HTTP Custom Config Files Download
HTTP Custom config files are one of the most reliable ways to access free internet on Android — if you have the right .hc file for your network. This guide covers everything: what HTTP Custom is, how .hc config files work, how to import them, and where to download working files for your carrier right now.

What is HTTP Custom?
HTTP Custom is a free Android VPN app that connects to the internet by tunnelling traffic through a custom SSL or SSH connection. Unlike most VPN apps with fixed settings, HTTP Custom uses importable .hc config files — small text files that tell the app exactly how to connect on a specific carrier. This matters because every mobile network is different. A config file that works on MTN South Africa will not work on Airtel Kenya. The .hc file carries the correct server address, payload, and headers for your carrier, so you don't have to configure anything manually. HTTP Custom is widely used across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia — wherever carriers have zero-rated domains or where data costs are high enough that a working free internet config is worth finding.How HTTP Custom .hc Config Files Work
Each .hc config file contains a set of connection instructions tailored to a specific network. When you import the file, HTTP Custom reads it and sets up the tunnel automatically. The key components inside a config file are: Payload settings — crafted to match what the carrier's inspection system expects to see, so traffic passes through without being charged. SSL or SSH tunnel — wraps your traffic in an encrypted channel that also hides what you are doing from the network. Custom headers — some carriers check the HTTP host header to decide whether to zero-rate traffic. The config sets this to a domain the carrier doesn't charge for. Server and port — the proxy server your device connects to before reaching the open internet. When the right config is in place, your device appears to connect to a zero-rated service, and the carrier doesn't bill the data.Download HTTP Custom Config Files by Network

Find the config file for your network in the download grid below.Troubleshooting: Config File Not Connecting
Wrong config for your network — the most common cause. Make sure the carrier in the config name matches your SIM exactly. Config has been patched — carriers update their systems regularly. Sort by "Latest" and try a newer file. If none are working, request an updated config. Wrong HTTP Custom version — older versions of the app sometimes can't read newer .hc files. Download the latest APK here. Server issues — if the config connects but speeds are slow, switch to a different server within the same config (the app usually lists multiple servers). Missing data balance — some configs require a small airtime balance to initiate the connection. Check the config notes on the download page.Stay Updated When Configs Get Patched
No config lasts forever. When a carrier patches a working file, VPN4Pros community members upload replacements — usually within 24 hours. The fastest way to know when a new config is up for your network is to join the WhatsApp channel. You can also bookmark the carrier page for your network directly — it always shows the latest uploads sorted by date. Download HTTP Custom Config Files Request a Config for My Network
