How Many Devices Can One Account Connect?
The short answer first: plans here aren’t tiered by device count — one account covers unlimited devices. Phones, tablets, laptops and desktops can be signed in at the same time, with no second purchase for the extra device and no “how many at once” tier difference.
In a multi-device setup this matters more than the unit price. Per-device plans push you into a pricier tier as devices pile up, or into a second account — and then you’re managing two or three subscriptions, remembering who’s on which and which one renews when.
What counts as a device: a phone, a tablet and a computer each count as one; reinstalling the client on the same device isn’t a new device, but the subscription has to be imported again. Clients cover Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux — sign in, grab the subscription from the dashboard and import it into the matching client. On desktop there’s global proxy and split routing; on mobile, the system asks you to allow a VPN configuration the first time you connect.
For a house with a lot of devices there’s an advanced option: import the subscription into supported router firmware so every device goes through one route and per-device setup is skipped. The prerequisite is firmware that supports the relevant client form — get the route working on a single computer first, then touch the router, so it’s easier to tell which layer is failing if something goes wrong.

Family sharing explained: devices aren’t the limit, data is
One account maps to one data pool, shared by every device. The 60GB, 250GB and 500GB monthly plans are account-level totals, not 60GB per device. So the cost of a family setup isn’t headcount × price — it’s total data ÷ total household usage.
Estimate by usage type: for browsing, work, chat and the occasional show, 60GB usually holds up across one or two devices; once several devices are streaming 4K, syncing cloud drives and pulling large downloads at the same time, 60GB runs out faster than you’d expect. In that case go straight to 250GB or 500GB — no weekly staring at the remaining balance, and no topping up just because someone watched a few more shows that month.
What happens when you hit the limit? There’s no device cap, so the only limit you can hit is data. Once data runs out, routes stop working, and there are three ways to handle it: wait for the next reset date (monthly plans reset on the activation date each month), add a data pack (used until it’s gone, never expires), or move the monthly plan up to a larger tier (the difference is prorated by remaining days).
If someone at home only uses it occasionally (a parent opening it a few times a month, say), a data pack beats a second monthly subscription: used until it’s gone, never expires, and no reset to zero at month end.
Multi-device use: three pitfalls to watch for
Passing the subscription link around the family chat
A subscription link works the moment it’s imported into a client — it’s equivalent to account access, not an ordinary URL you can forward. Posting it in a family chat, saving it in a shared note or committing it to a public repo hands the account to everyone who can see it.
The safer pattern: each device signs in to the dashboard and pulls its own subscription. When you set up a parent’s device, delete the link from the chat afterwards. If a link does leak, change the password first, then have everyone sign in and re-import.
Each device connecting to a different region
Phone on Japan, laptop on the US, tablet on Hong Kong — to services that watch sign-in locations (streaming, online banking, email), that looks like one account active in three places at once, and a second verification prompt is no surprise.
Agree on one primary region at home and keep everything on it day to day; switch over temporarily when you need content from a specific region, then switch back. Also, if the system DNS has been changed by hand or another proxy tool is still installed on a device, you can end up with a DNS leak — it shows up as “connected, but resolution still happens locally”. To check, open the network check page after connecting and see whether the exit IP and DNS resolution follow the same route.
One password for the whole household, still active after people leave
Sign-up needs no email address — username plus password is the whole credential. The upside is not having to set up a mailbox first; the trade-off is that once the password is out, changing it is the only way to take it back.
Keep the family password in one place (a written record or a password manager) and update it whenever someone joins. Before a roommate moves out, a kid changes phones or a device changes hands, change the password and have everyone sign in again. It takes a few minutes and avoids the murky state where a former member’s device is still connected.
Think it through before sharing an account: data is shared, and so is consumption. One device running a big download eats the household allowance, and the end of the month may come up short.
Which plan specs matter for multi-device use
It’s easy to shop on price alone for a multi-device plan. Four things actually shape the experience: whether the data pool is account-level, how billing resets, whether the routes are enough, and whether the refund policy leaves room to experiment.
| Plan | Price | Data | Billing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly · 60GB | ¥9.9 / month | 60GB | Resets monthly on the activation date | One or two devices, mostly browsing, work and chat |
| Monthly · 250GB | ¥18 / month | 250GB | Resets monthly on the activation date | A family of three with phones, laptops and tablets always on |
| Monthly · 500GB | ¥28 / month | 500GB | Resets monthly on the activation date | Many devices, regular 4K, someone working remotely |
| Data pack · 300GB | ¥158 | 300GB | Used until it’s gone, never expires | A one-off setup for parents, or a backup for travel |
| Data pack · 1000GB | ¥358 | 1000GB | Used until it’s gone, never expires | Irregular usage — heavy some weeks, light others |
| Data pack · 3000GB | ¥658 | 3000GB | Used until it’s gone, never expires | Devices always connected; easier to manage by total volume |
The column most often overlooked is billing. Monthly plans reset on the activation date each month, which suits a household that’s online every day; data packs are used until they’re gone and never expire, which suits irregular usage. They’re two different usage patterns, not a cheaper-versus-dearer ranking.
- ✅ Start with the data pool: 60GB / 250GB / 500GB are account-level totals consumed by every device together, not one allowance per device.
- ✅ Then look at billing: monthly plans reset on the activation date each month; data packs are used until they’re gone and never expire.
- ✅ No device math: unlimited devices, so one more phone doesn’t cost more.
- ✅ Keep room to experiment: 30-day no-questions refund, so start on one tier for a week before deciding whether to upgrade.
- ❌ Don’t buy one plan per person: data isn’t shared between accounts, so whatever’s left on each one is wasted.
- ❌ Don’t forward a subscription link like an ordinary URL: importing it is the same as holding account access.
The 30-day no-questions refund exists to give you room to experiment: start on one tier for a week, watch what the household actually consumes, then decide whether to move up to 250GB or 500GB. Upgrades are prorated by remaining days, so what you’ve already paid isn’t lost.
The setup order for a family account
-
Pick one primary region
Have everyone connect to the same region — Hong Kong, Singapore or Japan, anything nearby. Don’t switch back and forth day to day; fewer sign-in location jumps means fewer second-verification prompts.
-
Get the main device working first
Sign in on one computer or phone, pull the subscription, import it, connect, and run through the sites and services you use most. Only move on once that checks out.
-
Then roll out to the other devices
Import on the phone, the tablet, then another computer. Open a page right after each import to verify — don’t configure everything and then work backwards to find which device broke.
-
Agree on routing rules
On desktop, set up split routing as needed: domestic sites direct, overseas sites through the proxy, so work apps and meetings don’t get caught in it. On mobile, if family members don’t want to fiddle, routing everything through the proxy is simpler.
-
Review usage after a week
Check the dashboard for how much data the week consumed, compare it against the 60GB / 250GB / 500GB tiers, and decide whether to stay, upgrade, or add a data pack.
A few common questions
How many devices can one account run at the same time?
Unlimited. Plans aren’t tiered by device count; phones, tablets and computers can be online at once, and one more device doesn’t cost extra. The real constraint is data, not devices.
Is 60GB enough for three people?
Depends on usage. For browsing, work and chat, 60GB usually holds up for three people; if 4K streaming, downloads or large file syncs are routine, go straight to 250GB. If you’re unsure, start on 60GB for a week and upgrade based on actual consumption — upgrades are prorated by remaining days.
What happens when the data runs out?
Routes stop working. Three options: wait for the next reset date, add a data pack (used until it’s gone, never expires), or move the monthly plan up a tier. Device count isn’t affected — no need to remove devices to save data.
Do I need a new plan when I change phones or add a computer?
No. The account has no device cap; sign in on the new device, pull the subscription and import it. If the old device is retired, sign out or uninstall the client — it doesn’t affect the others.
Can it run on a router so the whole household shares it?
It depends on whether the router firmware supports the relevant client form. If it does, every device in the house goes through one route and you configure it once; but it’s still the same account and the same data pool, so more devices means faster consumption. Confirm the route works on a single computer before touching the router.
