VLESS on macOS with Hiddify

Menu-bar client for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

macOS VLESS 5 min 2 min read

Hiddify brings VLESS to macOS on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It’s free and open-source.

What you need

  • A Mac with a recent version of macOS
  • An active RealVPN plan
  • About 5 minutes

  1. Get your VLESS config

    Sign in at realvpn.io, open the Account menu and choose Manual VPN setup — or go straight to realvpn.io/settings.

    Select VLESS, choose a location close to you and press Generate config. You’ll get a VLESS link and a QR code.

    Example result — your values will be different.

    Device: choose New manual device the first time. Setting up the same device again? Pick it from the list to reuse its credentials instead of creating a new one.

  2. Install Hiddify

    Get Hiddify on the Mac App Store, or download the .dmg from the official GitHub releases.

  3. Import your VLESS link

    Click Copy on the config page. In Hiddify click New Profile (+) and choose Add from clipboard.

  4. Use VPN mode

    In Settings → Config options set Service mode to VPN so every app goes through the tunnel.

  5. Connect

    Select the RealVPN profile and press the big connect button. The first time, macOS asks to add a VPN configuration — click Allow and enter your Mac password.

  6. Check it works

    Open realvpn.io — the Live check card at the top shows the IP and country websites see. It should be the RealVPN server, not your own.

Hiddify can’t connect? Generate a config for another location, or check I can’t connect. Generate a separate config for each device so you can manage them individually in My devices.
