One VPN Subscription for a Phone, a Computer and a TV: How Many Devices, How to Add Them and How to Move to a New Phone
In short: in ProxysVPN the subscription is an account, and it holds as many devices as you need, up to 100. Each device is its own card in the dashboard, with its own sign-in code and its own payment: the Basic plan is taken from the shared balance by the day, PRO is paid at once for 30 days. A new phone is not a new device: reset the binding of the old one and sign in on the new one, and the paid period and PRO are kept.
How devices work
| How it works | |
|---|---|
| How many devices | Up to 100 on one account |
| One device | One phone, computer or TV and one app on it |
| Basic plan | $1.50 a month per device, taken from the balance by the day; Europe and the USA, up to 50 GB a month in the USA |
| PRO | $3.00 for 30 days per device, or as a pack: 3 for $8.10 or 5 for $12.00; more countries, and the USA with no traffic limit |
| A second device and further ones | Added once the balance reaches a minimum, which the dashboard shows |
| Signing in to the app | Every device has its own 8-character code |
- You pay for the devices on the list. A Basic device takes money every day while it is on the list — even if the VPN on it is off. Delete the one you no longer need and its charges stop.
- One device, one app. If one phone needs both ProxysVPN and Happ, that is two devices in the dashboard.
- The balance is shared. You top up once, and all the Basic devices of the account spend from it.
How to add a device
- 1In the dashboard press “Add a device”.
- 2On the “Which device are you connecting?” screen choose the device type and the plan — “Basic” or PRO.
- 3Install the ProxysVPN app on that device: the download buttons for every device — Android, iPhone and iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux, Apple TV, Steam Deck and headsets.
- 4On the device card press “Code for the app”; in the app choose “Enter a code from the website”, type the code and press “Connect”.
A TV or a computer, without typing a code
Typing a code with a remote is awkward, so there is a second way. Open ProxysVPN on the TV or the computer: on the sign-in screen it shows a QR code. In the dashboard on your phone, press ⋯ on the device card → “Scan the code in the ProxysVPN app” → “Scan QR from the screen” and point the camera at it: the app on that screen signs in by itself.
How to move the VPN to a new phone
- 1Install ProxysVPN on the new phone.
- 2In the dashboard, on the old phone's card, press ⋯ → “Reset device binding” and confirm. The old phone keeps working until the new one connects, then disconnects by itself.
- 3Press “Code for the app” on the same device and sign in with the code on the new phone.
- 4Rename the device if the old phone is still in its name: ⋯ → “Rename”.
If you reinstalled the app on the same phone, the order is the same: “Reset device binding” and a new code. If you are connecting a relative from a distance, see how to set up a VPN for your parents.
What it costs
The app itself is free; what you pay for is the subscription: $1.50 per device per month, taken from your balance, with nothing charged to your card automatically. Top-ups start at $5. An account opened on the Russian site is priced in roubles instead: an account keeps the currency it was opened in, whatever card tops it up. Every device on the account is charged separately, so two phones and a laptop on the Basic plan are three charges.
Can I put one link or one code on two phones?
No: one device in the dashboard is one device and one app. For a second phone add a second device; it gets its own code.
Is money taken while the VPN is off?
On the Basic plan, yes — every day while the device is on the list. To stop the charges, delete the device in the dashboard.
It says “only one device” or “the link is taken”. What do I do?
This device's link is already in use somewhere else. In the dashboard, on the device, press ⋯ → “Reset device binding”, then sign in again on the phone you want.
Can I switch a device to PRO later?
Yes: on the device card, ⋯ → “Switch to PRO”. PRO is taken at once, for 30 days.
What happens to the balance if I delete every device?
The balance stays on the account; you can spend it on a new device later.
