关于.ehi文件无法正常读取及适配打开工具的技术咨询

Hey there! I’ve run into .ehi files a few times, so let me walk you through this clearly.

.ehi files are exclusive configuration files for EH Tunnel VPN—a popular VPN tool used to set up secure connections. They store encrypted VPN parameters like server addresses, connection protocols, and authentication details. Since they’re in a binary/encrypted format, opening them with Notepad or WordPad will just show garbled characters, which is totally normal.

• Primary option: EH Tunnel VPN client
  This is the intended way to handle .ehi files. Install the EH Tunnel VPN app (available on Android and iOS), then import the .ehi file directly into the app. It will automatically load the VPN configuration, and you can start using the VPN right away.

• For viewing/editing content (if possible):
  Many .ehi files are actually renamed ZIP archives. Try renaming the file extension from .ehi to .zip, then use any unzipping tool (like WinRAR, 7-Zip) to extract it. Inside, you’ll usually find a config.json or similar text file that you can open with a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, etc.) to view or modify the VPN settings. Just remember to rename it back to .ehi when you’re done if you want to use it in the VPN app again.

  Note: If renaming to .zip doesn’t work, the file is likely encrypted. In that case, you can only load it via the EH Tunnel VPN app—no way to view the raw content directly.
