How Can I Setup Custom Server on Android?

Last modified: June 22, 2022

With our Premium plan, you have the option to connect to a specific IP address. That is to say that you can choose which IP address our server will assign to your device – this is your new public IP address.

Please note that you won’t have an exclusive right to that IP address. Other subscribers will also be hidden behind it. That is also a security measure of ours.

To do this, please follow the instructions below:

---

STEP 1: Choosing a server location

First of all, please disconnect from our VPN service. Next, log in to the Members area here, and click on the Fixed IP / UPnP tab on the left side.

Now, choose the region and the server location that you wish to connect.

In this example, we’ll choose the Netherlands which is under the Europe region.

Note: Some countries may have more than one location. You can just choose any of the locations given and choose Select. In this example, we’ve chosen Amsterdam.

Finally, you will be given the hostname of the server location you’ve chosen. Please copy this information. e:g 185-94-188-246.hideservers.net

STEP 2: Adding Fix IP information into the VPN client app

Launch our app, and click on Location at the bottom of our app.

In the Location Selection menu, click on Custom Location.

Now, click on Add to Favorites (Optional), Select as default options, enter the Hostname that you’ve copied earlier into the white box and, click on the Connect button.

In this example, we’ve added 185-94-188-246.hideservers.net into our VPN client app so that you can always get an Amsterdam (Netherlands) IP address.

Connected to Fix IP server location

You’re now connected to the specific server location of your choice and you will also be given the same (fixed) IP address whenever you enable hide.me VPN connection.

I don’t want to connect to a specific server, what should I change?

Just repeat step #2 and at the Location Selection menu, choose the server location you preferred.
