Quickstart
Get connected to SecurQbit in about three steps — install the app, sign in or create an account, and tap Connect to secure your traffic.
This guide gets you protected in roughly three steps. The whole process takes a couple of minutes, and most settings work out of the box. For platform-specific details, see Installing SecurQbit.
Step 1 — Install the app
Install the native app for your device:
- iOS (20+): Download SecurQbit from the App Store.
- Android (10+): Download from the Google Play Store, or sideload the signed APK from securqbit.com.
Full instructions and system requirements are in Installing SecurQbit.
Step 2 — Sign in or create an account
Open the app and either sign in or create a new account.
- Tap Create account and enter an email address and password, or sign in if you already have credentials.
- Choose a plan. You can start Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly, with crypto payment accepted at checkout.
- Confirm your subscription and return to the app's home screen.
Tip: SecurQbit practices account-data minimization. You only need an email and a payment method — and crypto keeps even that minimal. See No-Logs & Privacy.
Step 3 — Tap Connect
From the home screen, press the large Connect button.
- The app selects the fastest server automatically, or you can pick a location first. See Connecting to a Server.
- On the first connection, your device will ask you to allow a VPN profile. Approve it — this is required for any VPN to route traffic.
- SecurQbit negotiates a forward-secret session and brings up the obfuscated tunnel.
What a successful connection looks like
When you're protected, you'll see:
- The status changes to Connected with a session timer.
- A VPN indicator appears in your device status bar.
- Your public IP now reflects the SecurQbit server, not your ISP.
Status: Connected
Location: Auto (fastest)
Protocol: Obfuscated HTTPS
