Use in 2026 Hiddify At that time, “Bypass Mainland” is one of the core functions. It ensures that you maintain a direct connection when accessing domestic applications (such as WeChat, Baidu, and Taobao), while automatically accelerating access to foreign websites (such as YouTube and Google) through nodes.
The following are the detailed steps and optimization tips for configuring “Bypass the Mainland” in Hiddify:
## 1. Core Configuration Steps
Hiddify’s design logic is very intelligent, and it usually only requires two steps to implement:
- Set the routing mode:
- Open the Hiddify app and click the bottom button. “Settings”.
- turn up “Routing” Options.
- exist “Route Mode” In the middle, select “Bypass LAN and Mainland”.
- Principle: This mode will automatically include all IP ranges from mainland China and
.cnSet the domain to direct connection, and use a proxy for all other traffic.
- Enable TUN mode:
- Return to the main interface and ensure in the settings. “Service Mode” Set as VPN or “TUN”.
- This ensures that Hiddify can identify and route traffic at the system’s underlying level (including traffic from apps that don’t use the system’s proxy).
## 2. Advanced Optimization: Ensuring More Precise Traffic Distribution
In 2026, to prevent certain domestic apps from being banned or experiencing slow loading speeds due to using proxies, the following minor adjustments are recommended:
- DNS optimization:
- In the DNS settings, “Remote DNS” Set to encrypted DNS (e.g.)
https://8.8.8.8/dns-query). - Will “Direct DNS” Set to a domestic fast DNS (e.g.)
223.5.5.5). - Enable “Sniffing”: Make sure to enable traffic sniffing, which will help Hiddify more accurately identify domains and determine whether they belong to mainland China.
- In the DNS settings, “Remote DNS” Set to encrypted DNS (e.g.)
- Custom Rules:
- If you find that a specific application (such as a Chinese version of a game) is still using a proxy, you can… “Custom Rules” In the middle, add the application’s package name or related domain name to “Direct connection” In the list.
## 3. Common Scenarios for “Bypassing the Mainland” in 2026
| Scene | Performance | Recommended settings |
| Daily use | Receiving messages on WeChat works fine, and browsing YouTube is fast. | Routing mode:Bypass Mainland |
| Returning to China at lightning speed | Accessing Bilibili and NetEase Cloud Music from overseas | Routing mode:Mainland Only (China Only) |
| Global mode | Solving the problem of being unable to access certain specific websites | Routing mode:Global |
## 4. Why choose Hiddify for traffic offloading?
- Automatic update rules: Hiddify uses
sing-boxThe kernel automatically updates the mainland IP database (GeoIP) and domain name database (Geosite) to ensure the timeliness of the traffic distribution rules. - Extremely low performance loss: Compared to traditional rule sets, Hiddify’s traffic splitting logic has almost zero latency on devices in 2026.
- Preventing traffic loops: It can effectively prevent domestic traffic from being mistakenly routed through foreign nodes and then back to China, greatly saving your data plan quota.
### Expert Tips
If you find that some domestic websites still display “Using a proxy” even after enabling “Bypass Mainland China,” it’s usually because… DNS leak This is the cause. Please be sure to check Hiddify’s DNS settings and ensure they are enabled. “Fake IP” Or the correct one Stream splitting analysis model.
