Unbreakable VPN Connection to Fix HideMyAss Disconnects by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
HMA VPN stops working or keeps disconnecting mostly because it routes everything through one internet connection: when that connection weakens, the VPN drops. Losing a HideMyAss VPN session in the middle of a bank transfer is worse than an annoyance, because for those seconds your traffic can be unprotected.
Speedify is an app that joins two or more internet connections, such as home Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet and a phone’s 4G/5G cellular, into one encrypted internet connection, so downloads and uploads get faster and one weak connection cannot end the session. Speedify’s speed and failover gains need two or more internet connections; on a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and can be a little slower.
Speedify keeps your VPN tunnel up when one internet connection drops out
If HMA VPN keeps dropping on you, you are not the only one. Read on for what causes HideMyAss disconnects, five fixes, and how Speedify keeps a bank transfer or a big upload private and running until it finishes.
Why HMA VPN Keeps Disconnecting or Will Not Connect
Like most VPN apps, HMA VPN sends all your traffic to its VPN server over one internet connection. Even if your laptop, iPhone or Android device has Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular available, the VPN tunnel runs on only one of them, so every packet takes that one route to the VPN server and back.
Relying on one internet connection also makes the VPN fragile. One change in your Wi-Fi signal or a dip in your cell signal, and HMA VPN loses its server. If you are traveling (by train, bus or car), drops come more often, because your device keeps moving between Wi-Fi networks and cell towers.
If HMA VPN will not connect at all, rather than dropping mid-session, check the network first. Some school, work, hotel and public Wi-Fi networks block VPN connections, so try the same phone or laptop on 4G/5G cellular: if HMA VPN connects there, the Wi-Fi network is the cause; if it fails everywhere, update or reinstall the app, as in the steps below.
5 Steps to Deal with HMA VPN Disconnects
These five steps lower the chance of HMA VPN disconnecting. None of them removes the cause: like most VPN apps, HMA VPN runs over one internet connection at a time, so when that connection stalls, the VPN drops.
To reduce HMA VPN disconnects, you can:
- Only connect through Wi-Fi where you have a strong, stable signal and where no one else is sharing the connection.
- Stay in one place while connected: moving between Wi-Fi networks or cell towers makes the VPN reconnect.
- Try a different HMA VPN server closer to you, or a different VPN protocol in the HMA VPN settings.
- On 4G/5G cellular, connect where the signal is strongest.
- Update the HMA VPN app, or reinstall it if it keeps failing to connect.
How Speedify Keeps the VPN Connected When HMA VPN Drops
If these steps do not stop the drops, there is another option: Speedify, a VPN for mobility that keeps working as your device moves between networks. The Speedify protocol was designed from the ground up to be:
- Fast
- Secure
- Reliable
Speedify works differently from traditional VPNs: Speedify connects to the VPN server over several internet connections in parallel and splits your traffic across them packet by packet, so your data can use more than one route at once.
Speedify’s technology for combining internet connections lets your desktop, laptop or phone use multiple Internet connections simultaneously, for example Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular. If one of them fails, automatic failover keeps you connected to the VPN through the other one with the same public IP address, so a bank or other logged-in session does not see a new address. Some banks block VPN addresses; if yours does, check the bank’s rules, or add the bank’s site under Settings > Bypass so it goes outside the encrypted tunnel.
Speedify checks the quality of each internet connection and reroutes traffic on its own, so you do not have to manage any of it.
