Recently, many friends have asked me what I use to circumvent the firewall. After I recommended AoxVPN, the other party will most likely ask: "How does this thing work?" Come to think of it, people who have never used a VPN are really a little confused when they open it for the first time. So I’ll just write a tutorial and drop the link directly in the future, so I don’t have to type it again every time 😂
I have been using AoxVPN for almost a year. I rely on it for daily watching YouTube, browsing Twitter, and checking information. To be honest, the stability is better than several others I have used before. Now I will go through the complete process from scratch, just follow it, it really takes 3 minutes to get it done.
Step one: Go to the official website to register an account
Open your browser and search for "AoxVPN official website" to find it, or you can directly enter the address of the AoxVPN website. After entering the homepage, there is a "Register" button in the upper right corner, click it.
To register, fill in your email and password and follow the normal process. Here’s a little suggestion – don’t make your password too simple. After all, this account is linked to your online privacy, so there’s no harm in being more secure. After registering, you will receive a verification email. Click the link inside to activate it.
It took me less than a minute to register, which was faster than registering on some shopping websites.
Step 2: Download the client
After logging in to your account, the page will automatically recommend the corresponding download version based on the device you are using. AoxVPN supports a wide range of systems, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Take myself as an example. I use both Mac and iPhone, so just install one on each side. The same goes for Android phones. Go directly to the AoxVPN official website to download the APK installation package. For iOS, just search it in the App Store, but the name may be different from what you think. It is most reliable to jump to it from the AoxVPN website to avoid copycats.
The download speed is very fast, and the client itself is not large, only a few dozen MB.
Step 3: Installation
There’s really nothing to say about this step, it’s just the “next step” along the way.
Double-click the installation package on Windows, drag it to the application folder on Mac, and install it with one click on your phone. There is no need to change any settings during the entire process, the default ones are enough.
I didn’t encounter any pop-up blocking or permission errors when installing. This is much better than some VPNs - some clients will be blocked by anti-virus software during installation, which takes a long time. AoxVPN does this very cleanly.
Step 4: Log in and connect
After installation, open the client and log in with the account you just registered. After successfully logging in, you will see a very simple interface with a huge connect button in the middle, which is particularly eye-catching.
Click the button and wait two or three seconds until the button turns green or displays "Connected", and you're done! Yes, it's that simple.
When I connected for the first time, I couldn't believe it - is this the end? Yes, that's it. The default settings of AoxVPN will automatically select the fastest node for you. Novices can just connect directly without worrying about those fancy options.
After connecting, you can try opening the browser and visit Google or YouTube to see if it can be opened normally.
Step 5: Select nodes (advanced operation)
The default automatic node selection is sufficient, but sometimes you want to manually select one. For example, if you want to watch Netflix in Japan, you have to choose the Japanese node; if you want to watch Netflix in the United States, you have to choose the American node.
Click the node list or region selection in the client, and a bunch of countries and regions will appear. AoxVPN’s node coverage is quite wide, covering Asia, North America, and Europe.
Let me share some experiences on node selection:
- Daily surfing the Internet: Choose Asian nodes, low latency and fast speed. Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore are all good
- Watch streaming media: Select the node in the region you want to watch. For example, for Netflix in the United States, select the United States.
- If a node is slow: Try another one, the speed of each node will fluctuate in different periods.
I usually connect to the Hong Kong node, and the latency is so low that I barely notice it. I browse the web and watch videos smoothly. Occasionally, when I watch US content and then switch to the US node, it is very convenient to switch back, it only takes two or three seconds.
Frequently asked questions
After using it for so long, I have encountered some minor problems. Here are the solutions:
What should I do if I can’t connect? First try changing the node. If it still doesn't work, switch the protocol (you can change it in the client settings). Usually it will be fine after changing. If it doesn't work, exit the client and reopen it.
What should I do if the speed is slow? There is a high probability that the node is selected far away. Try switching to an Asian node that is closer to you. Another possibility is that you are downloading large files, which fills up your bandwidth, and a VPN cannot save you 😂
How to use it on mobile phone? The process is the same as on the computer. Download the mobile client from the AoxVPN official website, log in and connect, and that's it. For iOS, remember to allow adding VPN configuration in the settings. A confirmation box will pop up, just click Allow.
write at the end
After using AoxVPN overall, I think the biggest advantage is peace of mind. The registration is simple, the installation is pit-free, and the connection is done with one click. It is especially friendly to novices. And the stability is really good. I have been using it for almost a year, and I can count the number of disconnections on one hand.
If you are still wondering which VPN to use, you might as well check out the AoxVPN website and try the free version first. It doesn't cost any money anyway, just use it and uninstall it.
