Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1244

I updated using AmneziaVPN_4.8.2.3.dmg, Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 and lost all the settings. The app is blank. Sorry, I can't remember recent app version.

I have backups using Time Machine.

Can you tell me where the client setting are stored?
I want to restore the backup to get my settings back.

Thanks you so much!

Nope. Unfortunately I had to recreate the accesses and the servers. Now I make backups manually.

Found all configs at /Users/%user%/Library/Preferences/
Copied from timemachine backup:

AmneziaVPN.plist
e.AmneziaVPN.plist
org.amneziavpn.AmneziaVPN.plist

And copied two keys from the KeyChain with name AmneziaVPN-Keychain, where stored keys for decode keys in Plists.

And all servers and preferences transfered and working.
