Granit VPN («Гранит ВПН») is a paid subscription to servers sold through the Telegram bot @granitvpnbot and the site granit.my. The service has no app of its own: the subscription link opens in the third-party clients Happ or INCY. According to the price list on the site, in effect since October 5, 2026, 30 days cost 299 rubles and a year 2,190 rubles, with up to 5 devices allowed per subscription. If you need a service with its own app in the App Store and Google Play, where you don't have to copy a key anywhere, we recommend BessyConnect. Below we look at what can be verified about Granit from primary sources as of October 27, 2026.
Granit VPN is a seller of access to VPN servers with a Telegram bot, not a program from a store. The operator is named in the documents on granit.my: the British company ARVOX DIGITAL LTD, number 16063479.
According to the Companies House register, the company is active, was incorporated on November 6, 2024, has its office listed in London, was previously called VYPER HOSTING LIMITED, and its line of business is data processing and hosting. There is no Russian legal entity, INN (Russian taxpayer number) or sole proprietorship in the service's documents.
The service appeared in spring 2025. The channel @granitvpn was created on April 15, 2025, and now has 30,590 subscribers. The bot @granitvpnbot shows 121,949 monthly users. The demand is noticeable: according to Yandex Wordstat, «гранит впн» ("granit vpn") is searched about 3.7 thousand times a month.
Granit is one of many "key from a bot into a third-party client" services. We looked at how such services work and how they differ in the review of people's VPNs.
Only the addresses that the service's own sites and channel link to can be considered official: the bot @granitvpnbot, the channel @granitvpn, support @GranitVPN_help, the sites granit.my and granitvpn.com, and the personal account at lk.granitvpn.com. Everything else with this name is a namesake or a lookalike.
We checked the addresses directly on October 27, 2026:
| Address | What it is | Connected to Granit? |
|---|---|---|
| @granitvpnbot | «Гранит VPN — Премиум ВПН» (Granit VPN — Premium VPN), 121,949 monthly users | Yes, the sites and the channel link to it |
| @granitvpn | Channel «Гранит VPN» (Granit VPN), 30,590 subscribers | Yes |
| @GranitVPN_help | Support, answers from 9:00 to 23:00 | Yes, listed in the bot's description |
| granit.my | A site with a "Connect" button and a login to the personal account, domain since 22.04.2026 | Yes, it leads to @granitvpnbot and lk.granitvpn.com |
| granitvpn.com | The former site, domain re-registered on 01.02.2026 | Yes, it leads to @granitvpnbot |
| @granitvpn_bot | Bot «Гранит VPN» (Granit VPN) without a description, 13,464 monthly users | Not listed on the sites or in the channel |
| @granit_vpn_bot, @granit_vpnbot | Bots «Самый быстрый ВПН сервис в РФ» ("The fastest VPN service in Russia") and «бесплатный VPN» ("free VPN") | Not listed |
| @granit_vpn, @vpn_granit | Channels titled "@granitvpnbot" | No: the only post is a link to another service's bot, VerbaVPN |
| @vpngranitbot | «Безлимитный VPN для Happ / INCY / v2RayTun» ("Unlimited VPN for Happ / INCY / v2RayTun") | No, a separate service |
The trickiest trap is the channels @granit_vpn and @vpn_granit. Their title says "@granitvpnbot", that is, the address of the real bot. But inside there is a link to someone else's service. Compare the bot's address character by character: @granitvpnbot and @granitvpn_bot differ by a single underscore.
Don't confuse Granit with the app GRANI — «VPN для сложных сетей» ("VPN for difficult networks") on Google Play either. It has a different developer (tamaev) and a different site, and we found no connection to Granit. Another similar-sounding bot is Granat VPN.
How to check VPN services for authenticity is covered in detail in the article on fake VPN apps.
The shortest period is 15 days for 149 rubles, a month costs 299 rubles, and a year 2,190 rubles. The prices are taken from the "Agreement on joining the recurring payment system" on granit.my, version of October 5, 2026.
| Period | Price | "Alternative renewal" amount |
|---|---|---|
| 15 days | 149 ₽ | 1 ₽ |
| 30 days | 299 ₽ | 220 ₽ |
| 90 days | 749 ₽ | 550 ₽ |
| 180 days | 1,349 ₽ | 990 ₽ |
| 365 days | 2,190 ₽ | 999 ₽ |
The subscription renews automatically. Under the agreement, a notice about the charge arrives no later than three days in advance. If the full amount couldn't be charged, the service has the right to charge the smaller amount from the third column and extend access for a shorter period. Auto-renewal is turned off in the bot, in the "Cancel subscription" section.
The price has risen over time. The channel's first post on April 15, 2025, promised 199 rubles a month; the re-pinned post of March 19, 2026, no longer mentions a price.
There are two ways to pay. In the bot, there's the "Pay for subscription" button. On the site granit.my, there's the "Connect" button: it creates a subscription without Telegram, and payment then happens in the Happ app, via the (i) icon and the "Pay" button.
There is no free plan in the documents. Free days are given for invitations: 10 days for each friend who wasn't in the bot before. The old site promised "Connect for free", but the length of the trial access isn't stated anywhere.
You can't download a "Granit VPN" app: it doesn't exist. A search for "granit vpn" and «гранит vpn» in the Russian App Store and on Google Play on October 27, 2026, didn't find an app from the service. You download a client and add your subscription to it.
Which client the service itself recommends on granit.my:
| Device | Client | Where from |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone, iPad, Mac | INCY | App Store |
| Android | Happ (on Google Play — "Happ - Proxy Utility") | Google Play or an APK from GitHub |
| Windows | Happ | Installer from the releases page on GitHub |
INCY is in the Russian App Store: developer LLC ITDEV, version 2.6.5 of October 23, 2026, rated 3.4 from 2,670 reviews. Happ on Google Play is published by Veltrixor LLC and has more than 10 million downloads. More about the client in the review of Happ.
Connecting step by step, as described on the site:
The queries «гранит впн на пк» ("granit vpn on pc") and «скачать на пк» ("download for pc") are covered by Happ for Windows. Granit has no separate app for computers. How to install the client on a PC without picking up a build from someone else's site is described in the guide Happ on a computer.
Most often the cause is the subscription or the selected server, not the client itself. The first tip in the service's FAQ is a simple action: update the subscription in Happ with the circular arrows button.
What to check, in order, according to Granit's FAQ and the channel's posts:
The special servers come at a price. According to the post of December 27, 2025, each gigabyte on "LTE" counts as 15 gigabytes of the overall limit, while the FAQ states a ×10 multiplier. So these servers are worth turning on only when the regular ones, the German and the Finnish, don't open. Why only some sites work on mobile internet is explained in the article on whitelists.
If nothing helped, write to @GranitVPN_help. The service asks you to state the server, carrier and region right away and attach a screenshot from Happ. Note the discrepancy: the site promises "24/7 support", while the support account's description says answers from 9:00 to 23:00 and a delay of up to 3 hours under load.
We didn't find any independent reviews of Granit: the service has no app store page with ratings, and the search results we found contained only its own pages and Telegram channel directories. Almost everything known about its quality was written by the seller itself.
What can be checked:
Granit has strengths too: real operator details, a published price list, a clear procedure for canceling auto-renewal and an FAQ with answers to common problems.
We recommend BessyConnect to those who don't want to choose between lookalike bots and copy a subscription from one app into another. Here the service and the app are a single whole, and it's installed from a store.

What can replace Granit — a comparison based on what can be verified:
| BessyConnect | Granit VPN (granit.my, 27.10.2026) | Tok VPN (tokvpn.help, 27.10.2026) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Its own app | A subscription from the bot or the site into the Happ or INCY client | A key from a Telegram bot into a third-party client |
| Protocol | VLESS with Reality camouflage | Not named | Not named |
| Operator in the documents | — | ARVOX DIGITAL LTD, London | Not stated on the site |
| How to try it | Trial period | 10 days per invited friend | 3 days for 1 ₽ |
| Windows | No app | Yes, via Happ | Yes, according to the site |
| iPhone in Russia | Requires an Apple ID from another country | INCY is in the Russian App Store | — |
Where Granit is stronger, to put it plainly. Its subscription opens on Windows via Happ, while BessyConnect has no Windows app. On an iPhone with a Russian Apple ID, Granit is easier to connect: INCY is in the Russian App Store, while BessyConnect isn't, and you'll need an Apple ID from another country. Tok («Ток ВПН») is in the table for comparison; we covered it in a separate review.
And the honest limit for any VPN. If your mobile internet is shut off entirely and ya.ru doesn't open, neither Granit nor BessyConnect will connect. We can't help you get back money sent to a lookalike bot.
If Granit is paid for and works for you, there's no urgent reason to switch. But if you're just choosing, or you're tired of switching between the "LTE" servers and counting traffic with a multiplier, try BessyConnect: you'll find the app for your device on the download page, and the trial period lets you test the service before paying.
Is Granit VPN free? No. According to the price list on granit.my of October 5, 2026, a month costs 299 rubles and 15 days 149 rubles. You can get 10 days for free for each friend you invite.
Where are the official Granit VPN site and bot? The sites granit.my and granitvpn.com, the bot @granitvpnbot, the channel @granitvpn, support @GranitVPN_help. The channels @granit_vpn and @vpn_granit titled "@granitvpnbot" lead to another service's bot.
How do I connect Granit VPN in Happ? Get the subscription link in the bot or on granit.my, tap "+" and "Add from clipboard" in Happ, then choose the "Granit" server. For iPhone and Mac, the service recommends the INCY client.
How many devices can be connected to Granit VPN? Up to 5 devices per subscription, with shared traffic: 999 GB a month. On the "LTE" servers, each gigabyte is counted with a multiplier.
What can replace Granit VPN? We recommend BessyConnect: its own app in the App Store and Google Play, VLESS with Reality camouflage and a trial period. But BessyConnect has no Windows app, whereas a Granit subscription can be opened on Windows.
