Alright, I know you clicked in to find the answer: how to use LetsVPN to bypass the firewall? Don't worry, today I'm giving you the real deal, no fluff. I've been using LetsVPN for over two years, from 2024 to now, and I've stepped into many pitfalls and summarized the most stable operation flow. Follow these 10 steps, and you'll be connected within 10 minutes with decent speed.
Step 1: The Right Way to Download LetsVPN
Many people get stuck at the first step because the official website is sometimes inaccessible. Don't panic, I'll teach you a reliable trick: directly access LetsVPN's official mirror site via your phone browser (I'll list the addresses below). In 2026, they added 3 backup domains, just try one of them. Remember, never download from third-party sites—they're all infected with malware.
- Official main site: letsvpn.com (may be blocked)
- Backup 1: letsvpn.xyz
- Backup 2: letsvpn.top
- Backup 3: letsvpn.io
After downloading, install it directly. Android users should allow installation from unknown sources, while iOS users can search for "LetsVPN" in the App Store, but it may have been removed from the China region in 2026, so you'll need to switch to a US Apple ID.
Step 2: Registration and Plan Selection
After installation, open the app and click "Register." Use an email address, not a phone number, as domestic phone numbers won't receive verification codes. After registration, choose a plan: LetsVPN offers a 3-day free trial—just click that, it's free. For long-term use, I recommend the quarterly plan, which costs 99 yuan for 3 months in 2026, 30% cheaper than the monthly plan.
Here's a pitfall: the free trial will auto-renew, so if you don't want to continue, remember to turn off auto-renewal in settings 24 hours before the trial ends.
Step 3: Connecting to a Server—Choose the Right Node for Double Speed
After logging in, you'll see a list of nodes. The most common mistake beginners make is selecting "Auto Connect," which might connect to a US node with painfully slow speed. The correct approach is to run a speed test first. The 2026 version of LetsVPN has a built-in speed test feature—click the "Speed Test" button in the top right corner, and it will automatically find the node with the lowest latency. Generally, Hong Kong nodes have the lowest latency (20-50ms), followed by Japan (50-80ms), and the US is the slowest (150ms+).
I usually choose a Hong Kong node for watching Netflix, with download speeds up to 30Mbps, smooth for 4K. If I'm just searching on Google, a Japan node is sufficient.
Step 4: Fixing Connection Failures and Disconnections
Some users report that they can connect but can't open web pages, or the connection drops intermittently. This is usually a DNS issue. Go to LetsVPN's settings, find "DNS Settings," and change it to "8.8.8.8" and "1.1.1.1." In 2026, LetsVPN defaults to automatic DNS, but due to the complex domestic network environment, manually changing it can improve stability. Additionally, if you're using China Mobile broadband, enable the "Protocol Obfuscation" feature to bypass the ISP's QoS throttling.
Step 5: Multi-Device Simultaneous Connection—Share with the Whole Family
LetsVPN supports up to 5 devices simultaneously, which is very practical. You can install it on your phone, computer, and even flash it onto your router. In 2026, they updated the router plugin—just install the "LetsVPN" OpenWrt plugin on your router's backend, and all devices in your home will automatically bypass the firewall. The specific tutorial is available in the help center on the LetsVPN official website; I tried it, and it took 10 minutes.
Step 6: Daily Maintenance and Speed Optimization
After a month of use, you might notice the speed slowing down. Don't panic—it's not a problem with LetsVPN, but rather high node load. Simply manually switch nodes once a week, e.g., from Hong Kong A to Hong Kong B, and the speed will recover. Additionally, in 2026, LetsVPN introduced a "Smart Acceleration" feature—turn it on, and it will automatically select the optimal node for you, saving you the hassle.
Finally, a reminder: don't use LetsVPN for illegal activities like vote rigging or data scraping, as your account will be banned. For normal activities like watching videos or searching for information, it's perfectly fine.
