Choose a Route Based on Your Needs and Path

For everyday browsing, you can start by checking an exit region nearby, but geographic distance alone doesn't determine the experience. Traffic also passes through your local network, access route, and destination website. For services with regional requirements, first check which regions the platform supports, then choose the matching exit. For file transfers or extended viewing, focus on whether the task completes reliably rather than whether a single connection test succeeds.

IEPL dedicated, transit, and direct describe different traffic paths; they don't guarantee the same results on every network. Transit routes pass through an intermediate access point. Direct routes skip that type of relay, but are still affected by public internet routing. To compare routes, use the same device and website at roughly the same time, changing only the exit. This makes it easier to distinguish local network issues from changes along the cross-border path.

Before streaming, check your account region, content licensing, and how the platform identifies the exit route. A successful connection doesn't guarantee that a particular catalog will always be available. Picture quality also depends on the content, account permissions, and current network conditions. The regions and route types shown are for comparison only and don't guarantee ongoing availability on any specific platform.

Route status is for reference when choosing a route. Your actual experience depends on access to the target service from your device.

Connections, Privacy, and Terms of Use

Check route performance separately from subscription terms. Feature guides explain how to use the service; pricing and refund terms set clear expectations.

Peak-Time Connections and Alternative Routes

When connections slow down at peak times, check whether the issue lies with local access, the cross-border route, or the destination service. X4VPN offers IEPL dedicated, transit, and direct routes so you can compare different paths on the same device. Keep your current settings and change only the exit, then check whether pages load faster, video buffers less, or file transfers improve. If the problem persists across routes, check your local network and app settings. Route types help you compare options; they don't guarantee consistent speeds at all times.

Anonymous Service and Data Minimization

Anonymous, no-logs service is X4VPN's privacy commitment. No email is required to get started; you can create an account with a username and password, minimizing the information needed to set it up. On public networks, an encrypted tunnel helps protect data in transit, but account logins, a website's own data collection, and device security still need to be managed separately. Use a unique password, store your subscription details securely, and redact sensitive information before submitting troubleshooting materials. The privacy policy explains how the service handles data; encryption doesn't mean you're anonymous in every situation.

One Subscription, Unlimited Connected Devices

X4VPN supports unlimited devices on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. Use the same subscription on desktop and mobile without choosing separate data plans for each device. Each device still needs its own client setup, and you should check connection permissions and routing rules. Unlimited devices describes the device policy, not unlimited data; consider the combined needs of all your devices when choosing a plan. You can get the client and subscription details from the user panel when switching devices.

Route AI Tools with Rules

When using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, first check the tool's region and account requirements, then configure the appropriate exit. Rule-based routing can send AI tool requests through a specified route while other sites follow their own rules, so you don't have to keep changing your entire network for one app. If a page opens but the session fails, check your login status, browser cache, and whether the request matched the intended rule. The US route shown is an example configuration, not a promise that every AI tool, account, or feature will work through that exit.

What to Check

Region Requirements / Account Status / Routing Rule Match

Streaming Regions and Playback

Streaming depends on account permissions, content availability by region, and network conditions. Before choosing an exit, check the catalog you want, then test playback with the same title to see whether it runs smoothly. A drop in picture quality may be caused by adaptive playback, device settings, or congestion on the current route; don't assume it's due to a particular route name. X4VPN offers routes in different regions and types for comparison, but the platform determines which content is available. When troubleshooting, note the error page and route you used; repeatedly refreshing is less helpful.

30-day refund policy

X4VPN offers a 30-day refund policy. Before choosing a subscription, review the plan rules and terms of service, including how data resets, supported devices, and payment methods, then choose a tier that suits your needs. If you have connection issues, submit a ticket through the user panel and include your device platform, route name, and symptoms to help identify whether the cause is configuration or network-related. Refund terms and procedures are governed by the terms of service. A single successful connection doesn't establish that the service is right for every use case, and upgrading isn't a substitute for diagnosing an unresolved connection issue.

Troubleshoot the Connection Step by Step

The four layers represent routes, encryption, routing, and devices. Routes determine the path requests take; encryption protects data in transit; routing assigns different requests to exits; and device settings determine whether the configuration takes effect. When something goes wrong, checking these layers one at a time is more likely to reveal the cause than changing many settings at once. Account login, subscription updates, and access to a target app are separate checks and should be recorded individually.

If you're new, start with the setup guide and follow the steps to get the client, import your subscription, and verify the connection. If an existing setup isn't working, find the relevant symptom in the troubleshooting handbook. When submitting a ticket, include your operating system, the client message, selected route, and steps you've already tried. Redact passwords and full subscription details from screenshots; account credentials aren't troubleshooting materials.

Monthly Plans and Data Add-ons

Choose a monthly plan based on your regular usage; data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. All prices and data allowances are listed on the page.

Monthly Plan

60GB

¥9.9/month

A good fit for browsing, messaging, and light cross-border use. If you often stream video or transfer files, check your usage in the panel to see whether a higher tier makes sense.

  • 60GB per month
  • Unlimited devices
  • 30-day refund policy

Monthly Plan

250GB

¥18/month

For a mix of browsing, work, AI tools, and video streaming. If you use multiple devices at once, consider your desktop and mobile needs together rather than looking only at usage on one device.

  • 250GB per month
  • Unlimited devices

500GB

¥28/month

Reset Dates and Upgrade Rules

Monthly plan data resets each month on your activation date, not on the first of the calendar month. Before choosing, consider both your usage habits and the data cycle: text-based tasks use far less data than extended video streaming, and multiple connected devices affect total usage. These examples are for comparing plans, not promises about how many hours of viewing or tasks a tier can support. After you start using the service, check your plan and data details in the user panel.

When you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is converted into remaining days. Before changing tiers, check the order details and plan information in the panel, then confirm the change. Unlimited devices doesn't change the data allowance of your plan. If a connection fails, troubleshoot the configuration and route before assuming the plan lacks enough data. Checking price, data, and connection issues separately can help avoid unnecessary changes.

Data Add-ons: No Expiration; Use Until Depleted

¥158 / 300GB · ¥358 / 1000GB · ¥658 / 3000GB

Data add-ons suit users with irregular schedules who prefer to track usage by total data. They use a different billing model from monthly plans, which reset on your activation date. When comparing, decide whether you need a recurring monthly allowance or a data add-on with no expiration, then check the relevant price. Don't compare the two as if they shared the same billing cycle.

Pay with Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. No email is required to get started; create an account with a username and password. Get the client and subscription details from the user panel. Direct download links and subscription URLs aren't provided on this page; check the panel for platform-specific requirements and instructions.

The full plans page lists prices, billing methods, data rules, and refund terms in one place for easy comparison.
