Iran has two dominant mobile networks. Both operate under deep packet inspection systems that make the choice of VPN app more important here than in most other countries. Read the network sections below before downloading.

MCI (Hamrahe Aval) free internet

Config files for MCI Iran

● Working Apr 2026

MCI (Hamrahe Aval) is Iran's largest and oldest mobile operator, owned by the state-linked Telecommunication Infrastructure Company. It runs 4G LTE in Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad and other major cities. Ha Tunnel Plus is the recommended primary app for Iran given the country's deep packet inspection environment.

💡 Ha Tunnel recommended over HTTP Custom in Iran: Iran's national network uses deep packet inspection (DPI) that can identify and throttle standard HTTP proxy traffic. Ha Tunnel Plus's SSH tunnel over port 443 is significantly more resilient to DPI-based filtering.

Irancell (MTN) free internet

Config files for Irancell

● Working Apr 2026

Irancell is Iran's second-largest operator and is part-owned by MTN Group. Its 4G network is strong in Tehran and the north-west. Irancell's proxy environment differs from MCI, so use the Irancell-specific configs below.

Guide

How to get free internet

Iran has one of the most sophisticated internet filtering systems in the world, operated through a combination of the national SHOMA filtering system and deep packet inspection equipment deployed at the carrier level. This context makes Iran different from every other country on VPN4Pros: Ha Tunnel Plus should be your primary app here, not your fallback.

Standard HTTP Custom configs are more easily identified by Iran's DPI systems because they operate at the HTTP proxy layer, which is well-understood and actively monitored. Ha Tunnel Plus routes traffic via SSH over port 443, which looks identical to normal HTTPS website traffic to DPI equipment. This makes it far harder to selectively block without disrupting all secure web browsing for Iranian users.

When HTTP Custom still makes sense in Iran

There are periods when internet filtering enforcement is lighter, and during these windows HTTP Custom can deliver noticeably faster speeds (5–18 Mbps vs Ha Tunnel's 2–8 Mbps). Experienced Iranian users keep both configs installed and switch between them based on current filtering intensity. If you experience slow or blocked connections on HTTP Custom, switch to Ha Tunnel immediately rather than troubleshooting the HTTP config.

How to import a config file

1
Install the app · Download HTTP Custom or Ha Tunnel Plus from the Google Play Store.
2
Download your config · Pick your network above and save the file to your device.
3
Open the app · Tap the three-line menu (HTTP Custom) or folder icon (Ha Tunnel Plus).
4
Import the config · Tap Import Config (.hc) or Import Profile (.hat) and select your file.
5
Connect · Tap Connect. A key icon in your notification bar confirms the tunnel is active.

FAQ

Common questions

Why is Ha Tunnel Plus recommended over HTTP Custom in Iran? +
Iran's carrier-level DPI systems can identify and throttle standard HTTP proxy traffic used by HTTP Custom. Ha Tunnel Plus routes via SSH over port 443, which is nearly impossible to filter selectively without breaking all HTTPS browsing. This makes it significantly more resilient to Iran's filtering systems.
Do these configs work during peak filtering periods in Iran? +
Ha Tunnel Plus configs are the most resilient option during periods of heightened filtering. However, no VPN solution is guaranteed during active, targeted crackdowns on VPN traffic. The SSH-over-443 approach is the most effective available method.
Can I use an MCI config on Irancell? +
No. Each config targets the proxy infrastructure of a specific carrier. Download the Irancell-specific config if you have an Irancell SIM.
Is using VPN tools legal in Iran? +
Unauthorised VPN use is technically restricted in Iran under SHOMA regulations, though enforcement is inconsistent. Only government-approved VPNs are officially permitted. VPN4Pros provides this information for educational purposes only. Users should be aware of the regulatory environment and act accordingly.
