P2VPN for Windows
P2VPN provides the subscription. A compatible third-party app connects your device to the VPN servers.
What you need
- A Windows computer that meets the system requirements for the current version of the VPN app.
- Working internet access and an active P2VPN subscription or trial.
- Your personal subscription link from your P2VPN account.
Install a compatible VPN client
Install INCY (recommended) or Happ for your device. Open your subscription page in My account and add the subscription to the app you installed.
INCY Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux) · pre-alpha
Copy your P2VPN subscription link
Open your account, then your subscription page. For manual import, copy the complete personal link without adding spaces or removing characters.
If your link is on another device, transfer it privately to your own computer. Do not paste it into a public online tool to make a QR code or shorten the address.
Import the subscription
Open the add-subscription control
In the VPN app you chose, open the option to add a subscription from a URL or the clipboard. Paste the full subscription link and confirm.
Load the configuration
Confirm the import and wait for the server list. If the app cannot load the configuration from your subscription link, check that the internet works without the VPN, then try the backup subscription link provided by P2VPN.
Choose a route
Select a P2VPN server from the imported list. Keep the imported settings unless support or the client’s documentation tells you to change them.
Enable VPN: system proxy or TUN
A desktop client may offer system proxy and tunnel (TUN) modes. System proxy is used by applications that honor the operating system’s proxy settings. Some applications use their own networking and may not follow it.
TUN uses a virtual network interface to route traffic, subject to the client’s routing rules and exclusions. Follow the client’s instructions and approve any required system permission prompt. Do not assume that every connection is included just because TUN is on.
Choose the mode appropriate for your apps, select a server and start the connection. If changing modes, disconnect first and reconnect after the change.
Check the connection
Check the connected status, then open a website and a desktop application you want to route through P2VPN. Test the actual application as well as the browser, especially when using system proxy.
If the page loads, your browser can reach that site. Test the apps you want to use separately. See the security guide for DNS and routing limits.
Troubleshooting on Windows
The browser works, but another app does not
Check whether the app honors system proxy. If the client supports TUN, consult its instructions for that mode and review any routing exclusions. Do not change security software settings just to make a connection work.
TUN mode fails to start
Read the client’s error and check whether its required system permission was granted. Disconnect another active VPN, restart the client and retry. Contact support if it still fails; do not disable your firewall as a general workaround.
The subscription configuration will not update, or the VPN will not connect
Check that access is active in your account and that your internet connection works. Refresh the subscription in your VPN app. Use your backup link if the main subscription page is unavailable.
Internet stops after closing the client
Reopen the app and disconnect using its disconnect control so it can undo the connection settings it applied. If the problem remains, ask support to help check the proxy or tunnel state. Include your Windows version, client version and redacted error text.
