How to Set Up Hiddify VPN: Step-by-Step Guide for Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone

Hiddify VPN is a free, open-source proxy client for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iPhone. It does not provide its own servers or subscriptions. Install the app, add a subscription link or QR code from your provider, select a profile, and connect.

Download Hiddify from the official website or check the latest version on Hiddify GitHub.

Hiddify works with a compatible profile or subscription. For workflows that require one residential IP to remain assigned across longer sessions, NodeMaven ISP прокси provide a dedicated static IP and work through direct proxy clients such as Proxifier, Shadowrocket, and Happ.

Hiddify VPN setup: the quick version

1. Download Hiddify from the official source.
2. Get a Hiddify key, subscription URL, QR code, or supported config link from your provider.
3. Open Hiddify and tap +.
4. Import the link from your clipboard, paste it manually, or scan the QR code.
5. Select the profile and tap Connect.
6. Check that your public IP and country changed.

Hiddify or a direct proxy client: which setup fits?

Hiddify works best when a provider gives you a ready-made subscription link or QR code. Standard HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies are more flexible because the same proxy details can be added to many different apps and clients.

For example, one NodeMaven ISP proxy can be configured in a desktop client for browser work, then used in a compatible app such as Telegram. It can also support authorised regional access and testing workflows for services such as ChatGPT и Claude.

A free proxy can help you check whether a client accepts a proxy format. Public proxies are shared, their availability changes frequently, and their IP reputation is unknown.

For regular use, a NodeMaven ISP proxy gives you a quality-checked, dedicated static residential IP with unlimited traffic. The same credentials can be added to compatible HTTP or SOCKS5 clients, which gives you more control than a provider-specific subscription link.

Keep your connection on one stable IP

Use NodeMaven’s quality-checked, UDP-capable ISP прокси with Proxifier, Shadowrocket, or Happ for persistent browser profiles and long-running workflows. Use code ИСП40 получить 40% off your first order of three or more IPs.

Where to get a Hiddify subscription or server

Hiddify needs a connection profile before it can connect. The app does not provide servers or subscriptions itself. Your provider usually sends the profile as a subscription link, server link, or QR code.

You may receive:

• A Hiddify subscription URL
• A QR code
• A VLESS config link
• A VMess, Trojan, or Shadowsocks link
• A Clash or Sing-box subscription link

Copy the complete link before opening Hiddify. Do not remove characters or share the full URL in screenshots, public chats, or documents. An active subscription link can give access to your connection profile.

A Hiddify subscription routes traffic through the servers included in the provider’s profile. If you instead need one residential IP to remain assigned during longer browser sessions, testing, account work, or location-specific tasks, use NodeMaven ISP прокси. They provide a dedicated static residential IP with unlimited traffic.

NodeMaven ISP прокси start at $2.99 per IP and connect directly through Proxifier on Windows and macOS, Shadowrocket on iPhone and iPad, или Happ on mobile.

Step 1: Download Hiddify VPN safely

Download Hiddify from the official Hiddify download page or the project’sofficial GitHub releases.

The official sources provide builds for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Avoid unofficial APK websites and file mirrors. A modified proxy app can expose your profile link or connection credentials.

Hiddify for Windows

To install Hiddify for Windows:

1. Откройте official Hiddify download page.
2. Select the Windows version.
3. Run the installer.
4. Open Hiddify from the Start menu.

If Windows displays a security notice, check that the installer came from the official Hiddify page or GitHub release before continuing.

Hiddify for macOS

To install Hiddify for macOS:

1. Download the macOS version from the official page.
2. Move the app to Приложения.
3. Open Hiddify.
4. Approve the app in macOS security settings if prompted.

Hiddify Linux

Для Hiddify Linux, use the package listed for your distribution on the official GitHub releases page. Install it through your usual Linux desktop software process, then open Hiddify and add your profile.

Hiddify VPN for Android

To install Hiddify VPN on Android, open the official download page on your phone and select the Android option.

If you need the Hiddify APK, use Hiddify’s official release source rather than an APK mirror.

Hiddify VPN for iPhone and iPad

Hiddify is available in the App Store in supported regions. Download Hiddify: Proxy & VPN from the App Store, or open the official Hiddify download page on your iPhone or iPad.

App availability can differ by country or App Store region. If Hiddify does not appear in your local App Store, check the official Hiddify download page for the current iOS installation option.

During your first connection, iOS may ask permission to add a VPN configuration. Tap Разрешить to let Hiddify establish the connection.

Step 2: Add your Hiddify key or config

Open Hiddify and tap the + icon. Depending on the platform and app version, you may see options such as:

• Add from clipboard
• Add from link
• Scan QR code

Choose the method that matches the details your provider sent.

Add a Hiddify subscription from the clipboard

1. Copy the full subscription URL from the provider’s dashboard or message.
2. Open Hiddify.
3. Нажмите +.
4. Выберите Add from clipboard.
5. Confirm the profile when Hiddify displays it.

Add a Hiddify config from a link

1. Нажмите + in Hiddify.
2. Select the option to add a profile from a link.
3. Paste the full Hiddify, VLESS, VMess, Trojan, or Shadowsocks link.
4. Confirm the import.

Add a Hiddify profile from a QR code

1. Нажмите +.
2. Выберите Scan QR code.
3. Allow camera access if requested.
4. Scan the code supplied by your provider.
5. Confirm the imported profile.

Give the profile a clear name when the app offers that option. A name such as “Provider, Germany” or “Work profile” makes the server list easier to manage later.

Step 3: Choose a server and connect

Tap the profile you imported. If the profile contains several servers, open its server list and select the location supplied by your provider.

Then tap Connect.

Android and iPhone may display a system request asking to add a VPN configuration. Confirm the request so Hiddify can route traffic through the selected profile.

A successful connection normally shows:

• An active connection status
• A timer or traffic counter
• The name of the selected profile or server
• A Disconnect button

Step 4: Check your IP address and country

Open an IP-checking website in your browser after connecting. Compare the displayed public IP and country with the server you selected in Hiddify.

Check these details:

• IP address: Your normal public IP should no longer appear.
• Country: The country should match the selected server location.
• Connection status: Hiddify should still show as connected.
• Session behaviour: Check again later if you expect the address to stay the same.

If the IP does not change, disconnect Hiddify, close and reopen your browser, then reconnect. A browser extension, another VPN, an operating-system proxy setting, or an application-specific route can override the connection.

A standard Hiddify profile may rotate or change servers according to the provider’s configuration. For work that depends on the same residential IP across a longer session, use a static option. NodeMaven ISP proxies are assigned as dedicated IPs, which gives browser and account workflows a consistent connection point.

Easy setup alternatives

A Hiddify subscription works through a provider-issued profile link. If you want to test and use a direct proxy connection, you can start with NodeMaven’s free proxy list. However, public free proxies are shared and can change or stop working without notice. They are suitable for a quick test, not for sessions where connection quality or a consistent IP affects the result.

For longer browser sessions, testing, account work, or location-specific tasks, NodeMaven ISP прокси provide a dedicated static residential IP, quality-checked before delivery, with unlimited traffic. Their direct login details make setup simple in proxy clients that have separate fields for the server, port, username, and password.

After purchasing a NodeMaven ISP proxy, copy these details from your dashboard:

• IP-адрес
• Порт
• Имя пользователя
• Пароль

Enter them in the client for your device. Use Proxifier on Windows and macOS, Shadowrocket on iPhone and iPad, или Happ on mobile.

Keep your connection on one stable IP

Use NodeMaven’s quality-checked, UDP-capable ISP прокси with Proxifier, Shadowrocket, or Happ for persistent browser profiles and long-running workflows. Use code ИСП40 получить 40% off your first order of three or more IPs.

Hiddify VPN not working? Try these fixes

Hiddify will not import my subscription

Copy the link again from your provider’s dashboard. Check for spaces before or after the URL. When you have a QR code, scan it from inside Hiddify instead of copying text from an image.

The link may be expired, incomplete, or intended for a different app.

Hiddify connects but websites do not open

Disconnect and reconnect. If the profile offers several servers, try another one. Also check for another VPN, browser extension, system proxy setting, or security application that may be controlling the connection.

Hiddify disconnects after a few minutes

Update the profile from Hiddify’s profile menu and reconnect. If the issue continues, contact the provider that issued the subscription and ask for a current profile link or server-status update.

Hiddify shows the wrong country

Open the server list and confirm that the selected server matches the intended location. The provider must include that country in the profile.

For a fixed country-specific IP in a longer workflow, select the country when ordering NodeMaven ISP прокси.

Keep your connection on one stable IP
