Troubleshooting

Most connection issues can be solved in less than a minute. Start with the symptom that matches your situation.

Need the focused version? Use Hiddify not connecting for a step-by-step checklist, or refresh a Hiddify subscription if renewal already happened.

I cannot connect

If you are connecting with a new subscription for the first time, do not worry if it does not connect immediately. The first attempt may take a little longer or end with a timeout while Hiddify establishes the connection. Press Connect again.

If Hiddify appears to stay on the timeout screen, close Hiddify completely, open it again and press Connect.

My subscription was renewed, but it still does not work

Open Hiddify and press the Refresh button. Hiddify will download the latest version of your subscription automatically.

Some websites work, others do not

If the problem only affects one website, it is likely unrelated to Hiddify.

One application does not work

If you are using Per-app Proxy, check whether the application is routed through Hiddify or bypasses it. If you are unsure, temporarily disable Per-app Proxy and test again.

I cannot access my printer or other local devices

Enable Bypass LAN. This allows access to printers, routers, NAS devices and other equipment on your local network while Hiddify is connected.

My connection feels slow

In many cases, the local network is the actual bottleneck.

My subscription expired

Open @simplelinkaccessbot, press My Configs and select Extend. Your subscription will continue working without creating a new one or importing it again.

Still having problems? Restart Hiddify. If the issue continues, reinstalling Hiddify and importing your subscription again resolves most configuration-related problems.
