Sharing servers by QR code

The quickest way to move a server from a computer to a phone is not a chat message — it is a QR code. Generate on screen, scan with the phone, done in three seconds, and nothing passes through a third-party server.

What is inside the QR code

Exactly the share link text, nothing more:

Share link structure (VLESS example)

vless://UUID@host:port?param1=value1&param2=value2#label

Redacted real example:
vless://[email protected]:443
  ?encryption=none&security=tls&sni=hk1.example.com
  &type=ws&host=hk1.example.com&path=%2Fray#HK-01

So scanning yields precisely what copying the link would. A QR code is just a visual encoding of text.

Generating one from the desktop

Select the serverA single server, not the whole subscription.
Right-click → share / QR codeA window shows the code.
Scan from the phoneChoose "scan QR code" in the mobile client and point it at the screen.
Confirm the importThe server appears in the phone's list.

Computer to phone in four steps

Subscriptions can be QR codes too

	Server QR	Subscription QR
Contents	One server, fully specified	One subscription URL
After import	A single server	The full list, kept up to date
Best for	Sharing one server once	Setting up your own new device
Sensitivity	High (contains UUID)	Higher — it is your account credential

For setting up your own phone, the subscription QR is the better deal: scan once, and new servers arrive automatically rather than needing another scan each time.

When scanning goes wrong

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Will not scan	Screen glare, code too small, low brightness	Enlarge the window, raise brightness
Scans but reports a bad format	Content is not a standard share link	Check how it was generated, or copy-paste instead
Imports but does not work	Protocol unsupported by the mobile client	Use a client that supports it
Label is garbled	Encoding mismatch	Rename it after import — functionality is unaffected

Better options for regular syncing

Use a subscription everywhere. New servers propagate automatically with no manual transfer at all.
LAN clipboard sync. Devices on the same network can share clipboard contents without touching the internet.
Password manager. Keep the subscription URL as a secure note; it syncs with encryption.
