Frequently asked questions
Before you top up
Is UpVPN really a one-time payment VPN?
Yes. The pay-as-you-go plan is prepaid rather than a subscription. You make a one-time credit purchase, and session charges are deducted from that balance as you use the VPN. Add more credit only when you choose.
Does my prepaid VPN balance expire?
No. Your UpVPN prepaid balance does not expire, so it can remain available between trips or other occasional uses.
How is each VPN session priced?
Each successful session has a 5¢ base charge, plus 4¢ per GB of data transfer and 2¢ per hour of session duration.
Is pay-as-you-go or yearly pricing better for me?
Pay-as-you-go is designed for light or occasional use. If you connect frequently or use a lot of data, UpVPN's unlimited yearly plan may offer better value.
Which devices can I use with UpVPN?
UpVPN supports iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux, with modern WireGuard-based VPN connections.
