🇬🇧 Zapret VPN in English
In short
Zapret VPN is a personal VPN that works in Russia. You buy it in the Telegram bot @zapretvpns_bot, get one link, paste it into a VPN app once — and the app gets all your servers from it. The bot is in Russian, so below every button is quoted exactly as it appears in the bot, with a translation in brackets.
Bot language. The bot picks its language from your Telegram language by itself. To choose it manually, send /language or open «⚙️ Настройки» (Settings) → «🌐 Язык / Language».
The whole path in four steps
| Step | Where | What to tap | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Top up the balance | bot | «💳 Подписка и баланс» (Plan and balance) → «💰 Пополнить» (Top up) → amount → pay | money on your bot balance |
| 2. Buy a plan | bot | «🛒 Купить / продлить» (Buy / renew) → plan → period → confirm | an active plan |
| 3. Get your link | bot | «🚀 Подключить устройство» (Connect a device) → «🌐 Весь интернет (VPN)» (Whole internet) → your device → the subscription button | a link https://… |
| 4. Turn on the VPN | app | add the link as a subscription, pick a server, connect | a working VPN |
If you don’t know which plan to take — take 💎 Vless MAX (199 ₽ a month): it has 15 servers instead of 2 and all Telegram proxies.
Step 1. Top up the balance
- Open @zapretvpns_bot and tap «Запустить» (Start).
- Tap «💳 Подписка и баланс» (Plan and balance), then «💰 Пополнить» (Top up).
- Choose an amount or type it in digits, for example
199. - Tap the payment button, open the link it gives and pay with SBP (Russia’s fast payment system) in your bank app.
- Come back to the bot: the money arrives by itself within seconds. If nothing changed after a minute, tap «🔄 Проверить оплату» (Check payment).
Step 2. Buy a plan
- On the same screen tap «🛒 Купить / продлить» (Buy / renew).
- Choose a plan — 💎 Vless MAX if unsure — then the period.
- Confirm. The bot answers «✅ Подписка успешно оформлена!» (Plan activated) and shows the next step.
Step 3. Get your link
- In the main menu tap the green button «🚀 Подключить устройство» (Connect a device).
- Tap «🌐 Весь интернет (VPN)» (Whole internet). («✈️ Только Telegram» means Telegram only — a proxy inside Telegram.)
- Choose your device. The bot names the app to install and gives one button for your link:
| Your device | Install | Tap in the bot |
|---|---|---|
| 🤖 Android | ZapretKVN, file …-arm64-v8a.apk | «🔗 Получить Xray-подписку» (Get Xray subscription) |
| 🍏 iPhone, iPad | Clash Mi | «🧭 Получить Mihomo-подписку» (Get Mihomo subscription) |
| 🪟 Windows | Zapret KVN | «🔗 Получить Xray-подписку» (Get Xray subscription) |
| 💻 Mac, Linux | Clash Verge Rev | «🧭 Получить Mihomo-подписку» (Get Mihomo subscription) |
- The bot shows a card with your link
https://…. Tap the link — Telegram copies it.
The link is personal
Anyone with your link can use your VPN. Do not post it in chats or show it on screenshots. If it leaked, open the subscription card → «⋯ Ещё» (More) → «♻️ Сменить ссылку» (Change link).
Step 4. Turn on the VPN
- Open the app and add the link as a subscription: in ZapretKVN for Android «Серверы» → «Ссылка» → paste; in Zapret KVN for Windows — add a subscription by link; in Clash apps — «Profiles» → add by URL.
- If the server list is empty, refresh the subscription.
- Pick a server and press the big connect button. Android and iPhone ask for VPN permission the first time — allow it.
- Check: open YouTube or a site that does not open without a VPN.
On Windows, Zapret KVN has two modes. «VPN (TUN)» sends the whole computer through the VPN — choose it if unsure. «Прокси» (Proxy) covers only programs that use the system proxy.
Telegram
Our Telegram client ZaStoGram (Android and Windows) bypasses the Telegram block by itself, without a VPN. With the VPN on, the regular Telegram works too.
