Troubleshooting

How to fix Hide.me VPN not working

Hide.me VPN is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach hide.me over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Check for a Hide.me VPN outage

    Open the status page and look at the top of the page. It shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; the site does not ping or probe the service itself. If reports are high, the issue may be on the provider side, so wait and try again later.

  2. Switch server location and protocol

    Pick another location. Open the app, choose a different city from the Locations list, and connect again, because one server can fail while others work. If that fails, open Settings and choose Protocol, then switch to WireGuard or OpenVPN.

  3. Turn off kill switch or split tunneling

    Open Settings and look at Kill Switch and Split Tunneling. Turn off the kill switch for a test, or remove the app from split tunneling if you added it, then connect again. These settings can block traffic when the tunnel drops or when an app is excluded by mistake.

  4. Reinstall the Hide.me VPN app

    Remove the app and restart your device. Install the latest build from the same store or installer you used before, then contact support through the help centre at https://hide.me/support if it still fails.

While Hide.me VPN is down: what to use instead

  • Another server location When one location hangs on connecting or times out, pick a different city from the server list, because a single overloaded node can fail while the rest of the network still works.
  • A different protocol Switch from WireGuard to IKEv2 or OpenVPN in the app settings if you're on hotel or office Wi-Fi that blocks VPN traffic.
  • Browser extension For plain browsing, the Hide.me extension for Chrome or Firefox covers only browser traffic and may connect when the desktop app won't.
  • Proton VPN If the whole service is out, its free tier is quick to install and covers you while you wait.

About

What happens when Hide.me VPN goes down

Hide.me VPN is a service that routes your internet traffic through encrypted servers. You rely on it on phones and computers to keep browsing private and reach sites blocked in your region, so an outage cuts off that tunnel and leaves apps and sites unable to load.

The first sign is a stall on connecting. If a tunnel was already active, it drops first, and the kill switch can then block all internet traffic until you disconnect or pick another server, which looks like a full outage on your device. Split tunneling and DNS lookups may break too, so some apps lose access while others still load. Problems are often partial or regional; one server or country endpoint can fail while other locations keep working.

Questions

Hide.me VPN FAQ

Is Hide.me VPN down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. If it is normal, the problem may be only on your side. Try another network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, and another device; if those work, the issue is local. For account or app problems, the help centre at https://hide.me/support has setup and login guides.

Why does the Hide.me VPN app say authentication failed even with the right password?
The app may be using an old password or an expired account. Check your account status in the dashboard, then reset your password from the login page. If you use a manual profile on a router, make sure the credentials match the ones in your account. The help centre can help if the error continues.

Why does Hide.me VPN keep disconnecting on my phone?
Battery saver and data saver often kill the VPN process in the background. Set the app to unrestricted battery usage, and turn off any other VPN or DNS app. If it still drops, switch the protocol to WireGuard or OpenVPN in settings. Android also needs the app to have background permission.

Why does the kill switch in Hide.me VPN block my internet after I close the app?
The kill switch is designed to cut traffic when the VPN drops or you quit the app. That is normal behavior. Open the app and reconnect, or turn off the kill switch in settings if you want normal internet without the VPN. If the app crashed, force close it and start it again.

Can I use one Hide.me account on several devices at once?
Yes, but the app may limit how many devices can connect at the same time. If you hit a limit, log out on another device or check your account page. The help centre can confirm the limit for your account.

How we track Hide.me VPN

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Hide.me VPN, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Hide.me VPN, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Hide.me VPN doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
