FAQ
Ha Tunnel Plus Vodacom South Africa questions
Does Ha Tunnel Plus work on Vodacom South Africa?
Yes. Ha Tunnel Plus works on Vodacom South Africa using .hat config files. It uses SSH tunnelling and is a reliable fallback when Vodacom patches HTTP Custom configs. Ha Tunnel Plus routes through SSH ports that Vodacom's DPI filtering affects less than HTTP proxy ports, making it more durable when Vodacom actively targets proxy traffic.
What is a .hat config file?
A .hat file is the config format used exclusively by Ha Tunnel Plus. It contains SSH server credentials and payload settings tuned to Vodacom South Africa's network. Import the .hat file and connect, no manual configuration needed. Do not use a .hat file in HTTP Custom or HTTP Injector. Each app uses its own format.
How long does a Vodacom South Africa Ha Tunnel Plus config last?
Ha Tunnel Plus configs on Vodacom typically last longer than HTTP Custom configs because SSH tunnelling is harder for Vodacom's DPI to detect. However, Vodacom periodically updates its rules and may block SSH server IPs over time.
