Supported protocols
Hiddify supports a wide range of protocols, including:
- Xray — one of the most widely used and resilient protocols, performing well even under network restrictions.
- Hysteria 2 — a QUIC-based protocol, ideal for unstable or slow connections.
- VLESS + XTLS Reality, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, TUIC, WireGuard, SSH, and more.
The protocol is selected automatically based on the configuration imported from your control panel.
Key features
- Automatic server selection — the app connects to the lowest-latency node automatically.
- Multiple profiles — store and switch between several configurations.
- One-click configuration import — copy the link from your control panel and paste it into the app.
- Split tunneling — route traffic from specific apps or domain zones directly, bypassing the VPN.
- Traffic usage stats — data consumption displayed directly in the interface.
- Auto-start — optional launch on system startup.
- IP check — built-in current IP address and location verification.
Split tunneling
To send certain traffic directly without going through the VPN server, go to Settings → Routing → Region and select the appropriate option.
Traffic for the selected region will bypass the VPN, while everything else goes through it.
