Create Your Account
Create Your OrbVPN Account
Register in seconds with email magic link authentication or sign in instantly with Apple or Google. No passwords to remember, no forms to fill out.
Authentication Methods
OrbVPN offers three ways to create your account and sign in. Choose the method that works best for you.
Email Magic Link
Enter your email and receive a one-time sign-in link. Tap the link to authenticate instantly. No password needed.
Sign in with Apple
Use your Apple ID for seamless authentication. Available on iOS, macOS, and all other platforms with an Apple account.
Sign in with Google
Authenticate with your Google account in one tap. Fast, secure, and works across all platforms.
Method 1: Email Magic Link
The magic link method is our recommended registration approach. It eliminates passwords entirely, reducing the risk of credential theft and simplifying your sign-in experience.
Open OrbVPN
Launch the OrbVPN app on your device. If this is your first time opening the app, you will see the welcome screen with sign-in options.
Tap Sign In or Create Account
On the welcome screen, tap the Sign In button. If you do not have an account yet, the same flow will create one for you automatically.
Enter Your Email Address
Type your email address in the email field. Make sure it is an email you have access to, as the magic link will be sent there.
Tap Send Magic Link
Tap the Send Magic Link button. OrbVPN will send a one-time authentication link to your email address. The link is valid for 10 minutes.
Check Your Email
Open your email inbox and look for a message from OrbVPN with the subject 'Your OrbVPN Sign-In Link'. The email arrives within seconds.
Tap the Magic Link
Open the email and tap the sign-in link. This will redirect you back to the OrbVPN app and authenticate you automatically. You are now signed in.
Magic Link Not Arriving?
Check your spam or junk folder. If the email does not arrive within a minute, tap Resend on the waiting screen. Make sure you entered the correct email address. Some corporate email filters may delay delivery.
How Magic Links Work
Magic links use time-limited, single-use tokens sent to your verified email. Once you tap the link, the token is consumed and cannot be reused. This approach is more secure than traditional passwords because there is no credential to steal or phish.
Method 2: Sign in with Apple
Apple Sign-In provides a privacy-focused authentication method with the option to hide your real email address.
Open OrbVPN
Launch the app and navigate to the sign-in screen. You will see the social sign-in options below the email field.
Tap Sign in with Apple
Tap the Apple button. The standard Apple ID authentication sheet will appear, handled securely by your operating system.
Choose Your Email Preference
Apple gives you two options: share your real email address with OrbVPN, or use Apple's private relay email (Hide My Email). Both options work perfectly.
Authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID
Confirm your identity using Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password. Once authenticated, you are signed into OrbVPN.
Hide My Email
If you choose Apple's Hide My Email option, Apple generates a unique random email address that forwards to your real inbox. OrbVPN will never see your actual email address. You can manage these relay addresses in your Apple ID settings.
Method 3: Sign in with Google
Google Sign-In offers a fast authentication path for users with a Google account.
Open OrbVPN
Launch the app and navigate to the sign-in screen. Look for the Google sign-in button alongside other social options.
Tap Sign in with Google
Tap the Google button. A Google authentication window will appear where you can select or enter your Google account.
Select Your Google Account
If you have multiple Google accounts on your device, choose the one you want to associate with OrbVPN. If you are not already signed into Google, enter your credentials.
Grant Permissions
Review the permissions requested (basic profile information and email) and tap Allow or Continue. You are now signed into OrbVPN.
QR Code Login for TV Devices
On Fire TV and Android TV, typing credentials with a remote is cumbersome. OrbVPN offers QR code authentication for a seamless TV experience.
Open OrbVPN on Your TV
Launch OrbVPN on your Fire TV or Android TV. The sign-in screen will display a QR code prominently on the screen.
Open OrbVPN on Your Phone
Make sure you are already signed into OrbVPN on your mobile device. Navigate to Settings within the app.
Scan the QR Code
Use your phone's camera or the QR scanner in the OrbVPN mobile app to scan the code displayed on your TV screen.
Confirm on Your Phone
Your phone will show a confirmation prompt. Tap Approve to sign in on the TV. The TV app will authenticate within seconds.
Same Network Required
For QR code login, both your phone and TV should be on the same local network for the fastest experience, though it works across networks as well.
Email Verification
After creating your account with the magic link method, your email is automatically verified through the sign-in process itself. For social sign-in methods, your email is verified through the identity provider (Apple or Google).
Automatic Verification
Magic link authentication inherently verifies your email address. By tapping the link, you prove email ownership. No separate verification step is needed.
Social Provider Verification
Apple and Google have already verified your email. OrbVPN trusts these identity providers, so no additional verification is required.
Device Limit Handling
OrbVPN allows up to 5 simultaneous device connections per account. When you sign in on a new device and have already reached the limit, OrbVPN provides a simple way to manage your devices.
Device Limit Dialog Appears
When you attempt to sign in on a 6th device, a dialog appears showing all 5 currently registered devices with their names, platforms, and last active times.
Review Your Devices
Browse the list to identify devices you no longer use or need. Each entry shows the device type (iPhone, Android, Mac, etc.) and when it was last active.
Deauthorize a Device
Tap the remove button next to a device you want to deauthorize. That device is immediately signed out and removed from your active device list.
Sign In on Your New Device
With a slot now available, your new device automatically completes the sign-in process. You are connected and ready to use OrbVPN.
Managing Devices Proactively
You can review and manage your active devices at any time from Settings then Billing. Periodically remove devices you no longer use to keep your device list clean and make room for new devices.
Welcome Bonus
New OrbVPN accounts receive a welcome bonus to help you try the service immediately after registration, with no payment required.
Free VPN Credits
Every new account receives a welcome bonus of 5 minutes of free VPN time. This lets you test the connection, try different servers, and experience VPN protection before committing.
Instant Activation
The welcome bonus is credited to your account automatically upon registration. No promo code or additional steps required. Just sign up and connect.
After the Welcome Bonus
Once your free VPN time is used, you can add more credits through the Wallet, purchase a subscription, or earn credits through referrals and mesh contributions.
Account Security Best Practices
Use a Secure Email
Register with an email address that has two-factor authentication enabled. This adds an extra layer of protection to your OrbVPN account.
Enable Biometric Lock
After signing in, go to Settings and enable Face ID or fingerprint authentication. This prevents unauthorized access to the app on your device.
Review Connected Devices
Periodically check your active devices in Settings. Remove any devices you no longer use to maintain tight control over your account.
Keep Your App Updated
Always run the latest version of OrbVPN. Updates include security patches, new features, and performance improvements.
Troubleshooting
Magic Link Not Received
Check spam or junk folders. Verify the email address is correct. Try resending after one minute. Corporate email filters may cause delays.
Apple Sign-In Fails
Ensure you are signed into your Apple ID in device settings. Check that two-factor authentication is enabled on your Apple account.
Google Sign-In Fails
Try clearing the Google app cache or signing into your Google account in a browser first. Ensure Google Play Services is up to date on Android.
QR Code Not Scanning
Ensure adequate screen brightness on the TV. Hold your phone steady about 6 inches from the screen. Make sure the camera has permission to access the lens.
Account Created?
Excellent! You are now ready to make your first VPN connection. It takes just one tap to secure your internet traffic and protect your privacy.
