📶 Zero Balance, Full Internet — How VPN Tunneling Actually Works

:mobile_phone: HA Tunnel Plus & HTTP Injector — Free Data Method Explained

Zero data balance. Full internet access. Here’s how it works.


ISPs offer “zero-rated” websites (health portals, education sites, promos) that don’t consume data. VPN tunneling apps exploit this by routing ALL your traffic through these free domains. Your ISP sees the zero-rated site. You get full internet.


🎯 How It Works (Simple Version)
Step What Happens
1 Your ISP allows free access to certain sites (zero-rated)
2 VPN app connects using that site’s SNI/host
3 ISP thinks you’re accessing the free site
4 App tunnels ALL traffic through that connection
5 You browse freely — ISP doesn’t bill the data

Key term: SNI = Server Name Indication (tells ISP which site you’re “visiting”)

📱 Apps You Need (Pick One)
App Platform File Type Difficulty
HA Tunnel Plus Android .hat Easiest
HTTP Injector Android/iOS .ehi Medium
HTTP Custom Android .hc Medium
NPV Tunnel Android .npv Easy

All available on Play Store. HTTP Injector also on App Store.

⚡ Fastest Setup (Import Config)

Don’t configure manually — import pre-made files:

Resource What It Has
aimtuto.com/ha-tunnel-files .hat files by country
aimtuto.com/http-injector-files .ehi files by country
aimtuto.com/http-custom-files .hc files by country

Steps: Download file → Open app → Import → Start → Done.

🔧 Manual Setup (If No Config Works)

You need: SNI bug host for your country/network.

Get SNI hosts:

Then:

  1. Open HA Tunnel Plus → Custom Setup → Direct Connection
  2. Select Custom SNI → Paste your SNI host
  3. Port: 443 → Toggle “Preserve SNI” ON
  4. Start → If connected, you’re good
⚠️ Troubleshooting
Issue Fix
Won’t connect Try different SNI host from generator
Connects but no internet Toggle “Use Realm Host” ON

For 2026, none of these methods is operational, as operators and providers have closed all known loopholes of such mechanisms.

This didn’t work in my country, the traffic is consumed in exactly the same way, the difference is only in the speed of the Internet, and thanks to this, the ping has become less
