From account creation to connection

Start by opening the ArpVPN account creation page. You only need to set a username and password; no email address is required. Use the username to sign in to the user panel later, and the password to protect your plan, subscription, and order details. Choose a username that is easy to recognize without confusing it with accounts on other sites, and store your password securely.

Enter your username and password in order, then confirm and submit. When the page returns you to the sign-in screen, use the details you just set to enter the user panel. After signing in, you will see areas such as Account Overview, Plans, Clients, and Orders. Your account is now ready, but no plan is active yet, so the Clients area may show guidance only. This is normal.

If the form says the username is already in use, choose another username and submit again. If it says the passwords do not match, return to the password field and check them again. Avoid submitting the same form repeatedly in multiple tabs, as this can make it unclear which details were ultimately accepted.

After this step, there is no need to look for a subscription address on public pages or download configuration files from unknown sources. Go directly to the Plans area in the user panel and place an order based on your actual usage.

After signing in, open the Plans section. First consider how you will use the service: if you use it continuously with fairly consistent monthly needs, a monthly subscription is a good fit; if your usage is irregular and you want to keep the data for later, choose a permanent, non-expiring data package that lasts until used. The two billing models address different needs, so do not compare them by total price alone.

Monthly subscriptions include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date; if you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data packages include ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They never expire after purchase and remain available until used. All plans can be used on an unlimited number of devices, but usage is still deducted from the same account's available data.

After selecting a plan, review the order. Check the plan name, billing method, and amount, then choose an available payment method from Alipay, WeChat Pay, or USDT. After payment, return to the user panel and check the status in Orders. If the order is still processing, wait for the page to update instead of creating multiple identical orders.

When trying the service for the first time, estimate your usage based on recent activities. Everyday browsing, documents, and AI Tools generally use less data than continuous high-resolution video playback; with multiple devices, consider their combined usage. For a systematic comparison of monthly plans, data packages, route types, and family sharing, continue to the selection guide rather than expanding the comparison here.

Once the plan is active, Account Overview will show your subscription details and availability. This service offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. If you need to request one, open the ticket area from the user panel and describe the order. After completing the purchase, get the subscription link associated with your account.

Once the order is active, open Account Overview. In the subscription details section, find the copy option and copy the link for your current account to the clipboard. This is not a regular webpage address; it lets the client retrieve ArpVPN route settings, group information, and future updates. Keep it only on your own devices and in your own clients.

This page does not display a real subscription address. When illustrating the format, use an obvious example such as https://example.com/sub?token=YOUR_TOKEN. The real link must come from the user panel after you sign in. Do not paste the example address into a client expecting it to return routes.

After copying the link, you can stay in Account Overview and open the Clients area in the user panel. Get the client and import instructions for your current system. The client entry delivers the program suited to your platform; the subscription link adds your account's routes to that program. You need both. Do not paste the subscription link into a browser search box or share it in a public discussion.

If the subscription option is not visible in Account Overview yet, first confirm that the order is active, then refresh your account details. If it still does not appear, submit a ticket from the user panel and include the order status. Do not assemble the address yourself or guess its format from another page, because the account link is tied to your current account.

Once you have the link, finish the import in the client. Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS place the menus differently, but the logic is the same: open the ArpVPN client, find the subscription import option, paste the link, save, and update the configuration.

After importing the subscription, return to the client's route list. Choose a region based on your actual target: for services in Japan, start with Japanese routes; for international work or AI Tools, choose a stable route that matches the service entry point. ArpVPN covers 90+ countries and 200+ routes, so there is no need to test every option—start with the target region.

Start the connection with your chosen route and wait until the client shows Connected. Then open the webpage or app you need, reload it, and check whether the content loads normally. Verify with the target service that actually requires an international route, rather than checking only whether the client's button changes color. A Connected status means only that the local connection process is complete; the target page loading normally confirms that the full access path is working.

If the target page was already open, the browser may retain an old connection or cached result. Close the tab and reopen it, or temporarily exit and relaunch the target app. If it still will not load, return to the client, switch to another route in the same region, and repeat the verification. Wait for the connection status to stabilize after switching before reopening the target page, so a brief interruption during the switch is not mistaken for a route failure.

Once connection verification passes, basic setup is complete. For future use, you typically only need to open the client, update the subscription, choose a route, and connect. Updating the subscription retrieves the current configuration; it is not the same as purchasing a plan again. Plan and data status are shown in Account Overview in the user panel.
