboard steps to place your order. Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT are supported; follow the checkout page instructions to complete payment. Return to the dashboard to check the order result and plan status. If the external payment page confirms payment but the dashboard hasn’t updated yet, check the order again rather than placing another identical order while the page is still loading.

Before continuing, make sure the plan appears as active in your account. When upgrading mid-term, the price difference is converted into remaining days; review the result shown in the dashboard before confirming. This service offers a 60-day no-questions-asked refund. See the Refund Policy for details. For a side-by-side plan comparison and billing information, visit the Plans page. This guide continues with the initial setup steps.

Once your plan is active, open Account Overview in the user dashboard and find the subscription or client import section. The “subscription” isn’t another payment; it’s how your client gets the route configuration for your account. The client uses that information to connect. Signing in to the dashboard alone won’t make your browser or other apps use a route—you’ll still need to import the subscription and connect.

If the dashboard offers one-click import for your client, use that option first. Your browser may ask to open an external app; confirm it’s the client you intend to use before proceeding. If the app isn’t installed, download it from the dashboard first, then return to Account Overview and try importing again. Don’t click import buttons for multiple clients before you’re ready; that can make it hard to tell which app received the configuration.

You can also copy the subscription link and add a remote subscription in your client. Copy the entire link, including any parameters after the address. Don’t copy only the visible beginning or add spaces or line breaks. A subscription link isn’t a regular website address; it’s usually meant to be read by a client. Pasting it into a browser and seeing configuration text doesn’t mean it has been imported into the client.

Always get the information you need to import from the dashboard for your current account. Don’t use sample addresses from search results or someone else’s configuration. Once you’ve copied your link or found the dashboard’s one-click import option, continue with the instructions for your platform below.

In the dashboard’s client downloads section, choose the platform you’re using. You can get clients for Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux after signing in; you don’t need a purchased plan to download them. An active plan is required to use subscription routes. The iOS download option requires a purchased, unexpired plan; check the dashboard for the current requirements. The steps below cover network proxy clients that support subscription imports. Button labels may differ between platforms.

Windows: Import a Remote Configuration and Enable the Proxy

Select the Windows client in the dashboard, download it, and follow the system prompts to install or launch it. Leave the client running, then return to Account Overview and use the matching one-click import option. To import manually, look for “Configuration,” “Subscription,” or “Add Remote Configuration” in the client. Paste the copied subscription link into the address field, give the configuration a recognizable name, then save and update it.

When the route list appears, select the configuration you just imported so it’s the one in use. Then choose a route and enable the connection or system proxy in the client. Simply opening the app or seeing route names in a list usually doesn’t mean the proxy is active. If an app still doesn’t work as expected, complete the connection check below, then see the Help Center for the difference between system proxy and app proxy settings.

macOS: Check the Selected Configuration and System Permissions

Get the macOS client from the dashboard, install it, and open the app. Try the dashboard’s one-click import first. To add it manually, open configuration or subscription management, choose the option to import from a remote URL, paste the subscription link, save, and update. After importing, check that routes appear in the list and that the newly imported configuration—not an empty default—is selected.

When you connect, the client may request network configuration or related system permissions, depending on how the app works. Review the prompt and confirm the app’s source before proceeding. If you dismiss a system prompt, check the client or system settings for any outstanding permission instead of importing the same subscription repeatedly. Importing the configuration and granting system permissions are separate steps; a successful import doesn’t mean permission has been granted.

Android: Add a Subscription and Allow Network Configuration

Get the Android client from the dashboard and install it. Open the app and use the dashboard’s one-click import, or find the add option in the app’s configuration or subscription section and choose to import from a link. Paste the complete subscription address, save it, and update. When the update finishes, return to the configuration list, select the subscription, and check that the available routes have loaded before connecting.

When you connect, Android may show a VPN connection request. Check the app name and prompt before allowing it, then return to the client and check the connection status. If another network proxy or VPN app is already running on your device, stop any connection you don’t need to avoid conflicts. After connecting, test in a browser first, then open the target app. If you need the connection to stay active, check the device’s background activity settings as appropriate.

iOS: Import and Enable the Configuration from the Dashboard

First, make sure your plan is active and hasn’t expired, then use the iOS section of the dashboard to get the client. Installing the app and importing the subscription are separate steps. Once the app is installed, return to Account Overview and use the one-click import option for that client. If your browser asks whether to open the app, confirm and continue. Then check in the client that the subscription was saved successfully.

To import manually, find the option to add a subscription or import from a URL in a client that supports remote subscriptions. Paste the full address and update it. Then choose a route, connect, and allow the VPN configuration when iOS prompts you. If the system asks you to authenticate, do so on your device; you don’t need to share your device unlock information with the service provider. After allowing the configuration, return to the app and check the connection toggle and route status, then test access to the service you need.

Linux and Multiple Devices: Keep the Subscription Source Consistent

Linux users can also get the right client from the dashboard and follow the download section instructions to configure it. Since menus vary across desktop environments and clients, use the dashboard’s import method if available. When switching devices, sign in to the same account on the new device to get your subscription. Simultaneous connections are unlimited, but each device still needs its own configuration and connection; it won’t connect automatically just because another device is already online.

If no routes appear after importing, first check that the right configuration is selected, the subscription address is complete, and the client update succeeded. If you see a specific error, note its exact wording, then check Connection and Troubleshooting FAQs for help. For a deeper comparison of protocols, route setups, and client modes, see the Service Selection Guide. You don’t need to research every detail before your first connection.

After importing, select a route in the client, enable the connection, and make sure there are no unresolved system permission prompts. Z7VPN offers IEPL, relay, and direct routes; the options available to you depend on what’s shown in your account dashboard and client. For your first connection, get one route working before changing modes, DNS, or other advanced settings. This makes it easier to identify which step needs attention if something goes wrong.

First, open a familiar website in your browser to make sure your basic connection still works. Then use a trusted exit IP lookup site to check how your traffic is routed. You can compare the exit region shown before and after connecting, but a region label alone can’t confirm that every app is using the connection. In rule mode, different websites may take different routes, so the site you use for testing may not follow the same route as your target app.

Next, open the app you actually want to use and try refreshing a page, loading content, or performing a routine action. If browsing works but an app doesn’t, check whether the app has its own proxy settings and whether the client’s rules cover it. For AI tools or streaming services, also consider the service’s account region, access policies, and current route. A client showing “Connected” doesn’t guarantee that every service will behave the same way.

If something goes wrong, disconnect first and check that your basic connection works. Then reconnect or try another route for comparison. Change one relevant setting at a time and keep a record of the error message. When contacting support, provide your device platform, client name, error, and the steps you’ve already tried. Don’t send your password or full subscription link. Submit your question through a support ticket in the user dashboard.

If you’re unsure about the difference between “connected” and “working in an app,” see the Exit IP and DNS Verification Guide. For everyday route selection, read Global Locations and Routes. For billing or data questions, visit the FAQ. After verifying the connection, keep the current configuration and use it as needed.
