Update your subscription, then check the selected route
Log in to the user dashboard to get your subscription, then update the list in your client. An older list may contain names or entry points that have since changed. After updating, verify the selected entry instead of relying on an old favorite. For your first import, see the Quick Start Guide. Download clients and subscriptions from the dashboard after logging in; iOS availability is shown there.
Confirm which exit the app is actually using
A successful connection in the client means the connection process completed, but routing rules may send some apps through a different path. Check the client mode, rules for the target domain, and app settings before verifying the exit location. Browsers, desktop software, and system services may use different network settings, so after checking your browser, test an actual task in the app you intend to use.
Repeat the same task test during busy periods
Route performance can change with local Wi-Fi conditions, carrier routing, and the status of the destination service. To see whether a route works well in the evening, repeat the same task at your usual time instead of comparing results from different times and apps. Change just one condition at a time: keep the exit region fixed, switch between relay and direct, and check whether loading, uploads, or persistent sessions improve.
If the issue persists, submit details that help reproduce it
Note the platform, route name shown in the client, network connection, time of occurrence, target app, and error message, then submit them through a support ticket in the dashboard. “The login page works, but the upload stops” is more helpful for troubleshooting than “It’s slow.” Before sharing screenshots, hide your username, subscription link, and other account details. Never post subscription credentials in public discussions.
Assess route suitability and data usage separately
Route suitability depends on your use case and the actual network path; choosing a data allowance depends on how much data you transfer. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. To compare allowances and prices, visit the Plans page.
