Getting Started with The Iron Veil

Pick a username for your VPN account, 3 to 32 characters: letters, numbers, dashes and underscores, no spaces. It is checked as you type so you never pick one that is taken.

Choose how often to pay, apply a promo code if you have one, and pay. Your VPN account is ready right away, and your username, password and app download links are emailed to you.

Get the app for your device:

Android: Download for Android (Phones and tablets)

Android TV & Fire TV: TV download (In the free Downloader app, enter code 7572504)

Mac: Download for Mac (macOS 12 or later, Apple and Intel)

Windows: Download for Windows (Windows 10 and 11)

iPhone & iPad: Coming soon to the App Store

Linux & other devices: Get a settings file (WireGuard settings file)

1. Install the app for your device.
2. Open it and sign in with your VPN username and password.
3. Pick a location, or keep the nearest one.
4. Press Connect. The first time, your device asks you to allow the VPN: choose Allow or OK.

Mac: drag VPN Portal onto Applications and open it from there. The first time you connect, switch VPN Portal on under Network Extensions in System Settings, then press Connect again and choose Allow.

Windows: if Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", choose More info, then Run anyway.

TV: install the free Downloader app, open it and type the code 7572504 (or the address vpnportal.app/tv).

The app picks the location nearest to you for the fastest speed. To appear in another country, pick a location there from the list.

The app connects with WireGuard, the fastest type, and switches to OpenVPN by itself if WireGuard is blocked on your network. There is nothing to set up.

Turn on Auto-connect in the app so it connects by itself, without pressing Connect.

Your account works on up to 10 devices at the same time. Install the app on your phone, computer, tablet and TV and sign in with the same username and password.

1. Install the free WireGuard app from wireguard.com/install.
2. On vpnportal.app, sign in with your VPN username and password, choose a location and press Make my settings file, then download it.
3. In WireGuard choose Import tunnel(s) from file, pick the file and press Activate.

Each settings file is for one device and counts as one of your 10 devices. Keep it private.

Strong encryption: WireGuard or OpenVPN on every connection.

Servers in 14 countries: 27 servers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Unlimited data: no data cap.

10 devices: one login for all your devices.

Privacy: we do not record the websites you visit, the apps you use, your DNS lookups or your traffic. Connection records (your username, the address you connect from, the server, start and end time and data used) are kept up to 7 days to enforce the device limit and stop abuse, then deleted.

Not allowed: BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer file sharing, and sending email directly from your device (port 25), are blocked on every server.

1. Pick a location closer to you.
2. Check your internet speed with the VPN off.
3. Disconnect and connect again.

1. Check your username and password. They are in your welcome email and in My Account on this store.
2. Check in My Account that your VPN is active. A suspended or expired VPN cannot connect until it is renewed.
3. Try another location.
4. Close the app fully and open it again.
5. On Mac, make sure VPN Portal is switched on under Network Extensions in System Settings.

Your login is in use on 10 devices. Disconnect the VPN on one of them and try again.

How many devices can I use? Up to 10 at the same time with one account.

Where is my password? In the email you got when you bought the VPN (check spam too), and in My Account on this store.

Is there an iPhone app? It is coming soon to the App Store.

Can I download torrents? No. Peer-to-peer file sharing is blocked on all servers.

Will it unblock streaming services? Many work, but access to any specific streaming service is not guaranteed.

What happens if I cancel? The VPN keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
