VPN for Huawei: install the APK, no Google needed

Ben's VPN installs on Huawei phones from an APK file. It is the same file as for other Android phones. No step needs Google services. The first launch creates a guest account for the phone. You can sign in by e-mail, Telegram or a code from another device. You pay on our website.

Android 10 and newer · version 1.21.0 · APK, 79.3 MB

Other systems: all downloads.

Huawei systems for the APK: EMUI 10 to 15, HarmonyOS 2 to 4

The file requires Android 10 and newer. For Huawei systems, this means:

  • EMUI 10 to 15: the file installs.
  • HarmonyOS 2, 3 and 4: the file installs.
  • HarmonyOS 5 (NEXT) and later: the file does not install.
  • EMUI 9 and earlier: the file does not install.

The list follows the Android version behind each system. It is a guide, not a promise. Contact Support 24/7 when the app does not install or start on a system from the first 2 lines.

A Huawei phone with Google Play can install the app from the store. The VPN for Android page describes that option.

Install the APK file in 4 steps

  1. Download the file on the phone

    Open this page on the Huawei phone and tap the download button above. Restart a stalled download with the mirror button.

  2. Install the app

    Tap the downloaded file. The phone may first ask whether the browser can install apps. Allow it and confirm the installation.

  3. Open “VPN”

    This is the label under the icon. The app opens in a guest account for this phone. There is no form to complete.

  4. Tap Connect

    Buy Ben's VPN shows the plans from our website when the account has no plan. Choose a plan and pay. For an existing subscription, the window has Already have a subscription? → Sign in to account at its top. The first connection also shows a system request for VPN permission. Allow it.

3 sign-in options and payment without Google

  • Sign in with Email sends a 6-digit code to the e-mail address of your account.
  • Sign in with Telegram asks you to confirm the sign-in in Telegram. Your Telegram must already be linked to the account.
  • Sign in with code takes the 8 digits from another signed-in device, under Account → Sign in on another device. Your account page on our website shows the same kind of code.

Payment does not need Google either. The purchase window shows our website plans and opens our checkout on phones without Google Play billing. For this reason, the window has no Restore purchases button.

Plans with no device limit

Pay here or in the purchase window on the phone. The plan covers every device on your account.

Bonus months come with purchases on this site. Refunds follow our refund policy. Send the request within 14 days of payment.

Huawei questions

Support 24/7: the chat on this site, Telegram @bensvpn and [email protected].

My phone runs HarmonyOS NEXT. What are my options?

The file from this page does not install on HarmonyOS NEXT. Your plan still works on your other devices: a computer, an iPhone, another Android phone or a TV.

Why does the VPN stop after the phone has been locked for a while?

Battery optimization can stop it on some phones. Open Account → Settings in the app. In Battery saving, tap Add to exceptions and confirm in the system dialog. The phone then no longer restricts the app in the background.

How can I pay without Google?

Our checkout accepts Visa, Mastercard and cryptocurrency. Only a card works for the trial.

Is the Huawei version different from the Android one?

It is the same APK with the same features, including Apps that bypass the VPN under Tunnel → Manual. Only the payment differs: you pay on our website instead of Google Play.

Start for 3 days, then decide

The trial costs $0.50 and opens all 187 countries and every app. After it, the plan renews at $5 a month. You can cancel the renewal from your account at any time.
