IMPORTANT: VPNClient does not provide or sell VPN accounts. VPNClient is a connection app used by multiple independent VPN service providers. To use this app, you must already have an active VPN account from a provider that supports VPNClient. Your VPN provider will supply the username, password, or other login details required to connect. There is no sign-up or account creation option inside this app. If you downloaded VPNClient without receiving instructions or login details from your VPN provider, you will not be able to use the app. VPNClient allows existing customers of supported VPN providers to securely connect to their provider's VPN servers.
