Hiddify 4.1.1 for Windows

Hiddify 4.1.1 is a free proxy and VPN client for Windows from the Hiddify project. It supports a range of modern proxy protocols and connects to servers that you add through a subscription link or configuration. It does not come with its own server network. You can download Hiddify for Windows from hiddify.com or its GitHub releases.

Who Hiddify is for

Hiddify is designed for people who already have access to proxy servers, whether from a provider, their organisation or a server they run themselves. Such services often hand out a subscription link: a single address that contains a list of servers and all their settings. Paste it into Hiddify, and the client imports everything and lets you choose a server yourself or leave the choice to automatic mode. It suits technically curious users, small teams sharing a server, and people who want one client for several protocols instead of a different app for each. The same project also offers a server-side manager for people who host their own servers, which is where its changelog lives. Hiddify is not for someone who simply wants to buy a VPN and click connect; without a subscription or configuration, the app has nothing to connect to. And like any proxy, it moves trust to whoever runs the server, so a configuration from an unknown source can expose your traffic.

Key facts

Getting started

1. Follow the official installation guide or download the build from the GitHub releases page.
2. Install and open the app.
3. Add a subscription link or configuration from your provider or your own server.
4. Select a server or automatic mode and connect.
5. Refresh the subscription when the provider updates its servers.

Changes to the server-side manager are listed in the Hiddify changelog, and the project's home page is hiddify.com.

Troubleshooting

If a server does not connect, update the subscription, try another server from the list and check that the PC's date and time are correct, since encrypted protocols reject connections with a wrong clock. Only one proxy or VPN client should manage the system proxy at a time; close others before connecting.

Safety and legal notes

• Use subscriptions only from people or companies you trust.
• Do not paste links shared in public groups by strangers.
• Follow the laws of your country and the rules of your workplace or school on proxies and VPNs.
• Download the app only from the official site or GitHub.

• Pro: one client for many proxy protocols.
