Set it up at home
Install VPN Club before the trip, while your connection is reliable. The apps are on your dashboard once you have bought a plan.
Sign in on each device you are packing and connect once to check it works. Every plan covers several devices at the same time, so your phone and laptop can both stay protected.
- Buy a plan and open the Downloads tab in your dashboard
- Install the app on each device and sign in with your VPN Club ID and password
- Switch on Settings > Connection > Kill switch
Check the local rules
VPN use is limited or banned in some countries. Look up the rules for your destination before you go, and follow them.
Where VPN traffic is filtered, OpenVPN TCP sometimes connects when other protocols fail. We cannot guarantee a connection on every network.
Wi-Fi at hotels and airports
Hotel and airport networks are often open, or everyone gets the same password. Connect to VPN Club as soon as you are online so app traffic is encrypted from the start.
Some of these networks show a sign-in page first. Accept it with the VPN off, then connect to VPN Club. If the connection still fails, change the protocol to OpenVPN TCP.
Reaching services back home
Banking apps, government sites and some local services may block a login from a foreign IP or ask for extra checks. A server in your home country makes you appear to be at home.
For services that check your device closely, stick to one server. Pro comes with a dedicated IP in one of 10 countries, so you get the same address on every trip.
