ISSUE: Tunnel configs do not save after restarting app

[straydevil]

Describe the issue
Every time i restart TunnlTo or my PC at all (which also leads to starting TunnlTo as it's in autorun) its config resets to something like mid-august state, resetting to old tunnel which i set up at that time. New configs don't save for persistent amount of time, and restarting TunnlTo leads to state reset.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set a new tunnel
2. Click Save
3. Exit TunnlTo
4. Start TunnlTo
5. See error

Expected behavior
Setting up new tunnel saves it in some place and not resets to old state every TunnlTo restart

I am experiencing exactly the same issue.

I cannot think of a reason why this would be happening. The configs are stored in Edge local storage. You can see the configs here:

• Right click somewhere in the TunnlTo app
• Select "Inspect"
• Select "Application" tab
• Expand "Local Storage" in the left panel and then select "https://tauri.localhost"

On the right panel you will see the "tunnels" key.

Is there anything unusual with the setup of Microsoft Edge on your PC's? What version of Windows are you running?

Had the same problem, launched Edge, it said it was updated (don't know when, since I'm not using it). Now I can update or delete configs. Thank you.
edit: Nope, have the same problem anyway. Every time I restart my pc my config resets to an old one. I'm using windows 11. I've checked Edge and it's updated.

for me, completely removing this version of TunnlTo and its configuration files, then installing older version worked just fine.
not a fix, but workaround

@cutscries I had the same issue. I just uninstalled TunnlTo and WireSock VPN, then reinstalled them, and the issue was resolved.

I have the same issue. Previously the settings were saved permanently, but after updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the settings are not being saved. Of course, other issues could be the cause, but the most likely cause seems to be Windows 11.

same. bump.
UPD:
This worked for me, but I dunno if this is the workaround for anyone else

Don't forget to backup your configs

1. Goto Appdata > Local.
2. Remove com.tunnl.to
3. Import your configs again

It has solved local store resetting to old configs

I suspect it is something to do with a webview2 windows update.

Looking forward to a proper fix of this, it's quite annoying

I suspect it is something to do with a webview2 windows update.

The bug has reoccured couple of weeks after. It might be an issue with local store. I've been playing around with storage folders in EBWebView > Default. Removing Local Storage (Also removed Sessions, Session Storage, shared_dbs, but I am not certain these parts of an app are where bug is) and re-importing configs back are solving this issue temporarily.

[brendanosborne]

All I can do with this version is update dependencies and hope for the best, as I can't replicate the issue. It appears to be something to do with windows update and Edge.

Local storage has been a pain to deal with. In the premium beta I've started moving away from local storage altogether.

When will this error be fixed? For three months, people suffer and the developer does nothing!

[benten115124ua]

How do I change the app settings at all? Is there a working way? I can't even turn off the autorun of the application to try alternative options.

[Ushakovi]

Deleting the User\AppData\Local\com.tunnel.to\EBWebView\Default folder and client settings again helps me. The settings are saved, but if you need to change them after that, then you need to do it again

And do this every time I want to change something? I have several different tunnels configured in the program, and when I delete a folder they are all erased. The program does not have the ability to export settings and you have to rewrite everything manually. It takes a lot of time and is not convenient at all. Why doesn't the developer of the program just fix this error?

Same, made new configs yesterday, opened the app today, all the settings are gone.
It wasn't saved :(

[MyLegIsPotato]

Same problem here, I've opened once Edge (since I never use it), then removed the User\AppData\Local\com.tunnel.to\EBWebView\Default folder. Seems that the settings got saved now. I don't plan on changing them later so not an issue for now.

Thanks a lot! I've tried the some methods but your comments help me to resolved my problem.

Since you're using Tauri, perhaps it's some kind of browser cache that keeps the settings?

How did I come to such conclusion:

I renamed the folder AppData\Local\TunnlTo to Tunnl_To, uninstalled the app, the installed it again. Magically it got the settings from previous installation, because I didn't rename/remove the AppData\Local\com.tunnl.to folder prior to reinstallation.

Nevermind, the AppData\Local\TunnlTo only stores tunnel.conf for WireSock, all the other data is in localStorage in AppData\Local\com.tunnl.to.

You really should store the settings somewhere else, and not rely on browser's local storage.
