Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your subscription link might not have copied correctly, or your browser's cache may be unresponsive. Try copying the link again from the dashboard, restart the app, and paste it manually.
The selected node might be timing out or experiencing load. Tap the Delay test (lightning bolt icon) at the bottom to find active nodes, which should restore a green connection status.
Hiddify needs permission to create virtual LAN devices. Right-click the Hiddify desktop icon and select "Run as administrator" to ensure the installation completes and connection succeeds.
Click the three-dot menu icon on your subscription profile and select "Update" to fetch the latest optimized routing paths from the NodeNow servers.
"Rule" or "Auto" is usually fastest as they only route necessary traffic through the VPN. Use Rule mode to ensure local games or apps don't experience region-lock issues.
