How to Import and Export EHI Config Files in HTTP Injector (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’re using HTTP Injector for VPN tunneling, you’ve likely heard of EHI files. These configuration files are a central part of how HTTP Injector works—they allow users to save, share, and load custom VPN settings easily.

While many advanced users are already familiar with importing and exporting EHI files, the process can still be confusing for beginners. With recent updates adding more features and options, it’s become even more important to understand how to properly manage these config files.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process of exporting and importing EHI configuration files in HTTP Injector—clearly and simply. Whether you’re setting up your first connection or sharing a tweak with others, this article has you covered.

What Is an EHI File?

An EHI file (.ehi) is a configuration file used by HTTP Injector. It stores settings for custom VPN tunneling methods like SSH, V2Ray, Shadowsocks, and others. These settings can include proxies, payloads, server addresses, encryption methods, and more.

Sharing EHI files is a common way to distribute working VPN settings—especially for free internet configurations or region-specific tunnels.

Why Export or Import an EHI File?

• 🔁 To reuse a working VPN setup without re-entering details

• 🤝 To share your configuration with others

• 📥 To download a configuration shared by another user

• 🔐 To lock and protect your custom setup

How to Export an EHI Config File in HTTP Injector

Let’s assume you’ve already configured your HTTP Injector app with your preferred tunneling method (e.g. SSH, SSL, or V2Ray) and want to export the config file for backup or sharing.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Open HTTP Injector

Launch the HTTP Injector app on your Android device. Make sure your VPN settings are complete and working properly.

Step 2: Tap the “Paper Tray” Icon

Look for the icon with a tray or folder symbol—usually located at the top-right of the screen.

• Tap on it.

• Choose “Export Config.”

Step 3: Grant Storage Permissions

If prompted, allow HTTP Injector to access your device’s storage. This is necessary to save the file.

Step 4: Name Your Config File

Give your configuration a recognizable name. For example:

• MyFreeInternet2025.ehi

• UgandaVPN_SSH.ehi

Step 5: Choose What to Include

Here, you’ll see several checkboxes for different tunneling methods. Choose only what you’ve used in the configuration. For example:

• If you only configured SSH, select “SSH.”

• If your setup also includes V2Ray or Shadowsocks, tick those as needed.

Note: Selecting additional tunneling methods you haven’t configured may expose unnecessary or incomplete settings to others.

Step 6: Lock and Protect (Optional)

You can lock the config to:

• Prevent editing

• Hide proxy details

• Protect payloads or DNS settings

If you want to make your config read-only for others, toggle on “Lock Config” and select what to restrict under the “General” tab.

You can also add a custom note—such as:

“Free internet config for testing in Region XYZ.”

Step 7: Save the Config File

When everything’s set:

• Tap the Export button.

• Choose whether to save both a locked and unlocked version (recommended).

• Select your storage destination—internal memory, SD card, or cloud storage.

Once saved, your .ehi file will be ready to share or use later.

How to Import an EHI Config File in HTTP Injector

Have an EHI file and want to use it in HTTP Injector? Here’s how to import it.

Step 1: Open HTTP Injector

Launch the app.

Step 2: Tap the “Paper Tray” Icon Again

This time, choose “Import Config.”

Step 3: Locate the File

Depending on where the file is saved:

• Select “Internal Storage” if you downloaded or transferred the file manually.

• Navigate to the “HTTP Injector” folder if that’s where you saved it earlier.

If you used a cloud option, you may need to download the file first.

Step 4: Select the Config

Tap on the desired .ehi file. If it’s locked, HTTP Injector will load it in read-only mode. If it’s unlocked, you’ll be able to see and adjust the settings.

You’ll also see any notes the creator added, such as:

“This is a config file for free internet.”

Step 5: Start the VPN Connection

Once imported, tap “Start” to activate the connection. If the configuration is valid and your internet settings align with it, the VPN should connect successfully.

Tips for Managing Config Files

• Always keep an unlocked backup of your own config files in case you need to make edits.

• Use descriptive names for EHI files to easily distinguish between setups.

• Only download EHI files from trusted sources to avoid unsafe or malicious configurations.

• If sharing your config publicly, consider locking sensitive details like IP addresses and proxy credentials.

Final Thoughts

HTTP Injector is a powerful tool for secure and flexible VPN tunneling—but with that power comes complexity. Understanding how to import and export EHI files properly helps you make the most of the app while maintaining security and efficiency.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned user, following the steps in this guide should help you confidently back up and share your configurations.
