Launch X431 PAD VII PRO 5 VPN Setup for North America, Spain Online Programming


Due to regional restrictions implemented in April 2025, the online programming function on  Launch X431 PAD VII, PAD V, and PRO 5 is not authorized in Spain, Portugal, and North America. However, many users have successfully bypassed these limitations using a VPN connection.
