How to start using RocketVPN: from sign-up to your first connection
Sign-up, plans, payment and the first connection, step by step, the way it looks in your account today.
Setting everything up usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. RocketVPN and R-VPN are the same service with one shared account, so this guide works for both addresses.
Step 1. Sign up
All you need is an e-mail address. Enter it on the sign-up page: you will receive an e-mail with a code, type the code on the website and you are in your account. This address is also your login.
No e-mail? Check your spam folder and make sure the address is correct. You can request a new code on the code page.
Step 2. Choose a plan
Every plan includes the same: up to 10 devices at the same time, unlimited traffic, every technology and servers in 28 countries and territories. Only the period and the price differ.
| Plan | Period | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 1 month | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| Silver | 3 months | $29.99 | ≈ $10 |
| Gold | 6 months | $39.99 | ≈ $6.67 |
| Platinum | 12 months | $49.99 | ≈ $4.17 |
New accounts get a 5% discount for the first 72 hours after sign-up.

Step 3. Pay
In your account, click the plan you want and choose how to pay: bank card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, PayPal, cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT), Alipay or WeChat Pay.
- With a card or Apple Pay the subscription starts on its own as soon as the payment goes through.
- PayPal, cryptocurrency, Alipay and WeChat Pay are manual: after the transfer, attach the payment confirmation on the order page and the subscription starts once it is checked.
Every payment is one-off, nothing is charged automatically.
Step 4. Connect
After payment, the main page of your account shows the Your subscription block: the expiry date, the number of connections and the VPN technology switch. You can switch technologies as often as you like, free of charge: the connection details below change to match.
The easiest way: V2Ray
- Install the Happ or INCY app. Links for your system are in your account under Useful links.
- Pick V2Ray in the technology switch and turn on the servers you want with the Connect button.
- Copy a server's link or open its QR code and add it to Happ or INCY, then connect in the app.
Hysteria2 works the same way and in the same apps. For the other technologies your account shows their own details: a configuration file and QR code (AmneziaWG, WireGuard, Shadowsocks) or a login and password (OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP/IPsec).
What to install on each device (the device name links to a guide with screenshots):
| Device | App |
|---|---|
| Windows | Happ or INCY |
| macOS | Happ or INCY |
| Android | Happ or INCY, from Google Play or as a file from your account |
| iPhone, iPad | Happ or INCY from the App Store |
| Router | Depends on the firmware |
Guides for every technology and system are also in your account, under Useful links.
If your network blocks VPN traffic, start with V2Ray; Hysteria2 and AmneziaWG are the backups. The classic protocols — WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP — are fine where VPNs are not filtered and on routers.
How to check that the VPN works
The app says you are connected, a VPN icon appears in the status bar, and the site you needed opens. You can also check your IP address on any site that shows it: it should change.
If it does not connect
- Pick another server.
- Switch the technology in the Your subscription block, for example from V2Ray to Hysteria2 or AmneziaWG.
- Open RADAR in your account menu: it shows which servers are reachable right now. You are signed in to it from your account automatically.
- If you connect with a login and password, check that no extra spaces were copied.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect?
Up to 10 at the same time on any plan. The Your subscription block in your account shows how many connections are in use. If you go over the limit, access is paused for a while.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Enter the promo code TRIAL in your account to get 24 hours of access to every technology and server. The code works once per account.
How do I extend my subscription?
Click Extend in the Your subscription block and pay for any plan. If your subscription is still active, the new period is added to the time you have left.
Do I need to cancel my subscription?
No. Every payment is one-off and nothing is charged automatically: the subscription simply ends when the period is over.
Do I need to install an app?
For V2Ray and Hysteria2 you need the free Happ or INCY app; download links are in your account under Useful links. The service has no app of its own. IKEv2 and L2TP/IPsec use the settings built into your system, OpenVPN works in the free OpenVPN Connect app.
Does it work on a TV?
The easiest way is to set up the VPN on your router: every device at home, the TV included, then goes through it. On an Android TV you can install INCY and add your servers the same way as on a phone.
