Check your link
Last updated October 8, 2026
Before sharing a link with users, check it the way the app will see it. You’ll need curl, base64 and jq.
Request it like the app
curl -sS -D headers.txt -o config.json \
-A 'CosmosClientApp/1.0.0 (iOS; sing-box 1.14.2)' \
'https://example.com/sub/<token>'
head -1 headers.txt # expected: HTTP/2 200
Decode X-Meta
grep -i '^x-meta:' headers.txt | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 -d | jq .
You should get JSON with the fields from the X-Meta header. A base64 error or empty output means the app won’t see the header.
Check the configuration
jq '[.outbounds[].type] | unique' config.json
jq '.outbounds[] | select(.type == "vless") | .tls.reality.enabled' config.json
- Outbound types — only
vlessand the utility typesurltest,selector,direct. - Every
vless—true: Reality is on.
Checklist before sharing
- The link is
https://, and redirects go tohttpstoo. - The response is a sing-box configuration in JSON.
- VLESS + Reality only.
-
X-Metadecodes and contains expiry and country. - Expired access —
403withX-Meta, not404. - Service info (if any) —
version: 1, a square logo up to 256 KB.
Add the profile in the app and connect — if something’s wrong, the error message at the bottom of the screen tells you what (FAQ).
