HTTP Custom config files for MTN South Africa 2026

Q: What should I use when my MTN South Africa HTTP Custom config is patched?

When MTN patches your HTTP Custom config, switch to Ha Tunnel Plus using an MTN South Africa-specific .hat config. Ha Tunnel Plus uses SSH tunnelling on different ports that MTN's DPI filtering affects less than HTTP proxy ports. It is slower than HTTP Custom but more durable when MTN actively targets HTTP proxy traffic.
