Unblock LINE with a VPN

Message and call on LINE, even when your network, school, or government blocks it. Connect in seconds and stay in touch, wherever you are.

How to unblock LINE in 3 steps

Auto protocol selection handles the setup, so there's nothing to configure by hand.

Pro tip: if LINE feels slow on a school or office Wi-Fi network, switch servers from the Location screen instead of restarting the app. Some networks throttle specific connections rather than blocking LINE outright.

Why is Line blocked?

  • Government censorship

    China's Great Firewall has blocked LINE's chat servers at the network level since 2014. Russia's telecom regulator ordered LINE blocked in 2017. Both target LINE's servers directly, not just certain content.

  • School and workplace firewalls

    Many schools and offices block messaging and calling apps to limit distractions or save bandwidth. These blocks apply on-site only and usually disappear on a different network.

  • Regional network restrictions

    Some internet providers and public networks slow down or block messaging traffic without a formal government order. From the user's side, this can look identical to a country-level block.

  • LINE's own account-security checks

    LINE's own security system can ask for extra verification when it sees a sign-in from a new location or device. Connecting through a VPN makes this more likely, since your location changes.

Line not working with VPN? Here's how to fix it

IssueSolution guidance
LINE won't connect after I turn on the VPN

Disconnect from VPN Super, close LINE completely, reconnect, then reopen LINE. Some networks need the app to restart to pick up the new connection.

Calls drop but messages still send

Switch to a different server location, or try the Auto protocol setting. Voice and video need a more stable connection than text, so they're usually the first thing to suffer when a server isn't performing well.

LINE keeps asking for extra verification

This usually happens when LINE sees a sign-in from a new location or device. Reconnecting to the same saved server each time you use LINE can reduce how often this prompt appears.

Connected to the VPN, but LINE still looks blocked

Switch protocols from the home screen. On iOS and Android, V2Ray is designed to get through networks that specifically detect and block VPN traffic.

Messages are slow to send or calls sound choppy

Try Fastest Location for the lowest-latency server, or switch protocols from the home screen. Some networks handle certain protocols better than others.

The VPN disconnects on its own on Windows or Mac

Check for an app update, then try switching from WireGuard to OpenVPN if you're on Windows (Mac only supports WireGuard). If it keeps happening, restart the app and reconnect.

The free version feels slow for LINE

The free version on iOS and Android has fewer server locations than Premium. Try a different free-tier location first, or upgrade to Premium for the full 100+ locations in 60+ countries.
