Official Sota VPN website: current address and how to spot a fake
The international Sota VPN website is sotavpn.com. For Russia the site runs on mirror domains that change when the previous one gets blocked. You are on the genuine site right now: sotavpn.com. Here is where the current address is always published and how to avoid fakes that ask you to download a “ready configuration” or enter your access key.
Step by step
- Remember the official sources. A new domain is always announced in the Telegram channel @sotavpn (pinned message) and available from the bot @sota. The Sota Connect listings on the App Store and Google Play also link to the official site.
- Check the address bar. The genuine site always starts with sotavpn. and leads to the dashboard at sotavpn.app. The international site is sotavpn.com. Domains with other names, extra words or typos are not ours.
- Check what the site asks for. The genuine site never offers a “ready configuration”, a settings file, or asks for your access key on a third-party page. Keys are issued only by the dashboard or the bot; the Sota Connect app comes from the App Store, Google Play, this site or GitHub.
- If the site does not open, the domain has been blocked. The app and your key keep working — nothing to change. Open the channel or the bot, take the new address and update your bookmark.
- Unsure about a site? Ask support at @sotasupport before entering your key or paying.
Good to know
- The app does not depend on the website: even if every domain is unreachable, Sota Connect keeps connecting with your key.
- Never enter your access key on a site you found through an ad or search without checking the address: the key gives full access to your account.
- Fake sites copy the design and call themselves the “official site” in the title. Trust the domain and the sources from step 1, not the look.
