What Hiddify is
Hiddify is a free, open-source client built on sing-box. It runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux and supports VLESS (including REALITY), VMess, Trojan, Hysteria, TUIC, WireGuard and SSH. It reads V2Ray, sing-box and Clash subscriptions, can pick the server with the lowest latency automatically, and shows remaining days and traffic for your subscription.

- Profile updates — automatic, or manual via the refresh button. Update manually after outages.
If Hiddify won't connect
- Update the profile and try another server, ideally with a different protocol.
- On desktop, run as administrator or switch to system proxy mode.
