Hiddify Manager VPS

Open-source platform with multi-protocol support, auto-updates, and privacy.

Overview

Hiddify Manager is a multi-user management panel for proxy and VPN stacks. It focuses on simple deployment and broad protocol support so you can run a private access layer on your own server. On Cloudzy, you get dedicated EPYC vCPUs, DDR5 RAM, pure-NVMe disks, and a 10 Gbps uplink for steady throughput and responsive dashboards. Hourly billing fits a home lab, a small team, or a larger user group. 

Description

This image provides Hiddify Manager on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Python 3, systemd, and cloud-init. After SSH access, you manage the stack from Hiddify’s TUI menu:

hiddify

 

That command is a symlink to the project’s menu script at /opt/hiddify-manager/menu.sh. Use it to view service status, open the setup link, and apply updates.

Hiddify’s quick-install flow on Ubuntu 22.04 generates a setup link and then guides you to complete domain settings in the panel. Cloud-init deployment is also supported for providers that accept a user-data script.

Access the Web Interface

You’ll start from SSH on the VM. Run hiddify to print the setup link, then open that link in your browser to reach the admin panel. The menu shows the exact URL to use.

  1. SSH to the server. 
  2. Run hiddify to open the menu. 
  3. Follow the displayed setup link to finish initial configuration and access the admin panel. The link is produced by the installer on Ubuntu 22.04. 

Advanced Features

These are the practical upgrades you get on Cloudzy. They keep tunnel traffic responsive and make rollbacks straightforward.

  • Dedicated vCPUs and DDR5 RAM for consistent concurrency during user spikes. 
  • Pure NVMe storage for fast logs and configs. 
  • 10 Gbps network port for stable throughput. 
  • Snapshots and quick rollback before major changes. 
  • Hourly billing so you can test, clone, and retire nodes on demand. 

Ease of Use

Manage power actions, snapshots, and region moves from the dashboard. Use the static IP directly during setup, then point your DNS when you are ready. A built-in latency tester helps you pick the best region before deployment.

Performance Focus

Hiddify Manager coordinates multiple proxy protocols, so low jitter and quick first-byte matter. Dedicated EPYC cores, NVMe I/O, and a 10 Gbps uplink help the panel stay responsive while users pull configs and connect. 

Full Server Control

You have root access for firewall rules, backup scheduling, and update cadence. KVM isolation keeps your VM workloads apart from noisy neighbors, and a dedicated IP helps keep access predictable.

Powerful Tools

These are the small, practical helpers that sit beside Hiddify Manager. They cover first-run setup, routine updates, basic visibility, backups, and safe change control, so your time goes into access rules and user management instead of upkeep. Most actions start in the hiddify menu, and you can plug in your preferred hardening or external backup approach as needed.

  • Hiddify Manager preinstalled and accessible via the hiddify menu. 
  • Optional hardening and monitoring recipes are available on Ubuntu (for example Fail2Ban or node_exporter) if you choose to add them. 
  • Remote backup patterns to S3 or GCS can be set with your own tooling. 

All of this benefits from the predictable memory and I/O profile of a Hiddify VPS.

Important: Configuration & Domain Responsibilities

You get full SSH/root access on every OCA. That power also means your changes can break the app. Please read this before tweaking configs.

  • You manage the domain. We don’t sell or host domains/DNS. If the app needs a domain, you must point your domain to the server (A/AAAA/CNAME, and MX/TXT if relevant). SSL issuance and many dashboards depend on this being correct. 
  • Changing the domain/hostname after install isn’t trivial. Many OCAs write the domain into configs (.env, reverse proxy, app URLs). If you change it, also update: 
    • Reverse proxy (Nginx/Caddy) and TLS certificates 
    • App “external URL”/base URL and callback/webhook URLs 
    • Any hard-coded links in the app or add-ons 
  • Credentials matter. Renaming the default admin, rotating passwords, or changing service ports without updating the app config can lock you out or stop services. Keep credentials safe and in sync across the app, proxy, and any integrations. 
  • Nameserver changes can cause downtime. Moving your domain to new nameservers or editing NS records triggers propagation delays. Plan changes, lower TTL ahead of time, and verify A/AAAA records before switching. 
  • Firewall/port edits can break access. If you change SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, RDP, or app ports, update firewalls (UFW/CSF/security groups) and reverse-proxy rules accordingly. 
  • Email (SMTP) ports are restricted by default. Outbound mail ports (e.g., 25/465/587) may be closed to prevent abuse. If your OCA must send email, request SMTP Access from support or use a transactional email provider (SendGrid/Mailgun/SES) via API or approved SMTP. 
  • Email & allowlists. If the app sends mail or receives webhooks, changing IPs/hostnames may affect deliverability or allowlists. Update SPF/DKIM/DMARC and any IP allowlists. 
  • Before any big change: take a snapshot. Use the panel’s snapshot/backup first. If a plugin, update, or config edit backfires, you can roll back in minutes. 
  • Support scope. We provide the server and the preinstalled OCA image. Ongoing application-level configuration (domains, DNS, app settings, plugins, custom code) is the user’s responsibility.
