FAQ
InHive · invite-only VPN club
Updated: 15 May 2026
1. What is InHive?
InHive is an invite-only VPN club. It includes:
- Access to our VPN servers across several countries via subscription;
- The InHive app for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, which auto-connects via the subscription;
- A points, invites, roulette, and achievements system for inviting friends.
You can only join the club through an invite code from an existing member or an official source.
2. How do I join the club?
- Get an invite code (format
XXXX-XXXX) from a friend who's already in the club. - Sign up at inhive.ru/signup with the invite code — or open the Telegram bot @InHive_bot with the
/start inv_CODEcommand. - You'll instantly get a 5-day trial subscription and server access.
3. How do I connect to the VPN?
- Install the InHive app from GitHub releases (Android/Windows/macOS) or via TestFlight on iOS — request an invite from @InHive_support_bot.
- Open your subscription URL
https://inhive.ru/<your-subid>on the device — the app will intercept it and save the profile. - Or copy the link from
/accountand paste it into the app manually. - Tap "Connect" — the tunnel comes up in a couple of seconds.
4. How many devices can I connect?
Default is 2 devices per subscription. You can buy a higher limit in the bot or on the site — it's a one-time purchase that doesn't reset on renewal.
Active devices appear in /account under "Devices".
5. What plans are available?
Full pricing — at /pricing. Plans cover 1, 3 and 6 months, paid via SBP in rubles. Longer plans = cheaper per month.
6. What are points for?
You earn points from inviting friends and from their purchases. There's a three-level pyramid — you earn not only from direct invites, but also from their invites, and from their invites' invites:
- Per invite (L1 / L2 / L3):
+5 / +2 / +1point - Their 1-month buy:
+15 / +5 / +2points - Their 3-month buy:
+30 / +10 / +3points - Their 6-month buy:
+50 / +20 / +5points
Points decide your place in the monthly TOP-25 — winners get prize subscriptions, promo slots, custom emoji. Counter resets at month-end, the race restarts.
7. What are bee statuses?
Alongside points, there's a status by number of invitees — 11 levels (M/F variants):
- 🐛 Larva — 0 invited (start)
- 🐝 Flying bee — 1+
- 🐝 Gatherer — 3+
- 🐝 Worker bee — 6+
- 🔨 Builder — 12+
- 🛡 Guard — 18+
- 🔍 Scout — 24+
- 🍯 Honey keeper — 30+
- 🎓 Mentor — 36+
- ⭐ Senior bee — 42+
- 👑 King / Queen — 50+
Your status shows next to your nickname in the TG bot and on the site.
8. What's the roulette 🎰?
When your invite is redeemed by a new member, you automatically get a roulette spin. Possible prizes:
- 🎁 Jackpot 777 — premium emoji + "Lucky 🍀" achievement
- 📅 +3-5 days on your subscription (two sevens)
- 📅 +1-2 days on your subscription
- 🎟 +1 invite
- ⭐ +5 to +20 points
- 🎨 New emoji in collection (~47% chance)
The more you invite, the more prizes you collect. Spin history and emoji collection live in /account.
9. How do I get more invites?
After 5 successful invites in a month, the system grants +1 invite. Generate invites from your stash in /account → "Invites 🎟" section.
Starting stash on signup — 2 invites.
10. What's the progressive day "kickback"?
When an invitee buys a subscription, days are automatically added to yours. The more invitees you have, the more days you receive:
- 0+ invitees: +1 day (1mo) / +1 (3mo) / +2 (6mo)
- 5+ invitees: +2 / +2 / +3
- 20+ invitees: +3 / +3 / +4
- 30+ invitees: +4 / +4 / +5
- 50+ invitees: +5 / +5 / +6

12. What if the VPN won't connect?
- Check your subscription isn't expired — open /account and look at the expiry date.
- Re-enter the app and refresh the subscription (pull-to-refresh on the server list).
- Try a different server from the list — we run multiple ASNs and protocols (Reality, VLESS, UTProto, NaiveProxy).
- Still broken? Contact support or message us on Telegram: @InHive_support_bot.
13. Can I use it on a router?
The subscription works with any client that supports VLESS / Reality / sing-box (Hiddify, NekoBox, v2rayN, OpenWrt, Home Assistant, etc.). Just copy the URL from /account and import it into your client.
14. What about privacy?
We don't keep traffic logs. Email is used only for sign-in and notifications. Details — in the privacy policy.
15. How do I link Telegram to my web account?
Open /account → "Link Telegram" → sign in via the Telegram Login Widget. Accounts merge automatically: points, invites, and subscriptions roll into a single wallet.
16. Where do we hang out?
Club channel — @InHive_club. Releases, news, discussion. Support is a separate bot — @InHive_support_bot.
17. Secure environment (Android)
In InHive 4.1+ for Android there's a "Secure environment" feature — Russian apps (Sber, Yandex, VK, etc.) that detect VPN are cloned into a separate Work Profile where the VPN is inactive. Open Settings → 🛡 Secure environment in the app.
18. How do I delete my account?
Contact support or Telegram @InHive_support_bot with your email — we'll wipe the account and subscriptions within 48 hours.
