AI Booster Configuration Guide
Where each setting lives, what actually differs between mobile and desktop builds, the import formats accepted, and why an export is not a safe thing to share.
Configuration Guide
Configuration falls into three layers, and it is worth knowing which one you are in before you start changing things.
📋 Subscriptions
Where your nodes come from, and how they refresh
🔧 Proxy settings
Service mode, ports, TUN — the settings that decide what gets routed
⚙️ Advanced
DNS, multiplexing, TLS shaping, kill switch, WARP
Most people never need the third. The defaults are conservative on purpose.
What differs between platforms
The same settings are not present everywhere, and this is the single most common source of "the documentation says there's an option and I can't find it".
| Setting | Mobile (iOS / Android) | Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux) |
|---|---|---|
| Launch at startup | — | Yes |
| Start hidden | — | Yes |
| Connect on launch | — | Yes |
| Quick Settings tile | Android only | — |
| System proxy integration | — | Yes |
Startup behaviour is a desktop concept: mobile operating systems decide for themselves when an app runs. If a page here describes an option your build does not show, the build is right.
Appearance and language
Theme has four modes, not three:
| Mode | |
|---|---|
| System | Follows the operating system |
| Light | |
| Dark | |
| Black | True black rather than dark grey — noticeably better on OLED screens, and a separate choice from Dark |
Language can follow the system or be set explicitly. Setting it explicitly is worth doing if your device language and your preferred reading language differ.
Importing a configuration
Four routes in, all reaching the same place.
| Route | Accepts |
|---|---|
| Paste a link | A node link or a subscription URL |
| Import a file | A configuration file from disk |
| Read the clipboard | Detects a supported link already copied |
| Scan a QR code | Camera-equipped builds |
What counts as a link
Individual node links use the scheme to say which protocol they are:
vless:// · vmess:// · trojan:// · ss:// · hysteria2:// (also hy2://,
hy://) · tuic:// · wg:// · ssh:// · warp://
A WireGuard configuration pasted as text is recognised by its [Interface]
header.
An http:// or https:// URL is treated as a subscription rather than a
node: it is fetched, and can be refreshed later to pick up changes. This is the
difference that matters — a pasted node is frozen at the moment you pasted it, a
subscription is not. See
subscriptions.
A subscription URL is a credential. Anyone holding it can use your service, so treat it like a password — and prefer regenerating it over sharing it.
Exporting and importing settings
Where the build offers it, settings can be exported to a file or the clipboard and imported back later. The exact menu wording differs by platform and version.
An export is plain text, not an encrypted backup. A full export can contain credentials held by the client — WARP device keys and tokens, and the addresses of services your profile uses. Treat an export file the way you would treat a password: do not post it in a support thread, chat, or issue report.
This is worth being blunt about because the natural time to share an export is exactly when you are asking a stranger for help.
Exporting
Builds that support export may offer an anonymised variant, which removes account-linked secrets such as WARP device credentials and the per-application list before writing the file. Use the anonymised form whenever you need to share settings with someone else for troubleshooting.
If your build does not offer an anonymised export, review the file and remove credentials yourself before sharing it.
Importing
An import merges the file's values onto your current settings and then normalises them, so values written by an older version are migrated where the client knows how. Because it overwrites the settings it contains, export a known-good copy first so you can roll back.
Importing does not verify that the endpoints, resolvers, or rules named in the file are trustworthy. Only import files from a source you trust — a configuration file can point your traffic anywhere.
