How to set up UCSS for Windows

Software Download

Download “UCSS for Windows” from the download menu after logging in.

It is recommended to use with Windows 10 or higher.

UCSS for Windows is connected using system VPN. It can also be used with games and softwares that require UDP transfer.

Connect to UCSS

When you open the exe file, you will be asked for permission to change, select “Yes”. Then click “Install”. The software installation is completed.

You will be redirected to the login screen, enter your email and password, and click “LOGIN”. The server information will be loaded in a few seconds.

You can change the server by selecting the server name, then click “CONNECT” button.

When you click the connect button after the initial installation, the driver setting process proceeds, so it may take about 30 seconds for the connection to succeed. Please wait.

Software Settings

You can change the settings from the menu on the top left and choose two connection modes.

  • Global: Route all traffic through UCSS server
  • Smart Routing: Route all traffic through UCSS server except Mainland IP (bypass Mainland IP)

Under “Account”, you can log out, switch a plan, and check the remaining monthly traffic (based on the time of the UCSS for Windows program launch). Please check the real-time correct remaining monthly traffic on the client area of the homepage.

“Lauch at login” makes the program launch automatically when the computer starts up.

UCSS for Windows has a fundamentally different method of measuring Ping from other apps. It is measured through the http header instead of ICMP, and the Ping value is displayed larger than other apps. If you want to know the measurement result by ICMP/TCP, please use a speed test app.

Update Server Information

Updated automatically when the software starts. Once the software is closed and restarted, the update will be completed.
