HidoNetwork check
Test your connection speed and see at a glance which services are reachable through the current server.
Open Network check
Go to Settings → Advanced → Network check. This page has two parts: Speed test and Unlock check.
Speed test
Tap Start test. Hido measures three things in turn:
| Measure | What it means |
|---|---|
| Ping | Response time, in milliseconds. Lower is better for video calls and games. |
| Download | The speed of receiving data. It decides how fast video plays and files download. |
| Upload | The speed of sending data. It matters when you send files or stream live. |
The results reflect the connection in use. When the VPN is off, or when the speed test server is routed direct, Hido shows Direct, without VPN so you know the numbers are for your own network.
To compare two servers: test, change servers in the Servers tab, then tap Test again.
Unlock check
Tap Check now and Hido tries to reach a set of services through the current connection:
| Group | Services |
|---|---|
| International services | Google, GitHub, YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Spotify, TikTok, Discord, Bilibili, Telegram, Steam, Reddit, Apple |
| AI services | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini |
One full check uses about 5–10 MB of data and reflects the current connection and routing rules.
Reading the results
| Result | What it means |
|---|---|
| Available / Unlocked | The service is reachable through this connection |
| Originals only | The streaming service only offers its own productions in this region |
| Not in this region | The service does not serve the country where the server is located |
| Restricted, Blocks this network, Blocked | The service refuses the server’s IP address |
| Timed out, Couldn't check | No answer came back; try again or change servers |
If a service is not reachable, try a server in another country, then tap Check again.
