A VPN is commonly referred to as a "ladder" and is a tool that helps users access region-restricted networks. iOS users need to register a foreign Apple ID to access the App Store and download VPN software, while Android users can obtain it through a link. It is recommended to use a paid VPN for stability. Both platforms have their advantages; it is advised to download through official channels and create multiple accounts to ensure security.

Ladders are essentially a colloquial term for VPNs, which are a type of network circumvention tool that helps users access on-chain activities and services restricted by geographic location. Many blockchain projects have access restrictions in certain regions, so mastering the correct ladder configuration method becomes an essential skill for participating in the global ecosystem.

iOS Platform Ladder Configuration Guide

First, you need to prepare a foreign Apple ID. The simplest way is to register directly on the Apple official website without purchasing an existing account. When registering for iCloud, set the region to Hong Kong, the US, or other locations. It’s recommended to create two accounts for different purposes, such as one Hong Kong ID and one US ID.

After obtaining a foreign ID, you can access the corresponding regional App Store to download ladder software. Currently popular VPN apps include KuaiLian and Shadowrocket. KuaiLian is relatively simple to operate; after installation, open the app, complete the payment subscription, and you’re ready to use. Note that a single account can be logged in on two devices simultaneously, which improves efficiency.

Android Platform Ladder Acquisition Method

Android devices offer more flexibility for ladder configuration. Usually, you can download via links. If someone around you has already set up a ladder, ask for their download link; these channels often allow free trial for a few hours. If lucky, you might even find completely free ladder apps.

However, it’s important to note that free ladders often lack stability. Connection interruptions may occur after some time. For long-term and stable use, paid commercial VPN services are more reliable.

Ladder Selection and Usage Tips

Compared to iOS, which has stricter app review processes, the available ladder tools are more reliable. Android offers more options, but you need to verify the reliability of the software yourself. Regardless of the method chosen, it’s recommended to download apps through official channels to ensure account and data security. Setting up multiple ladder accounts is also a good backup strategy.
