Midjourney VPN: Smoother Reference Uploads and Large Downloads
Working in Midjourney often means uploading reference images first, then downloading high-resolution results one by one. The files are large, so stalled uploads and failed downloads are common on a shaky line. This page explains where HZVPN helps, and what to know about accounts, billing and content rules.

What a VPN does for Midjourney
Generation happens on Midjourney's own servers, so your network mainly affects two things: uploading reference images, and browsing and downloading finished images.
On shared networks, HZVPN can encrypt that connection, and when large downloads keep failing on your local line, you can compare another route.
Downloading finished images in bulk
Upscaled images are large files. If downloads keep failing, connect to an HZVPN location near you and try again, compare with the VPN off, and keep the steadier one.
Uploading reference and style images
A reference upload that drops halfway has to start again. Check the connection is steady first: in Japan, for example, try Japan (41 servers).
Generating in Discord
Using Midjourney in Discord, the network conditions are the same as Discord's. If Discord connects normally, generating usually works too.
Working on a shared studio network
On a shared office or studio network, HZVPN encrypts your connection so the operator cannot see which services you use.
Midjourney and VPNs: three rules to know
These concern your account, billing and who can see your images; a VPN doesn't change them.
Billing follows your payment details
Midjourney charges by subscription plan, and the price, currency and tax are as shown at checkout. A new IP does not change the country of your payment method, and we don't suggest trying.
Content rules don't vary by region
Midjourney has its own community guidelines that restrict some content. A new IP doesn't change them, and accounts that break them may be restricted.
Images may be public by default
Under Midjourney's rules, generated images may appear in a public gallery by default, and some plans offer a stealth mode. That's an account setting unrelated to a VPN; check Midjourney's documentation for your plan.
Where to use Midjourney
The website, Discord, your phone and download management each have something to watch.
Website
Generate and organise images in a desktop browser. The HZVPN app on Windows and macOS encrypts browser traffic.
Discord
Generate in a Discord server or by messaging the Midjourney bot. For Discord voice problems, see our Discord page.
Browsing on mobile
HZVPN runs on Android 9+ and iOS 13+. Browsing work on your phone, large images use a fair amount of data.
Bulk downloads
When downloading many images at once, use steady Wi-Fi and avoid switching server locations mid-download.
Get started in 3 steps
Sign up and download
Create an HZVPN account on our website, then download the app for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS or Linux.
Pick a server location
Choose one of 43 server locations in the app and tap connect. If it doesn't feel right, switch to another any time.
Open the app you want to use
Open Midjourney on the web or in Discord, generate an image and download the full-size file; if downloads keep failing, switch to a nearby location or compare with HZVPN off.
Large download failing? Find which part is at fault
1. Open the same image in your browser first. If it previews but won't download, the download was probably interrupted; just try again.
2. Disconnect HZVPN and download the same image on your local network. If that fails too, the issue is the local network or Midjourney itself.
3. If it fails only with the VPN on, switch to another HZVPN location near you; each location takes a different route to the image servers.
4. Before bulk downloads, make sure the device has enough storage; on mobile data, keep an eye on usage with large images.

Frequently asked questions
Will Midjourney's price change if I switch regions with a VPN?
Price, currency and tax are as shown at checkout and depend on your payment method. We don't recommend changing your IP for pricing.
Can other people see the images I generate in Midjourney?
Under Midjourney's rules, images may be public by default, and some plans offer a stealth mode. Check Midjourney's documentation; a VPN doesn't affect this.
Large Midjourney downloads keep failing. What should I do?
Compare with the VPN on and off first; if it fails only with the VPN, switch to a server location near you.
Do I need a VPN to use Midjourney in Discord?
Not necessarily. If Discord connects normally, generating usually works; on public networks you can keep HZVPN on to encrypt the connection.
Can a new IP get around Midjourney's content limits?
No. Content rules follow your account and the community guidelines, not your IP.
