Global Internet Freedom Alliance

2026-08 We are now RoyalShield (formerly ViPiN). Your account, servers, pricing and setup are unchanged — no action needed. The name shown on payment pages and in emails is updated accordingly.
2026-08 Private network is now live: no server picking, no config changes — your devices connect directly for a faster, steadier link. We recommend it as your first choice; find it under "Private" in the top nav.
2026-09 New router firmware is out — please update. OpenVPN is back: download a profile, import it, and connect in one tap.
2026-09 Every page now ends with related guides — usage basics, common problems and fixes, and typical scenarios — to help you understand the VPN system and use it more smoothly.
2026-09 Hong Kong is back (ChatGPT and Claude are not available there — pick a Southeast Asia server if you need them). Iceland has been retired.

iOS: the app isn't in every App Store region

Tailscale isn't listed in the China App Store. It is available — and free — in the US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Singapore. Pick either route below.

Option 1: create a new free Apple Account (recommended — leaves your current one untouched)

  1. In the App Store, tap Get on any free app, then choose "Create New Apple Account"
  2. Pick US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan or Singapore, and enter an address in that region's format
  3. Set payment method to "None" — free apps need no payment details at all

Option 2: change the region of your existing Apple Account

  1. First spend your balance down to zero, cancel every subscription, leave Family Sharing, and let pre-orders and rentals finish
  2. Then go to account.apple.com → Personal Information → Country/Region and follow the prompts account.apple.com

⚠️ A region change may require a valid payment method for the new region and affects apps and subscriptions you already own. If you'd rather not touch your current account, use Option 1.

Tailscale · App Store

Phone & tablet

  1. Install Tailscale: on Android grab the package from the download section above; on iPhone / iPad use the App Store (needs a non-China Apple ID).
  2. ⚠️ If this device was ever signed in to a Tailscale account, tap the avatar and “Log Out” first — otherwise the option in the next step will not appear.
  3. Stay on the signed-out start screen, tap the “⋯” menu in the top right, choose “Use custom server” (some builds call it “Use an alternate server”), and enter the address above.
  4. Back on the start screen tap “Log in”. A browser opens — sign in with your RoyalShield account and confirm. You are in.

Windows / Linux

  1. Get the installer from the download section above — it's hosted here, no need to visit tailscale.com.
  2. ⚠️ If this device has ever signed in to a Tailscale account, run `tailscale logout` first (prefix with sudo on Linux) — otherwise the next command fails, because it would change a control-server setting that is already in place.
  3. Open a command line (PowerShell on Windows, Terminal on macOS / Linux) and run this (prefix with sudo on Linux):
    tailscale up --login-server=https://tsc.anyfq.com:18443
  4. A browser opens — sign in with your RoyalShield account and confirm. You're connected.

macOS

  1. Install it from the download section above — served directly by us, no need for the official site.
  2. Option-click the Tailscale icon in the menu bar (the next menu will not appear without holding Option), then go to Debug → Custom Login Server → Add Account… If you can't find “Custom Login Server”, click the icon → “Log Out” to sign out of the official account first, then try again.
  3. Enter the address above, click Add Account, and your browser will open — sign in with your RoyalShield account to confirm.

    The first time you connect Tailscale, macOS will ask you to approve a Network Extension — skip this and the icon just spins forever without connecting:

    macOS 15 Sequoia and later

    1. Open System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions.
    2. Scroll to the "Extensions" section at the bottom, switch the view to "By Category", and click the ⓘ next to "Network Extensions".
    3. Turn on the Tailscale toggle and enter your password or confirm with Touch ID when prompted.

    macOS 13 Ventura / 14 Sonoma

    1. Launch Tailscale once and click Connect — a "System Extension Blocked" alert will appear.
    2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to "System software from developer \"Tailscale Inc.\" was blocked from loading", click Allow, and enter your password.

Choosing an exit region

Phone & tablet — open the Tailscale app, tap the menu in the top-right, choose Exit Node, and pick a region. Switching takes effect immediately.

Windows / Linux — The Tailscale icon in the Windows tray or the macOS menu bar has an Exit Node submenu — one click, no commands. Or use the command line (prefix with sudo on Linux):

tailscale exit-node list
tailscale set --exit-node=<name>

Only one exit region is active at a time. To stop routing through an exit node, pick “None” in the app or menu, or run this (nothing after the equals sign):

tailscale set --exit-node=
