You can use Roo VPN to access international resources. Click the start button ➞ and the button will light up, indicating that the connection has been successful. Then you can directly access the content you want to access.

Due to the special restrictions and App filing policies in mainland China (many apps cannot be filed and cannot be downloaded from the App Store), the following will introduce how to download international apps.

Android devices

Android is an open platform, and you can download APK installation files from the App Store or third-party platforms for installation.

Download from Google Play: You can search for GG Google Installer or Go Google Installer online, then install the Google Suite through the Google Installer, and then search for the international apps you need to download in the Google Store (Huawei devices are not compatible with the Google Store, so it is recommended to use the Apk website to download apps)

Download from the Apk website: After you connect to the VPN, use a browser to open any of the following websites, search for the app you want to download, and you can download it

PS: Since some brands of mobile phones have restrictions on their built-in browsers, it is recommended that you use Chrome or Firefox

iOS, Mac devices

iOS can only download software from the AppStore, but there are many international resources that cannot be found in the Chinese AppStore, because the region of the AppStore is determined by the region of the logged-in Apple ID. International or unregistered apps cannot be downloaded from the Chinese mainland Appstore, so we need to switch the AppStore region to download.

Please refer to "Method 1" or "Method 2" in our iOS platform download tutorial article to download international APPs

Method 1: Create an Apple ID outside the Chinese mainland

Advantages: Once and for all, change the ID, download international APPs at any time, and it is also convenient to update the software later

Method 2: Change the region of the current Apple ID

Advantages: No need to change the Apple ID to log in, and it is convenient to update the software later. However, there may be a situation where the ID cannot change the region. If the region cannot be changed, it is recommended to use "Method 1"

Mac devices

Mac devices can also use the above method to download the required applications, or search for the required applications in the browser for download and installation.

Windows devices

After connecting Roo VPN, search for the website or application you need to visit directly in the browser for download and installation

PS. If you want to use a browser to access international resources, it is recommended to use Google Chrome or the Safari browser that comes with iOS. The browsers in mainland China have access restrictions and are not recommended.
