Account & subscriptions

Check your account and subscription status first, then troubleshoot your client configuration. Get subscription links and clients from the user panel.

Do I need an email address to create an account? How should I store my account details?

No email address is required to create an account—just choose a username and password. Pick a username that’s easy to recognize but doesn’t reveal sensitive information, and set a unique password for VPNMQ. Store it securely in a trusted password manager. After creating your account, make sure you can sign in to the user panel before choosing a plan or downloading a client. Not needing an email address doesn’t mean you can discard your account details. If you have trouble signing in, check your username, input method, and any spaces in your password. Never post your password, subscription link, or full order details in a public forum.

Do I need to buy another plan when I switch devices or use several devices at once?

VPNMQ allows unlimited simultaneous devices, so switching devices alone doesn’t mean you need to buy another plan. You can use Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux by configuring a client on each device and using an active subscription on your account. Device limits and data allowances are separate: when using several devices, keep an eye on your plan’s data balance and status. When you stop using an old device, remove any saved subscription details. After using a public or borrowed device, sign out and clear its local configuration.

Where can I find my subscription link, and how do I refresh the route list?

Sign in to the user panel and check your subscription status on the account overview page. Use the subscription link provided there to import your settings into a client. If you’ve already imported a configuration, look for an update option in the client’s subscription or configuration list. After updating, open the route list and check that the configuration and region are correct. If the update fails, check your local network and plan status, then get the current subscription link from the panel. Avoid repeatedly importing old links from unknown sources. Your subscription link grants access to your account, so don’t include it in public screenshots or give it to strangers for testing.

What’s the difference between a monthly subscription and a data package, and which suits my usage?

A monthly subscription includes a monthly data allowance that resets each month on the date you activate it. A data package lasts until its data is used and never expires. If you regularly visit international websites or need a reliable connection for ongoing work, compare monthly subscriptions against your actual usage. If your schedule is irregular and you only connect occasionally, compare the data package allowance and price. Before choosing, consider the billing model, data allowance, and your usage habits. Don’t apply the monthly reset rule to data packages, or mistake “never expires” for unlimited data. See the plans page for available options.

Why can’t I import a subscription or connect after signing in?

Signing in confirms your account identity, but it doesn’t guarantee you have an active subscription. In the user panel, check that your order is complete, your plan is active, and you have enough data remaining. Then make sure the client has imported the current configuration for this account. If you’ve just paid, check the order status and refresh the account overview. Don’t pay again just because the page hasn’t updated yet. If the order status is normal but the subscription is still unavailable, contact support through a panel ticket and describe what you see. Include the status shown on the order page, but never send your password or full subscription link.

Connections & troubleshooting

Work through local network access, account status, client settings, and the target app in that order. Change one relevant setting at a time so you can compare results.

The client says it’s connected, but websites won’t load. What should I check first?

Disconnect the client and confirm your local network can open websites that normally work. Once your local connection is confirmed, connect to the selected route and try the target website again. Check that the client is using an active configuration, that the system proxy or VPN connection is enabled, and that no other proxy tools are running at the same time. A successful connection indicator only confirms that the client completed its connection step; it doesn’t verify access to a particular service. Keep the network and target website unchanged while troubleshooting, and adjust one setting at a time. If several sites fail, update your subscription and try a route in another region.

Why does my browser work, but a particular app doesn’t use the proxy?

Browsers and apps may use different network paths. Some apps follow the system proxy; others require the client’s VPN or another network-routing mode. Split-tunneling rules can also affect them. Check the client’s current mode, then see whether the app is set to connect directly or excluded from the proxy. After changing the configuration, close and reopen the app, then test it again. Avoid changing several rules at once or editing unfamiliar system settings. If the issue persists, provide the app name, operating system, and client mode so support can distinguish a rule issue from a limitation of the service itself.

What should I do if importing a subscription fails or the route list is empty after an update?

First, make sure you copied the complete subscription link from the panel—not the sign-in page URL or text truncated by a messaging app. Check that the client supports your platform, your subscription is active, and whether the import shows a specific error. If you already have a configuration, try updating it first rather than deleting the one you’re using. If you need to import it again, save any local rules you need, then get the current link from the panel. If it still fails, open a support ticket with the error message and your client platform. Before sharing a screenshot, hide the subscription link, password, and other account access details.

Do I need to import my subscription again after switching networks or waking my device from sleep?

Usually, check the connection first—you don’t need to immediately import your subscription again. Switching networks, waking a device from sleep, or changes to background activity settings can interrupt an existing connection. Confirm that your device is online, then disconnect and reconnect in the client. Reopen the target app if needed. If the route list is still there and your subscription is active, focus on the connection and system settings rather than repeatedly replacing your account configuration. If the issue keeps happening in the same situation, note what you did beforehand, the network type, and any client message, then include those details in a support ticket to help reproduce the problem.

What information should I include in a support ticket about a connection problem?

Describe the issue through the ticket form in your signed-in user panel. Include your platform, the client name shown on screen, the selected region, your network environment, and the specific site or service you can’t access. Mention whether you updated the subscription, switched networks, or changed any rules before the issue began. A screenshot of the error can help, but hide sensitive details first. List the steps you’ve already tried to reduce follow-up questions. Don’t send your account password, full subscription link, or configuration files containing access credentials. If logs include any of these details, remove them before sharing only the relevant excerpt.

Speed & routes

Start with the region your task requires, then check how the connection performs in practice. Route metrics and your experience with a target service are separate measures.

My connection slows down during peak hours. How should I switch routes?

First, work out whether the slowdown is on your local network or the international route. Pause bandwidth-heavy tasks on other devices and confirm that local websites load normally. Then compare different routes with the same target service. Try another route in the same region first, then choose a different region if the service requires it. Change only the route while keeping the app and network conditions the same so you can tell what made a difference. Don’t rely on a single speed-test result: page loads, video buffering, and uninterrupted work requests are often better measures of your actual needs. If the issue persists, include your comparisons in a support ticket.

Which regions do the routes cover, and how do I choose the right endpoint region?

VPNMQ covers 110+ countries and 220+ routes. Check the user panel for the current list of available regions and routes. First, see whether the service you want to use requires a specific region, then choose based on how it performs for your everyday use. Geographic distance can be a useful reference, but it doesn’t determine performance on its own; your local network, international routing, and the target service’s status also matter. The servers page provides route information, while the current list in your client is what you use to connect. If your target account has regional requirements, follow the platform’s rules. Coverage in a country doesn’t guarantee access to every service there.

Why are downloads or videos still slow when latency is low?

Latency, transfer speed, and connection stability measure different things. Low latency doesn’t guarantee fast downloads or smooth video delivery from a particular site. The target server, local Wi-Fi, background tasks, and international routing can all affect performance. Test the apps you actually use on the same network and see whether pages load, files transfer, and videos play consistently instead of relying only on metrics in the route list. Tests use data, so check your remaining allowance before frequently downloading large files. If only one service is affected, compare it with other sites to narrow down the issue before switching routes.

An AI tool or streaming service says it’s unavailable in my region. Will switching routes fix it?

Switching routes is a troubleshooting step, not a guarantee that a platform will allow access. AI tools and streaming services may check your exit region, account region, subscription eligibility, or other platform rules. Check the service’s requirements for your account and region, choose a matching route, and reopen the app to test. If the browser and app behave differently, also check the proxy mode and routing rules. Don’t repeatedly change your account details while troubleshooting, and don’t assume a network connection means you’re authorized to access content. For more on usage limitations, see the AI guide and streaming access pages.

What should I do if the route list changes or a route I used is no longer available?

Update your subscription in the client, then compare its route list with the current list in the user panel. This helps avoid relying on names left over from an old configuration. If the original route is no longer listed, choose another route in the same region and test whether it meets your needs. A name change alone doesn’t mean your plan is inactive. If a service requires a specific region, check the endpoint region before switching to avoid disrupting work in progress. If the panel and client lists still don’t match, open a support ticket with the update steps, platform, and route names. Hide subscription details in any screenshots.

Billing & refunds

Before paying, check the billing model and data rules. If you’re unsure about an order’s status, verify the original order before taking further action.

How much do plans and data packages cost, and what payment methods are available?

Monthly subscriptions: ¥9.9/month for 60GB · ¥18/month for 250GB · ¥28/month for 500GB. Data packages: ¥158 for 300GB · ¥358 for 1000GB · ¥658 for 3000GB. Data packages last until used and never expire. Payment methods: Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. Before paying, check the plan name, billing model, and data allowance. Monthly subscriptions and data packages can’t be compared by price alone. See the plans page for full details. To pay, open the plans and orders section of the user panel and follow the on-screen instructions. If the payment result is unclear, check the original order before trying again.

When does monthly subscription data reset? Does data package data reset too?

Monthly subscription data resets each month on the date you activated the plan; don’t estimate the reset date based on the calendar month. Data packages last until used, never expire, and don’t reset monthly. Check your plan, remaining data, and account status in the user panel before scheduling video streaming, downloads, or other data-heavy tasks. If the available amount doesn’t match your expectations, confirm which billing model you have and whether other devices are also using your account’s data. If something on the page is unclear, save a screenshot of the relevant status and submit a support ticket. Don’t apply another plan’s data rules to your account.

Can I upgrade my monthly subscription if I need more data partway through?

If you upgrade a monthly subscription partway through its term, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Sign in to the user panel to check your current plan status, then review the upgraded tier, order amount, and validity details shown on the plans page. Don’t convert the price difference into extra data yourself or assume the upgrade starts a full new billing period. If you only need extra data temporarily, compare your current plan with the data package options and choose from the actions available in the panel. If you have questions about the calculation, ask through a support ticket before confirming the order. This page makes no additional promises about unlisted credits, discounts, or combining data allowances.

How long is the refund period, and where do I apply?

VPNMQ offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. To request one, read the refund policy first, then sign in to the user panel and submit your request through a support ticket. Include order details that can be verified in the panel. You don’t need to complete all the troubleshooting steps on this page before requesting a refund. If you’d also like to report a service issue, include your platform and what happened, but don’t send your password or subscription link. The refund policy defines eligibility and terms. This page doesn’t promise a processing time or any unlisted arrangements. Check for a reply in the original ticket instead of opening multiple tickets about the same order.

I’ve paid, but my order hasn’t updated or the service isn’t active. Should I pay again?

Don’t pay again yet. Go to the orders page in the user panel and check that the order you just paid for matches the plan you selected. Then check the actual transaction result with your payment provider and refresh your account overview to confirm the subscription status. If the payment provider shows a successful transaction but the order hasn’t updated, submit a support ticket with the order ID, the status shown on the page, and a redacted payment receipt. A redirect from the payment page doesn’t necessarily mean the order has been processed, so don’t rely only on the browser’s return page. Keep the original order and payment record until the status is confirmed, and don’t share account access details with strangers.
