Free trial on the website and in the Mini App

Where to activate the free trial, who can get it, how the Mini App differs, what happens when it ends and how to switch to a plan.

The free trial is a no-cost subscription to try the VPN on your own devices. Its length, device count and traffic are shown on the "Try VPN for free" card.

How to activate#

  1. Open "Overview". If you have no subscriptions and the trial is available to you, you'll see the "Getting started" card with the "Start the free trial" step. If you've dismissed that card with the cross, the "Try VPN for free" card is shown instead.

  2. Tap "Start for free" (on the "Try VPN for free" card — "Activate trial").

  3. Connect. In the "Trial activated" window, tap "Open subscription" — your subscription page opens with instructions for your device.

No channel subscription is needed.

Conditions#

  • The trial is given once. If your Telegram is linked to your account, the bot, the website and the Mini App share one trial: once used in one place, it won't appear in another.

  • You can't get it if you've already bought a subscription. Nor can you get it after deleting an account that already had a trial or a subscription — when signing up again with the same email or Google account.

  • The trial includes a starter set of locations; the Premium plan is not included.

  • If Telegram is linked to your account (always the case in the Mini App), don't stop the @ResetVPN_bot bot: stopping the bot deletes the trial subscription.

Switching to a plan#

On the trial card, tap "Choose a plan" — the "Switch to a plan" window opens. Pick a plan, devices and period, then pay. The plan's term starts when you pay; remaining trial hours don't carry over. If you switch to "VPN", you don't need to set up your apps again.

In the Mini App, if your balance is short, it's easier to top up in "Balance" first, then tap "Choose a plan" → "Pay from balance".

When it ends#

Six hours before the end, the card reminds you that the trial is ending soon (if no device is connected yet, it suggests messaging support). Once it ends, the trial subscription is deleted right away and can't be renewed. "Overview" then shows "Your free trial has ended" with a "Choose a plan" button: get a subscription and it connects right after payment. You'll need to add the new subscription's link to your app again.

If something goes wrong#

There's no free trial in "Overview"

The trial has already been used (including in the bot), you've already bought a subscription, you previously deleted an account with this email that had a trial or a subscription, or the trial isn't being offered right now. Get a subscription instead — see Buying a subscription on the website and in the Mini App.

"Failed to activate trial"

Try again a bit later. If the error persists, message "Support". If you're not subscribed to the channel in the Mini App, you'll get the "Subscribe to our channel" window instead of an error.
