Where Does Lantern Store Servers on Android?

Where Lantern keeps servers, usage and settings on Android for backup, moves and full migration.

Last updated

Lantern keeps servers, usage stats and options in app private storage on Android. Endpoints refresh from the network; only customs and settings need moving between phones you own.

Back up before ROM flashes; private data dies with wipes. Package name can vary by regional builds, so prefer in-app flows over file browsing. The VPN slot needs re-granting on new installs on every phone you own, without exceptions.
