What You Need to Get Started
A short checklist of what you need before your first vpn.now connection: an email, a plan, a device, and the official tunnel app.
Create Your vpn.now Account
How to sign up for vpn.now, confirm your email, choose a strong password, and log in to your dashboard for the first time.
Is There More Than One Plan?
vpn.now is free for everyone: one plan, nothing to choose, and no card required. Here is what your free account includes.
Add Your First Device
Register a device in your vpn.now dashboard, name it, pick a server, and generate the config file it needs to connect.
Download Your Config File
Where to find your .conf file in the dashboard, how to move it to your device safely, and how to import it on each platform.
The quickest way to your first VPN connection
Start by creating one free account, then install the app made for your device. Sign in, choose an available server, and press connect. You do not need a card, a separate subscription, or networking experience.
If you prefer to inspect the connection yourself, add the device in your dashboard and use its config with the official tunnel app. Give every device its own config so you can revoke one without disrupting the others.
Start in this order
- Create and confirm your account
- Install the app for the device you are using
- Connect, then check that your public IP changed
