The free tier is a genuine long-term option – test nodes, try the client and browse lightly with no cost. VIP dedicated lines add CN2 / IEPL routing, native IP streaming exits and 24/7 priority support.
Neither plan throttles speed or caps data. Route quality, node range and simultaneous device count are where they differ.
Daily check-in earns connection time. Ideal for occasional browsing and testing node quality before upgrading.
CN2 GIA / 9929 / IEPL routes, all nodes, more devices and around-the-clock priority support.
Speed and data are unlimited on both. The gap appears in routing, node selection and how many devices you can run at once.

Route type, device count and support response time are the three variables that actually vary between plans – check each against your real usage.
Daytime browsing is fine on shared lines. If you stream, run AI tools or work in the evening, CN2 GIA or IEPL dedicated routes make the difference visible.
Count phones, tablets and laptops you actually use simultaneously – not just devices you own. VIP covers 6 at once, which covers most households.
Node issues that go unfixed for hours are frustrating. VIP tickets go to the front of the queue, so problems are diagnosed and resolved sooner.
How the free tier is funded, how upgrades work, family sharing and refunds.
The free tier is funded by VIP subscriptions and is a permanent part of the product. It covers light browsing and node testing rather than replacing dedicated lines for heavy daily use.
Yes. The account is the same; your configuration, history and subscription link all carry over – just pick a plan and continue.
Yes, within the simultaneous device limit. VIP allows 6 devices online at once, which works for a family or a small remote team.
Standard online payment methods are shown at checkout. If a payment fails, support can usually arrange an alternative channel.
One account on your phone, laptop and tablet – free tier to test, VIP dedicated lines when you need consistent performance for work, study, AI tools and streaming.
