When you are not the bill payer
Lodgers, students in halls, people on a partner's phone contract and anyone using guest Wi-Fi cannot change the account settings. The same goes for school, office and hotel networks, which run their own filters. In those cases the practical way to unblock websites UK networks have filtered is an encrypted tunnel. The filter sees one secure connection to a server and has nothing to categorise. A key that uses VLESS over Reality looks like ordinary HTTPS, so it is rarely caught by the rules that stop older VPN protocols.
Court ordered blocks are a different matter
- ✓UK providers also block sites under High Court injunctions, mostly piracy sites.
- ✓Those blocks are not a filter setting and cannot be switched off in your account.
- ✓Royal Key is not offered for piracy or for gambling, and we will not help with either.
- ✓News, forums, health information and retailers caught by an over cautious family filter are a different matter, and they are what these pages are about.
- ✓On a school or work network the acceptable use policy still applies to you.

- 1Ask @royalkey_club_bot for the five free days. No card is involved.

The ledger
We keep no ledger of you, only of the key
Royal Key holds three things: a Telegram chat, the key sent to it and the date that key expires. No account sits behind them, so there is nothing for a log to attach to, and we never ask for a name, an email address or a phone number. It is a modest claim, and we prefer it to pretending that no jurisdiction could ever reach us.
- No account, email address or phone number
- No record of the sites you visit
- No connection times or IP addresses kept
- No card details: you pay inside Telegram
- No renewal and no charge you did not choose
At the counter
Asked at the counter
Why is an ordinary website blocked on my broadband?
Probably the provider's family filter. They are broad, and they are often on by default.
Can I switch the filter off?
Yes, if you are the account holder. It takes a couple of minutes in your online account.
What if I am not the account holder?
Then a VPN is the practical route, because the filter cannot see inside the tunnel.
Does a VPN unblock piracy sites?
Technically any tunnel does. We do not offer the service for that, and the law on piracy is unchanged.
Will this work on university Wi-Fi?
In most cases. The network sees what looks like a normal secure website visit.
Is any of this illegal?
Turning off your own filter is not, and neither is using a VPN.
Question not on the list?
The bot that cuts keys also answers questions. The setup section names the client to install.
