How to Enter Binance? Methods to Access Binance from Restricted Regions

For users in certain regions, accessing the Binance exchange has indeed become more troublesome than before. Entering the URL directly in the browser may fail to open, and the app cannot be found in the app store. But this does not mean there is absolutely no way; you just need to use the right methods. You can try directly accessing the Binance official website to see if your network environment can open it normally. At the same time, it is recommended to download the official Binance app and install it on your phone, as the app is usually more stable than the web version. The method for installing the app on Apple phones is quite special, and you need to refer to the iOS installation guide.

Why Can't I Enter Binance Locally

Let's first clarify why there are difficulties accessing Binance in certain regions:

Policy Level

In September 2021, ten departments including the People's Bank of China jointly issued a notice, explicitly stating that virtual currency-related business activities belong to illegal financial activities. Subsequently, major cryptocurrency exchanges (including Binance) announced their withdrawal from the mainland Chinese market and no longer provide services to mainland Chinese users.

Technical Level

The Binance domain name may face DNS pollution or IP blocking in some network environments, causing direct URL entries to fail. The degree of blocking varies across different carriers and regions; it might open in some places and fail in others.

Application Level

Domestic app stores have completely taken down cryptocurrency exchange apps, and search engines have also restricted related keywords, making it impossible to find Binance through conventional channels.

Several Methods to Enter Binance

Despite the obstacles mentioned above, the following methods can still help you access Binance:

Method 1: Direct Access to Official Website

The simplest method is to just try it directly. Enter Binance's official domain in your browser's address bar and see if it can be opened. Different network environments yield different results:

• Broadband in some regions can access it directly
• Mobile data networks and WiFi might have different access statuses
• Access conditions may also vary at different times of the day

If you can open it directly, that's the best. If it doesn't open, continue reading the methods below.

Method 2: Change DNS

Sometimes the inability to open Binance is due to the carrier's DNS resolution issues. You can try changing your phone or computer's DNS server to the following addresses:

How to change DNS on mobile phones:

• Android phones: Settings → Network & internet → Private DNS → Enter DNS address
• Apple phones: Settings → WiFi → Tap the exclamation mark next to the currently connected WiFi name → Configure DNS → Manual → Add DNS server address

Commonly used public DNS servers:

• Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
• Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

After changing the DNS, try accessing the Binance official website again.

Method 3: Use Network Acceleration Tools

This is the most commonly used method. By using network acceleration tools, you can bypass regional restrictions to access Binance. When choosing an acceleration tool, pay attention to:

• Choose reputable brands and avoid using free, unknown products
• Ensure the tool itself is safe and will not steal your data
• Choosing server nodes closer to you (Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, etc.) will provide better speeds
• Paid services are recommended as they offer more guaranteed stability and security

Method 4: Use the App

Compared to the web version, the Binance app connection is usually more stable. This is because the app can use different connection methods and servers, not completely relying on the browser's DNS resolution like the web version does.

Android phones can directly download the APK from the official website to install, while Apple phones need to use an overseas Apple ID to download from the App Store.

Method 5: Use Alternative Domains

Binance provides multiple alternative domains, and you can try using an alternative domain when the main domain is inaccessible. Alternative domains are updated irregularly, and you can get the latest alternative domains through Binance's Telegram channel or Twitter account.

What to Do First After Entering Binance

After successfully opening Binance, it is recommended to operate in the following order:

Register an Account

If you don't have an account yet, you need to register first. Registration process:

1. Click the "Register" button
2. Choose email registration (recommended) or phone number registration
3. Enter your email address and password
4. Complete the human verification
5. Enter the verification code received in your email
6. Registration is complete

It is recommended to set a complex password containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, with a length of no less than 12 characters.

Security Settings

Do the security settings immediately after registration:

1. Bind Google Authenticator: This is the most important security measure. Download the Google Authenticator app and scan the QR code provided by Binance to complete the binding
2. Set Anti-Phishing Code: Set a special phrase known only to you in the security settings. Emails sent by Binance afterwards will include this phrase
3. Bind Phone Number: Add a phone number as an auxiliary verification method

Identity Verification

You must complete KYC identity verification to use the full features:

1. Enter the identity verification page
2. Select the document issuing country/region
3. Select the document type (ID card/passport)
4. Take a photo of the document and upload it
5. Complete facial recognition
6. Wait for review (usually takes a few minutes to a few hours)

Bookmark the Entrance

After successfully opening Binance, immediately save it to your browser bookmarks. Alternatively, download and install the app so you won't have to look for the entrance every time.

Use the App or Web Version

Many people ask whether it's better to use the app or the web version. Here is a brief comparison:

Advantages of the App:

• Can be used anytime, anywhere
• Connection is usually more stable
• Supports push notifications so you don't miss important market movements
• Fingerprint/facial recognition login is more convenient
• No need to find the official website entrance every time

Advantages of the Web Version:

• Larger screen, making it more convenient to view K-line charts
• No need to install software
• Can be used on public computers (but not recommended)
• More convenient for opening multiple trading pairs

In general, the app is recommended for daily use, while the web version combined with it is for professional analysis.

Common Questions About Entering Binance

The Website Keeps Loading After Opening

If the website opens but keeps spinning and fails to load, it might be because the network speed is too slow. Try to:

• Switch the network environment
• Clear browser cache
• Change to a different browser
• Wait a few minutes and try again

It Does Not Display English After Opening

Binance might default to another language. Find the language switch button on the page (usually in the top right corner) and select "English".

Entering the URL Redirects to Another Website

This indicates that your DNS might have been hijacked. Solutions:

• Manually change DNS settings
• Use an acceleration tool
• Verify whether the entered domain name is correct

Prompts "This Service is Not Available in Your Region"

This indicates that Binance has detected your IP address is from a restricted region like mainland China. You can:

• Use an acceleration tool to change your IP address
• Use the Binance app (the app's IP detection might not be as strict as the web version)
• Contact Binance customer service to understand the specific situation

Security Precautions

During the process of entering Binance, you must pay attention to safety:

• Do not log in under public WiFi: Public WiFi can be eavesdropped, easily leaking passwords
• Confirm the URL is correct: Verify the domain spelling before every visit
• Do not save passwords: Do not let the browser automatically save Binance passwords
• Use privacy mode: Use the browser's privacy/incognito mode on public devices
• Change passwords regularly: Change your password every few months
• Do not click unfamiliar links: Do not enter Binance through untrusted links

Q: Is it illegal to trade on Binance locally?
