01

Estimate data and device count

Browsing, messaging, and occasional collaboration use less data; HD video, large sync jobs, and team sharing use much more. Count devices that may connect at the same time.

  • Light single-device use can start at the entry tier.
  • Phone and computer can be used together without extra device slots.
  • Teams should leave capacity for growth and peaks.

APAC or global access

For Asia-focused use, nearby Hong Kong, Singapore, or Japan nodes can be practical. Cross-region work benefits from wider coverage and more backups.

  • Entry tiers suit defined APAC needs.
  • Choose broader global access for multi-region work.
  • Keep a small set of primary and backup nodes.

VMess and Hysteria2

VMess has broad client support. Hysteria2 uses different transport behavior and may be flexible on some variable or high-latency networks. Results depend on the local route, client, and live node.

  • Use a protocol your client explicitly supports.
  • Reliable service matters more than frequent switching.
  • Higher tiers can provide more protocol and backup choices.

  • Ask support with your device count, regions, and workload if unsure.

FAQ

Related questions

Do more nodes always mean more speed?+

No. More nodes improve choice and redundancy, but actual speed still depends on the local carrier, congestion, destination, and route.

Can I upgrade after purchase?+

Follow the upgrade and renewal options currently shown in the account center. Check remaining time, price difference, and new entitlements first.
