When Hianime isn’t working, it’s usually due to one of these issues – here’s a breakdown to help you fix it: Use a VPN, e.g., Proton, Windscribe set to another region (e.g., Netherlands, HK).
1. 🌐 ISP Blocking or Regional Restrictions
HiAnime may not be working due to a few potential reasons: server issues, browser problems, or interference from browser extensions. To troubleshoot, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, disabling browser extensions, or accessing the site through a different browser or network, possibly using a VPN.
Solution:
Use a VPN, e.g., Proton, Windscribe set to another region (e.g., Netherlands, HK).
Or change DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1) or Google’s (8.8.8.8) at the device or router level.
2. ⚙️ Browser Issues & Ad Blockers
Problems like slow loading, blank screens, or playback failures often come from:
Aggressive ad blockers or privacy shields
Unsupported browsers like Brave
Outdated cache
Corrupted cookies
User feedback:
“Brave browser does not support our player… try with other browser such as Chrome or Firefox.”
Solution:
Switch to Chrome or Firefox, or disable Shields in Brave
Clear cache/cookies (incognito/private mode helps too)
Temporarily disable ad blockers or whitelist Hianime

3. 🛠️ Site or Server Downtime
Hianime goes offline occasionally due to maintenance, DDoS or heavy traffic peaks. Monitors like DownForEveryone show outages lasting from 30 to 60 minutes. Recent example: July 4, 2025 (~31 min).
Solution:
Check site status at DownDetector or DownForEveryone
Wait it out (usually resolved within an hour)
4. 🔄 Proxy Domains and Mirrors
When .to domain is blocked, Hianime may work on alternate domains such as:
Reddit users advise switching to these proxy domains:
“Try hianime.sx” / “hianime.mn is working” / “use hianime.pe”
5. 📡 Slow Loading or Buffering
High traffic can cause slow streaming or frequent buffering, especially during peak hours in India
Solution:
Refresh the page
Switch to a proxy domain or change the server source
Try again outside peak hours (evenings in GMT+5)
✅ Step-by-Step Fix Guide
Test your network: Change from Wi‑Fi to mobile data or vice versa.
Change DNS: Set 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 system-wide or via browser/mobile settings.
Switch domains: Try
.sx,.mn,.nz,.bz,.pe.Use a VPN: Connect to regions like NL, UK, DE, HK.
Clear cache: Reopen in incognito/private mode.
Switch browsers: Use Chrome/Firefox; disable ad blockers.

Wait or try later: If it’s server-side, problems often resolve within an hour.
