A 30-Second Diagnosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> usually comes down to your internet provider failing to resolve <code>hfm.com<\/code> correctly through its default DNS. The website may not open, but your myHF account, the trading servers and your running orders do not change by themselves. Switching to Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 normally restores access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The behaviour can differ between providers, and between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If the site opens on one network but fails on another, the problem is most likely DNS. The licensing picture is analysed separately in our <a href=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/en\/hfm-review\">HFM review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you change any settings, match your symptom against this table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Symptom<\/th><th>Likely cause<\/th><th>What to do<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Chrome shows <code>DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN<\/code>, but mobile data or another network opens it<\/td><td>The ISP resolver is not returning the right address<\/td><td>Enable DNS 1.1.1.1 in Chrome using the 5 steps below<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Every network fails, the page loads forever or shows a maintenance notice<\/td><td>HFM maintenance or a server incident<\/td><td>Check the in-app notices and contact HFM support<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The website opens but myHF rejects your login details<\/td><td>Wrong password, wrong region or a restricted account<\/td><td>Reset the password and contact support \u2014 changing DNS does not fix an account issue<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MT4\/MT5 and the <strong>HFM app<\/strong> still show prices, only the website fails<\/td><td>Only the web domain is unreachable<\/td><td>Keep managing orders in the app or MT4\/MT5, then change DNS<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a number of countries, international forex brokers are not licensed to operate domestically, and broker domains have been restricted before. That makes it important to separate a website failure from the state of your account and the trading servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Tell You Are Being Blocked At The DNS Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn Wi-Fi off and try <code>hfm.com<\/code> over mobile data. If it works, the fault is probably the Wi-Fi network. Then open <code>one.one.one.one\/help<\/code> to check 1.1.1.1 and DoH, and use <code>chrome:\/\/net-internals\/#dns<\/code> to clear stale records. <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> at the domain layer does not erase your balance or your orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-dns\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Change Chrome DNS To 1.1.1.1 Mean, And Why Does It Restore Access?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Why HFM is blocked at the DNS layer and how to change Chrome DNS to 1.1.1.1 to restore access\" class=\"wp-image-15938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/changing-chrome-dns-what-it-is-and-why-dns-1-1-1-1-restores-access.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>An ISP resolver returning the wrong address causes a name resolution error; DNS 1.1.1.1 returns the right one and the connection opens again.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS is the \u201cphone book\u201d that turns <code>hfm.com<\/code> into a server address. If your provider&#8217;s resolver returns the wrong answer or none at all, Chrome can report that the page does not exist even though the website is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you <strong>change Chrome DNS<\/strong> to 1.1.1.1, the browser asks Cloudflare over DNS over HTTPS instead of relying solely on the default resolver. See <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.cloudflare.com\/1.1.1.1\/setup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloudflare&#8217;s official setup documentation<\/a> for the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a relatively fast way to <strong>access HFM<\/strong> again, because it needs no extra software and does not change your whole device&#8217;s connection. The same method applies to comparable cases such as <a href=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/en\/xm-blocked-access-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome\">XM blocked and how to access it with DNS 1.1.1.1<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/en\/exness-blocked-access-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome\">Exness blocked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Secure DNS Different From Ordinary DNS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secure DNS encrypts the query to the provider you selected. It does not turn a fake website into a safe one, so you still have to check the domain before entering a password, an OTP, or making a deposit or withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Changing DNS The Same As Using A VPN?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. DNS only changes where domain names are looked up, while a VPN routes your traffic through an intermediate server. DNS does not sit permanently on the MT4\/MT5 price path, so it normally does not slow execution. If <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> is being enforced by some other mechanism, you will need the next options below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"five-steps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Access HFM: Enable DNS 1.1.1.1 In Chrome In 5 Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome-1024x576.png\" alt=\"How to access HFM by enabling Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 in Chrome in 5 steps\" class=\"wp-image-15961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/backcom.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/how-to-access-hfm-enable-dns-1-1-1-1-chrome.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>How to access HFM: turn on Use secure DNS and pick Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 in Chrome settings.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how to <strong>access HFM<\/strong> using secure DNS in desktop Chrome.

If Cloudflare is not shown, choose the custom provider field and enter <code>https:\/\/cloudflare-dns.com\/dns-query<\/code>. This is the decisive step when you <strong>change Chrome DNS<\/strong> to 1.1.1.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/10468685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google documents Chrome&#8217;s secure DNS feature<\/a> along the same path: Settings \u2192 Privacy and security \u2192 Security. Never enter a DNS address taken from an unfamiliar website \u2014 an untrustworthy resolver can hand back fake addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Reload The HFM Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close the Settings tab, reopen your saved HFM link or reload with <code>Ctrl + F5<\/code>. If <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> was caused by the default resolver, the page usually works after this step. If it still fails, flush the DNS cache as described in the next section and retry in an incognito window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole process takes about two minutes.

Work through the five options below to establish whether the fault is the cache, the resolver, the device, the website or the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Flush The DNS Cache And The Browser Cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chrome may still be holding the bad answer it resolved earlier. On Windows, open Command Prompt with the right permissions, type <code>ipconfig \/flushdns<\/code> and press Enter. Then open <code>chrome:\/\/net-internals\/#dns<\/code>, choose <strong>Clear host cache<\/strong>, close every Chrome window and restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it still fails, clear the cookies for <code>hfm.com<\/code> specifically or try an incognito window. This helps when the new resolver is already working but Chrome remembers the old record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use A Backup Resolver When 1.1.1.1 Is Blocked Too<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chrome, switch the provider to Google Public DNS or enter <code>https:\/\/dns.google\/dns-query<\/code>. At the operating system level you can try <code>1.0.0.1<\/code>, <code>8.8.8.8<\/code> and <code>8.8.4.4<\/code>. Change one setting at a time and re-test, so you know which one actually worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If secure DNS itself is restricted, try the 1.1.1.1 app with WARP. Because WARP routes more of your traffic and can add latency, do not make it your default while scalping if the ping rises noticeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Change DNS At The Operating System Or Router<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When several browsers and apps all fail, a Chrome-only setting is not enough. On Windows, open the network settings, select the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, set <strong>DNS server assignment<\/strong> to manual and enter <code>1.1.1.1<\/code> and <code>1.0.0.1<\/code>. On macOS, go to <strong>System Settings \u2192 Network \u2192 Details \u2192 DNS<\/strong> and add the same two addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing DNS in the router&#8217;s Internet, WAN or DHCP section applies it to every device. The menu location depends on the modem \u2014 write down the old DNS before you edit anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use The HFM App Or myHF For Funding, And MT4\/MT5 To Trade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>HFM app<\/strong> is the quickest fallback while the website is down. According to the official app page, existing users can sign in, reach their trading accounts and manage funds in the HF Wallet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hfm.com\/int\/en\/platforms\/mobile-application\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the official HFM app from HFM&#8217;s own page<\/a> so you are sent to the correct Google Play or App Store listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the <strong>HFM app<\/strong> shows your balance and MT4\/MT5 still quotes prices, the incident is probably limited to the website. Keep managing orders on the platform, and see our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/en\/how-to-log-in-to-hfm-mt4-mt5\">logging in to HFM on MT4\/MT5<\/a> if you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If both the app and MT5 lose connection, switch to mobile data or change DNS device-wide. Check the quotes, the journal and the official notices before drawing a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Contact HFM Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> persists on every network, contact support through the app, a myHF session that is still signed in, or an official contact channel. Ask two specific questions: whether the system is under maintenance, and which domain HFM confirms for your region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never post a password, an OTP, an identity document or card details into a community group. If the problem involves login or verification, changing DNS to <strong>access HFM<\/strong> is no substitute for account support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fake-sites\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warning: Do Not Log In On Fake HFM Sites While Hunting For A \u201cNew Link\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> hits, searching for a \u201cnew HFM link\u201d can land you on a website that has copied the interface. Fake domains often bolt on a country abbreviation or a hyphen to look official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official HFM Domains And The Ones To Be Careful With<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Status<\/th><th>Domain or domain pattern<\/th><th>What to do<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Verified through HFM&#8217;s own systems<\/td><td><code>hfm.com<\/code><\/td><td>The international site and HFM&#8217;s language paths<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Verified through HFM&#8217;s own systems<\/td><td><code>my.hfm.com<\/code><\/td><td>The myHF client area \u2014 open it from a saved link or the app<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Not sufficiently established as official<\/td><td><code>hfviet.com<\/code><\/td><td>Do not enter any details until HFM or the partner responsible confirms it directly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Unverified and structured to cause confusion<\/td><td>Names such as <code>hfm-vn<\/code>, <code>hfm-viet<\/code>, <code>vnd-hfm<\/code>, <code>viet-hfm<\/code>, <code>hfm-vietnam<\/code><\/td><td>Do not log in, do not deposit, do not download an app from these<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This table does not claim that every unverified domain is fraudulent. It does mean you should not hand over sensitive information before you have official confirmation \u2014 use the app or a link you saved earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules For Accessing HFM Safely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check for HTTPS and read the whole domain, especially the characters immediately before <code>.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never enter your myHF password or an OTP through a link sent in a private message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable the extra security layers myHF supports, and do not reuse your email password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install the <strong>HFM app<\/strong> only from Google Play, the App Store or HFM&#8217;s official app page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth reviewing the <a href=\"https:\/\/backcom.io\/en\/signs-of-forex-broker-scam-how-to-avoid\">signs of a forex broker scam<\/a> as well.

The change does not alter your balance or your control over the account. What DNS does not do is protect you when you log in on a lookalike domain. Always check the domain before entering a password, an OTP or payment details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DNS 1.1.1.1 Slow My Connection Or Affect Execution?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNS is used only while the device resolves a domain; it does not sit permanently on the MT4\/MT5 price feed. Changing the resolver therefore does not normally affect execution. If web pages feel slow, try <code>1.0.0.1<\/code> or Google DNS \u2014 note that WARP can increase ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does HFM Blocked Affect My Funds And Open Positions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally not. A name resolution failure does not directly touch the servers, your balance or orders you have already sent. Stop Loss and Take Profit continue to work if they were set successfully. Check in MT4\/MT5 or the <strong>HFM app<\/strong>; if every channel fails, contact HFM through official means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does The HFM App Work When The Website Is Blocked?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases the <strong>HFM app<\/strong> keeps working and still supports trading accounts and the HF Wallet. If the app will not connect, try mobile data, Android Private DNS or the 1.1.1.1 app on iPhone. Install only from official stores and check the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Have To Change DNS Every Time I Open HFM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Chrome remembers the DNS provider until you change the setting. You only need to switch if the network blocks DoH, Cloudflare has an incident, or 1.1.1.1 stops working. In that case try <code>1.0.0.1<\/code>, Google DNS, or a resolver set at the operating system level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <strong>HFM blocked<\/strong> happens, work through three layers: turn on Cloudflare DNS in Chrome; if that is not enough, change DNS device-wide, on the router or on your phone; finally, use the <strong>HFM app<\/strong> or MT4\/MT5 to manage the account while you wait. The safest way to <strong>access HFM<\/strong> is still the official domain or a link you have already verified.
