Stealth VPN Setup Guide (All Platforms)

Stealth VPN Setup

Stealth mode disguises your VPN traffic as ordinary HTTPS browsing so it works on networks that block regular VPN protocols — strict firewalls, restrictive ISPs, and censored regions. There are two stealth protocols, and your config links for both are on the Stealth configurator, make sure you try both.

  • REALITY (TCP 443) — the most undetectable. To any firewall your connection is indistinguishable from a visit to a major website. Use this on the strictest networks.
  • Hysteria2 (UDP 8443) — the fastest, especially on long-distance or unstable connections. If your network blocks UDP, use REALITY instead.
If you are connecting from a restrictive ISP or a censored region, on top of trying both protocols, make sure to try different locations as well. Some locations will work better then others.


1. Install a supported app

Hiddify is Free and Open Source and available on ALL platforms: Hiddify, (GitHub link)

Other options just in case: 

2. Import your config

  • 1. Open the Stealth configurator and pick a location.
  • 2. On a phone: scan the QR code with your app (most apps have a scan button on the main screen).
  • 3. On a computer: click Copy link, then use your app's Import from clipboard option 
          Hiddify: New Profile (or + icon) button → Import from clipboard.
          v2rayN: Servers → Import bulk URL from clipboard; 

          NekoBox: + → Import from clipboard; 

  • 4. Connect. Start with REALITY; add the Hysteria2 config too and use whichever performs better on your network.

Notes

  • Your stealth credentials are personal and permanent — the same config works on all your devices.
  • If you just activated stealth, allow up to a minute for access to reach all servers.
  • The manual settings panel on the configurator has every field if your app asks for them individually (UUID, public key, short ID, SNI, etc.).
