Hiddify Proxy & VPN

Hiddify is a solid and well-designed client with support for many modern proxy and VPN protocols. It covers most of the commonly used transports and is easy to manage, even with complex configurations. However, in highly censored networks (for example, current conditions in Iran), almost all standard TLS-based and QUIC-based protocols are blocked or unusable in practice — including V2Ray, VLESS, Trojan, Reality, etc. At the moment, DNS-based tunneling is one of the very few techniques that still works reliably. Currently, Hiddify does not support DNS-tunneling transports such as dnstt or slipstream. These are not traditional DNS proxies, but newer covert-channel approaches that tunnel traffic entirely over DNS and are actively used today where other methods fail. Even Psiphon and Tor only connect sporadically, while DNS tunneling remains usable. Native support (or plugin-level support) for dnstt/slipstream-style tunnels would be a major improvement and would significantly increase Hiddify’s usefulness in real-world censorship scenarios. These protocols may be new, but they are already critical for many users. Overall, Hiddify is a strong client, and adding DNS-tunneling support would make it even more future-proof.

Hiddify is an excellent application — the speed is great and the ping is consistently low, which makes the overall experience smooth and reliable. I really appreciate how well it performs compared to other VPN apps I’ve tried. One important feature I feel is missing, though, is the ability to enable the app and VPN directly through the VPN shortcut in the notification shade. Having quick access from the system shortcut would make it much more convenient to use on a daily basis. Please consider adding this functionality — it would make Hiddify even better.
