FAQ

Download & Installation FAQ

Should I download AMD64 or ARM64 for my computer?

For Windows:Right-click 'This PC' → 'Properties' → 'System type':

Shows 'x64-based processor' → Choose AMD64(Most PCs)
Shows 'ARM-based processor' → Choose ARM64(e.g., Surface Pro X, Snapdragon X Elite laptops)

For macOS:Click the Apple menu → 'About This Mac':

Processor shows 'Apple M1 / M2 / M3 / M4' → Choose ARM64
Processor shows 'Intel Core' → Choose AMD64

What should I do if macOS says 'Developer cannot be verified' or is blocked by Gatekeeper?

This is a default macOS block for apps not notarized by Apple. It does not mean the app is unsafe. Two ways to solve it:

Method 1 (Recommended):Go to 'System Settings' → 'Privacy & Security', find the blocked app at the bottom of the page, and click 'Open Anyway'.

Method 2 (Terminal):Run this in Terminal:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CIVPN.app

After running this, you can open the app normally by double-clicking it.

How do I fix the 'Install from unknown sources' error on Android?

Android only allows installs from the Play Store by default. You need to enable permission for sideloading:

Android 8.0 and above:A prompt will appear. Tap 'Settings' → Enable 'Allow from this source' for your browser or file manager, then go back to install.
Android 7.x：Go to 'Settings' → 'Security' → Enable 'Unknown sources', then reinstall the APK.

It's recommended to disable this permission after installation to keep your device secure.

How do I upgrade the client to a new version?

Download the latest installer from this page and install it over the old version:

Windows / macOS：Just run the new installer and follow the wizard. Your settings and login status will be preserved.
Android：Install the new APK directly without uninstalling the old version.
Linux：Download the new package and run the installation command again, or replace the AppImage file.

Some versions will show an in-app update prompt that links directly to this page.

Can I use one account on multiple devices at the same time?

Yes. A single CIVPN account supports multiple simultaneous connections across Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux, sharing the same data pool.

Data used by each device is summed up in real-time. You can check your remaining data and usage details in your account dashboard.

What if the Linux AppImage says 'FUSE not found'?

AppImages require FUSE 2. You can install it using:

Ubuntu / Debian：sudo apt install libfuse2
Fedora：sudo dnf install fuse
openSUSE：sudo zypper install fuse

Run the AppImage again after installation. Alternatively, use the .deb or .rpm formats which don't require FUSE.
