What is Vi
Vi · Vodafone Idea · the same network
If you are searching for "Vodafone India config file", "Idea config file" or "Vi http custom file", you are in the right place. All three names refer to the same network.
Vi was formed by the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular in 2018
Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merged in 2018 to form Vodafone Idea Limited. The brand was rebranded as Vi in 2020. If you have a SIM card that was originally a Vodafone or Idea SIM, it is now part of the Vi network and uses the same infrastructure. The config files on this page work for all Vi SIMs regardless of whether they were originally issued as Vodafone or Idea SIMs.

Setup guide
How to use HTTP Custom on Vi
From download to connected in under 4 minutes.
1
Install HTTP Custom from Play Store
Search "HTTP Custom" on Google Play Store and install the app. Always use the latest version, older versions may not support current config formats.
2
Download the Vi config file from the table above
Download either Vi config file from the table above. The file will save to your phone's Downloads folder with a .hc extension.
⚠ Make sure you download the Vi config file, not the Jio or Airtel one. The files look similar but only the Vi-specific file will work on a Vi SIM.
3
Import the config into HTTP Custom
Open HTTP Custom. Tap the three-line menu icon in the top left. Select "Import Config". Navigate to Downloads and tap the Vi .hc file. The app will load the Vi config settings automatically.
4
Tap Connect and browse free
Tap the Connect button on the HTTP Custom home screen. The connection usually establishes within 5 to 10 seconds. A key icon in your notification bar confirms you are connected and browsing for free on Vi.
🔳 If the connection fails 3 times, try downloading Vi Config 2 (the alternate server config) from the table above and importing that instead.
Troubleshooting
Vi config not connecting?
Common issues specific to Vi and HTTP Custom.
Config not connecting at all
First confirm you are using a Vi-specific config, Jio and Airtel configs will not connect on Vi. If you are using the correct Vi config, try the alternate server (Config 2 in the table). If neither works, the config may have been patched, request a fresh one below.
Connects but disconnects frequently
Vi's network quality varies significantly by circle and area. If you are in a low-coverage area, the VPN connection will drop more often. Try moving to an area with better Vi 4G signal. Reconnecting usually works immediately after a drop on Vi.
Config worked before but stopped working
Vi patches proxy ports periodically. Download the latest Vi config from the table above and reimport it. This replaces the old config with the current working settings. Vi configs typically last 2 to 4 weeks before being patched.
Speed is very slow on Vi
Vi's overall network speeds are lower than Jio and Airtel in most areas. This is a network infrastructure issue rather than a config problem. Free internet speeds on Vi typically range from 1 to 8 Mbps. If you need higher speeds regularly, consider the Airtel or Jio config files if you have access to a secondary SIM.
FAQ
Vi free internet questions
Does HTTP Custom work on Vi (Vodafone Idea)?
Yes, HTTP Custom works on Vi (Vodafone Idea). Use the Vi-specific .hc config files from this page. Do not use a Jio or Airtel config on a Vi SIM, each network requires its own config file because open ports and proxy settings differ between carriers.
Can I use a Jio or Airtel config file on Vi?
No. Jio, Airtel and Vi have different network architectures. A Jio or Airtel config will not connect on a Vi SIM because the proxy ports and server settings are tuned specifically for each carrier's network. Always download and use the Vi-specific config from this page.
Is Vi the same as Vodafone India or Idea?
Yes. Vi is the brand name for Vodafone Idea Limited, formed when Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merged in 2018 and rebranded as Vi in 2020. If your SIM was originally a Vodafone or Idea SIM, it is now a Vi SIM running on Vi's network. The config files on this page work for all Vi SIMs regardless of their original carrier.
Why does my Vi config keep disconnecting?
Vi patches proxy ports periodically after network maintenance. When a config stops working, download the latest Vi config from this page and reimport it. Vi configs typically last 2 to 4 weeks. Subscribe to update notifications on this page to be alerted when a new Vi config is available.
Does HTTP Custom work on Vi 5G?
Vi 5G rollout is still limited compared to Jio and Airtel. Most Vi users are on 4G. HTTP Custom configs are optimised for Vi 4G. If you are on Vi 5G and experiencing issues, switch your phone to 4G-only mode in mobile network settings and retry. If 5G connectivity is important to you, Airtel's SSH Websocket config on an Airtel SIM performs better on 5G than Vi configs on 5G.
