Why CakeVPN

🔒

Secure

Your traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel (VLESS + Reality with XTLS-Vision) between your computer and our servers.

🗺️

Every location on a map

Zoom around the map and see each location's load and ping, or let CakeVPN pick the best one for you.

♾️

Unlimited traffic

Every plan comes with unlimited data, every month. No caps, no counting.

🍰

One button

Sign in once with your 5-character code and press Connect. New versions install with one click.

☕

On by itself on public Wi-Fi

In a café or hotel, the VPN can turn on by itself. Networks you trust, like your home Wi-Fi, stay as they are.

⌨️

Tray menu and shortcut

Connect, disconnect or switch location from the tray menu, or press your keyboard shortcut in any app.

📶

Tells you what's wrong

When things get shaky, CakeVPN says whether it's your Wi-Fi or the VPN, and reconnects by itself.

🌍

Six languages

English, Français, Español, Italiano, Deutsch and 한국어. It follows your computer, or pick one yourself.

🎁

Invite friends

Every friend who joins with your invite code gives you extra speed, right from the app.

Everything in one place

Settings are sorted into sections down the side, so everything is one click away.

How to install

  1. Download CakeVPN for Windows

    Get the .exe installer with the download button above.

    Download for Windows
  2. Run the installer

    Open the file you downloaded. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. That message appears for new apps without a paid code-signing certificate.

    Click Yes when Windows asks for permission. The installer also sets up the small CakeVPN service that runs the connection.

    "Smart App Control blocked this app"? That Windows 11 feature only allows apps with a paid code-signing certificate, and it has no "Run anyway" button. To install CakeVPN, open Windows Security → App & browser control → Smart App Control settings, choose Off, then run the installer again. With the March 2026 Windows update or newer you can switch it back on afterwards; on older versions, turning it off is permanent.

  3. Enter your code

    Open CakeVPN from the Start menu and type the 5-character code you were given.

  4. Press Connect

    The ring turns green when you're protected. Closing the window keeps CakeVPN running in the tray next to the clock.
