# Connect to the Testnet

> Create a Stellar account on Testnet with Varial

1. Install the Varial [browser extension](https://varialwallet.com).

2. Create a keypair or import an existing account using a mnemonic phrase to complete setup.

3. Next, switch to Testnet. Click your account name in the top left, then the settings icon, then `Network`, and choose `Test Net` from the `Current Network` dropdown.

4. If your account does not exist on the selected network, Varial will prompt you to fund the account using Friendbot. Alternatively, you can do so in the [Stellar Lab](https://lab.stellar.org/account/create).
