LetsVPN Install Guide for Every Platform (Windows / Android / iOS / Mac / TV)

The LetsVPN iOS version requires an Apple ID from a region outside mainland China, and you can find and download it in the Hong Kong App Store - this is in fact one of the officially recommended methods. It does not appear in the mainland China store because Apple lists it only outside mainland China. If you do not have a Hong Kong account, you can create one, or change the region of your existing Apple ID to Hong Kong (set the payment method to “None” and enter a phone number as 852 followed by 8 digits). After downloading, you can switch the region back to the mainland. If your account has an existing subscription, use another download method instead.

It hasn’t been taken down. It’s a region issue. Apple restricts LetsVPN to non-mainland-China storefronts, so as long as your Apple ID region is set to mainland China, you’ll get no search results or see "App Unavailable" even while you’re in Taiwan. The fix is to change your Apple ID region to a non-mainland one (such as Taiwan or Hong Kong): go to appleid.apple.com, then Personal Information, then Country or Region, then Change, then sign out of the App Store and sign back in, and you’ll be able to find it. After changing regions, just register and log in normally with an email plus password.

It’s normal that a mainland (China region) Apple ID can’t find it — officially the app is only listed outside the China region. You have two options: (1) Create a new Apple ID in a non-mainland region (such as Hong Kong), which requires a brand-new email that has never been used with Apple before; (2) Change the region of your existing Apple ID — sign in at appleid.apple.com, go to Personal Information - Country or Region - Change - choose Hong Kong, set the payment method to “None,” enter any Hong Kong billing address, enter a phone number as 852 plus 8 digits, then Update. Next, in the App Store, sign out and sign back in (choose “Sign In,” not “Done”); once you see Traditional Chinese content, it worked — search for LetsVPN and download it.

Any non-mainland-China Apple ID can generally find and download LetsVPN, and a Singapore account meets that condition (the reference material uses the Hong Kong region as an example; Singapore is likewise a non-mainland region and can download it, though the details should be confirmed by testing). You do not need to link a local card: the official region-change steps show you can set the payment method to None, and downloading a free app does not require a credit card. After downloading, just register and sign in within the app using an email plus a password.

The US region is outside mainland China and can download the app (the screenshots use the Hong Kong region as the example; the US works the same way, but the details should be confirmed by testing). Follow the official region-change procedure for the full steps: sign in at appleid.apple.com - Personal Information - Country or Region - Change - select the target region, set Payment Method to "None," enter any local billing address, and use the local phone format - Update - go to the App Store, sign out and sign back in (choose "Sign In," not "Done") - search for LetsVPN and download. Choosing "None" as the payment method means no credit card is required; after downloading you can switch your region back.

Downloading the LetsVPN app and your original iCloud are two separate things. The official method is to sign in at appleid.apple.com and change your existing Apple ID’s region to Hong Kong (set the payment method to “None” and enter a phone number as 852 plus 8 digits) to download, and after downloading you can switch the region back to mainland China. If your account has an existing subscription, the official advice is to use a different download method to avoid conflicts. If you instead create a separate Hong Kong Apple ID just for downloading, your original ID’s iCloud data is not affected. Be sure to follow the official tutorial exactly and avoid randomly changing settings.

For LetsVPN, we don’t recommend buying shared accounts of unknown origin. While the company has offered a public-account method, it openly admits clear risks: you may get a "two-factor verification" pop-up (because someone else linked their phone number), see a "Lost iPhone" device-lock prompt, or run into conflicts with an old version on your device. The more reliable official approach is to create your own Hong Kong Apple ID (about 1 minute, requiring a fresh email that has never registered with Apple), or change your existing ID’s region to Hong Kong to download and then change it back. Please don’t put your trust in unofficial accounts.

It’s because Apple restricts LetsVPN to be listed only outside the China region, so the China App Store will show it as unavailable or won’t find it. The official fix: change your existing Apple ID’s region to Hong Kong — sign in at appleid.apple.com - Personal Information - Country or Region - change it to Hong Kong, set the payment method to “None,” enter any Hong Kong billing address, enter a phone number as 852 plus any 8 digits - then Update. Next, in the App Store, sign out and sign back in (choose “Sign In”); once Traditional Chinese appears, it worked, and you’ll be able to find and download it. You can change the region back to the mainland after downloading.

Yes, after downloading LetsVPN with a foreign-region Apple ID you can switch back to your original ID to use it. If you changed your existing Apple ID region to Hong Kong to download it, the official guidance says you can change the region back to mainland China after downloading and keep using it, with the app still staying on your device. If you used a separate foreign-region Apple ID to download it, after downloading just sign out of that account in the App Store and sign back in with your original ID to use your other services normally. The only thing to watch: if your account already has an existing subscription, the company recommends using a different download method to avoid conflicts.

The key is not whether it has to be the US region, but that you must use an Apple ID from a region “outside mainland China” - Apple lists LetsVPN only outside mainland China, so in the mainland App Store you cannot find it or it shows App Unavailable. The most common approach in guides is to switch to the Hong Kong region; it does not have to be the US region, and if it can be found in the Malaysia App Store, you can download it directly there too. If your Apple ID is a mainland one, follow the official steps at appleid.apple.com to change the region to Hong Kong (set the payment method to “None”), then sign out of the App Store and sign back in before searching and downloading. Whether it is specifically listed in the Malaysia region needs hands-on verification.

Downloading on iPad works the same way as on iPhone, and you can use the same Apple ID. The condition is that this Apple ID must be in a non-mainland-China region (tutorials commonly use the Hong Kong region); otherwise the App Store won’t find the app. If your Apple ID is in the mainland region, first go to appleid.apple.com and change the region to Hong Kong (set the payment method to "None" and enter the phone number as 852 plus 8 digits), then sign out of the App Store and sign back in before searching for LetsVPN to download. After installing, log in with your registered email and password, and the iPad and iPhone share the same account and membership.

Yes, there is a requirement. The official download page lists the system requirement as iOS 14.0 or later, so iOS 13 usually can’t install the latest version of LetsVPN — we recommend upgrading your system to iOS 14 or later first, then installing. Before downloading, also remember to use a non-mainland-China Apple ID (tutorials commonly use the Hong Kong region), otherwise the App Store won’t find it. For reference, the minimum requirements on other platforms: Windows 10/11, macOS 10.15+, Android 8.0+. Whether an older system can install a historical older version isn’t covered by the materials and needs to be confirmed firsthand.

LetsVPN downloaded normally from the App Store is a properly published app, so following the official download process (searching and installing with a non-mainland-region Apple ID) usually does not require manually installing a profile or trusting an enterprise certificate. When the VPN connects for the first time, iOS will pop up an Allow VPN configurations authorization prompt on its own; just agree as prompted - this is a normal system authorization, not an enterprise certificate. If some source tells you to install a profile of unknown origin, raise your guard and only trust the official domain and the App Store channel. Whether any extra profile configuration is needed is not covered in the material and needs to be confirmed by testing.

For Android, LetsVPN recommends Google Play first (official package name world.letsgo.booster.android.pro). If you cannot find it in your region or you have no Google services, both the official site and the community point you to installing the APK directly, which you can get from mirrors such as APKPure, Aptoide, Uptodown, and APKCombo (these versions usually lag behind the official one). Before installing, you need to allow "unknown sources" in your system settings. Four steps to install: download the package - run the installer - sign in or register an account - pick a node and connect. For safety, prioritize the official domain and Google Play.

The LetsVPN materials don’t provide an official fix for the “App not installed” error, so the following is general, reliable common-sense advice that needs to be verified by testing: it’s most likely an incomplete APK or a version conflict. Try this: first allow “Unknown sources” in system settings, then install; uninstall the old or leftover version and reinstall; download a complete package from a different mirror (APKPure, Uptodown, or APKCombo); and confirm your Android version meets the official requirement (Android 8.0 or higher). The most reliable option is to install the official package world.letsgo.booster.android.pro from Google Play.

A note first: our materials only cover LetsVPN. LaoWang VPN is a different product, so verify that one on your own. Here is the general approach for installing a VPN-type APK (test to confirm): the risk warning usually appears because “unknown sources” is turned off or the app did not come from the store, and you can allow that install source under Settings - Allow unknown sources. But that only applies when the installer is from a trustworthy source. For LetsVPN specifically, only get the package from our site letsvpnshield.com or the official Google Play build, since third-party mirrors can carry bundled risks. If you are unsure of the source, do not force the install.

Before installing an APK from a non-store source, you need to allow “unknown sources” in your system settings. The general path (which varies slightly by manufacturer and model, so go by your own phone): Settings - Apps/Security - Special permissions - Install unknown apps - select the browser or file manager you used to download the APK - turn on “Allow from this source.” Newer Android versions mostly grant this per app rather than as a global switch. Once granted, tap the APK to install it. The prerequisite is that the installer comes from LetsVPN’s official domain or a reliable mirror.

Not finding the LetsVPN Android version in the Google Play Store does not necessarily mean the APK is your only option. The official Android version is indeed listed on Google Play (package name world.letsgo.booster.android.pro), but in some regions or environments without Google services it will not show up in search, and in that case both the official site and the community point you to installing the APK directly. You can download it from mirrors such as APKPure, Aptoide, Uptodown, and APKCombo, and during installation you need to allow "unknown sources" in your system settings. Note that third-party mirror versions usually lag behind the latest official version, so use the official channel when you can.

First allow installing apps from “Unknown sources” in system settings, then reinstall the APK; we recommend getting the install package from a reliable mirror (such as APKPure or Aptoide). After it’s installed, MIUI’s “background killing” also often causes the VPN to disconnect within minutes, so handle that as well: lock LetsVPN in the recent-tasks screen, set Settings - Battery & performance - App battery saver to “No restrictions” for it, lock the task in Security/cleaner, and enable “Auto-reconnect” in the app. This eases both the blocking and the disconnections.

Yes. When you have no Google services and cannot find the Play Store version, just install the APK directly. First, go to system Settings and allow app installation from “unknown sources,” then download and install the package from a mirror such as APKPure, Aptoide, Uptodown, or APKCombo. Note that mirror versions often lag behind the latest official version, and you should choose your install source carefully. After installing, if the system clears the app from the background and causes disconnects, remember to add LetsVPN to the battery-saver whitelist and lock the task in your battery settings.

On a Samsung phone, when installing the LetsVPN apk shows “Harmful app blocked,” this is usually the system’s “unknown sources” protection prompt. First, in Settings, allow installing apps from unknown sources (on Samsung, you can choose to allow that source in the prompt that appears at install time), then reinstall; we recommend getting the installer from a more reliable mirror such as APKPure or Aptoide to avoid sources that carry risks. Mirror versions are often behind the official one, so use the official channel when you can. (The materials don’t cover the specific path to turn off Samsung’s Google Play Protect; needs hands-on confirmation.)

It’s most likely the system blocking “install apps from unknown sources.” First, go into system settings and allow the “unknown sources” install permission for that browser/file manager, then retry installing the APK. Make sure the APK comes from this site, letsvpnshield.com, or a legitimate source; third-party mirror versions are often outdated and may fail to install due to signature/version issues. Android requires system version 8.0 or higher (go by the official site). We also recommend downloading from Google Play first (package name world.letsgo.booster.android.pro), which has a lower chance of install failure. Specific model restrictions need hands-on confirmation.
