This guide takes you from a fresh signup to a running device with a bound identity and your first app installed. It assumes nothing.

1. Create an account

Sign up at /signup/ with an email address. No card, no KYC. You get 60 free minutes on a Growth-class node immediately.

2. Provision a device

From Devices → New, choose four things:

  • Region — where the physical node lives. Pick the one closest to where the account should appear to be.
  • Country & carrier — determines the SIM, the IP, the locale and the timezone. This is the single most consequential choice.
  • Handset model — the device your identity will claim to be. We only offer models that genuinely shipped in the selected market.
  • Android version — pinned to the identity for its lifetime. Do not change it later without scheduling an upgrade.

Provisioning takes about 11 seconds. Up to 90 if a fresh SIM needs activating in that region.

3. Review the identity

Open Device → Identity. Every field here is generated, coherent and unique to this instance. You can regenerate individual fields before first boot, but not after — changing an IMEI on a device that has already registered accounts is how you lose them.

4. Install an app

Use the built-in Play client rather than sideloading. Install provenance is a scored signal on Snapchat and TikTok, and a Play install with a valid referrer scores better than an APK you pushed over ADB.

5. Verify before you register anything

  1. Run Diagnostics → Integrity. You want MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY on Growth and above.
  2. Run Diagnostics → Leaks. DNS, WebRTC and IPv6 must all report the carrier IP.
  3. Check the IP's ASN resolves to a mobile network operator, not a hosting provider.
