Hiddify on Windows

Step-by-step Windows setup for RookVPN using the Hiddify desktop client.

Download the latest Hiddify release for Windows from the official GitHub project page. Run the installer and approve the Windows VPN profile when prompted — without admin approval, the tunnel cannot start.

Import subscription

Copy your RookVPN subscription URL from the dashboard or rookvpn.com/free. In Hiddify, use Import from URL, paste the link, and wait for profiles to sync. Select a node (Helsinki, Montreal, Nuremberg) and click Connect.

TUN vs system proxy

For full-device coverage, enable TUN mode in Hiddify settings. System proxy alone may not route all desktop apps. Games, IDEs, and some Microsoft Store apps often bypass per-app proxy rules.
