Where Does Loon Store Configs and Backups?
Loon keeps proxy configs, rules, and scripts in its On My iPhone folder with iCloud Drive mirrors, exported as .conf files for backup and sharing.
Last updated
Loon splits storage between local app folders and iCloud Drive mirrors like its proxy app cousins. Config files, rule sets, and scripts exist in both places, with multi config support for switching setups. Export writes a portable .conf anywhere Files reaches.
That export is the backup story. Local folders hold the working copies while exported conf files carry setups between devices. Versioned names on exports beat overwriting one file repeatedly when experimenting with rule changes.
Where Loon stores this, by platform
On My iPhone/Loon + iCloud Drive/Loon
Local plus iCloud mirrors for configs, rules, and scripts. Export .conf to Files for backups. Multi config switching built in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Loon config?
Open Config, Export, Save to Files to write the current .conf wherever you choose. Back up before importing anything new. iCloud mirrors sync across your devices when enabled.
Where do Loon rules and scripts live?
Keep node lists, filters, and rewrites as files under the Loon folders and reference them by name. Scripts live beside configs. Remote subscription URLs update without touching local files.
