How to Import a Subscription into Hiddify Safely

Import a Hiddify subscription by clipboard, QR code, or URL, then manage updates and troubleshoot empty or expired subscriptions.

A subscription link is a URL containing server configuration information, usually provided by your proxy service provider. It includes server addresses, ports, encryption protocols, and more.

Info

Common Formats:

  • HTTP(S) Link: https://example.com/api/v1/subscribe?token=... (Most common)
  • Protocol Link: vmess://... or vless://... (Single node)
  • Clash Format: Usually provided as YAML

Import Methods

If you still need to install the app, choose the matching Hiddify setup guide for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iPhone and iPad.

Choose the method that suits you best:

Management & Updates

After importing, configure auto-update to keep nodes fresh.

How to set auto-update?
  1. Click Menu (Three dots) on subscription card (or long press)
  2. Select Edit
  3. Find Auto Update option
  4. Set to 12h or 24h
How to manually update?

If connection fails or is slow, try manual update:

  • Click the Refresh Icon next to subscription card title
  • Or pull down the subscription list to refresh all

Security Warning

IMPORTANT: Subscription links contain your personal account token. NEVER share them with strangers or post on public social media. If leaked, go to your provider website and reset the subscription immediately.

FAQ

Empty subscription or no nodes after import?
  1. Check if the link was copied completely.
  2. Confirm subscription hasn't expired.
  3. Try opening the link in a browser. If it doesn't download content, it might be blocked; try updating while connected to another proxy.
Can I use same sub on multiple devices?
Usually yes, provided you don't exceed the provider's concurrent device limit (typically 3-5 devices).
