Extract text from SocksIP and ScanIP files (SIP)
To convert SIP SocksIP/ScanIP files to another format, you need SocksIP Tunnel Android App or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration or Project Data" file type, you need software like SocksIP Tunnel Android App or a similar tool.
The .sip file extension is highly fragmented. It is primarily used as a SocksIP Tunnel Configuration file, holding custom VPN routing rules and payloads for Android applications to bypass firewalls. In engineering contexts, it functions as a Simpleware ScanIP project file storing 3D image data, or a simulation model project from Powersim Studio. You might also encounter it as a C/C++ binding definition created by Riverbank Computing.
Because the .sip format is used by unrelated programs, opening it requires highly specific software. VPN setups need mobile apps like HTTP Injector. For volumetric data, expensive enterprise suites like Synopsys Simpleware or Powersim Studio are mandatory. These files are proprietary and tied to closed ecosystems.
Users frequently need to convert .sip files because they lack expensive native software, or want to migrate VPN settings to open-source tools. Unfortunately, converting VPN configurations is nearly impossible as they are typically encrypted to hide server credentials, rendering standard online converters useless. Engineering .sip files are similarly trapped as proprietary containers, displaying garbage characters in standard text editors.
If you have a Python binding .sip file, converting it to standard TXT, CPP, or PY formats is simple since it contains raw text. Our platform inspects the internal binary signature of your file. If we detect that your .sip file is secretly a standard ZIP archive (common for ScanIP projects) or a Microsoft Compound file (used by Powersim), we can unpack the embedded content, salvage internal XML data, and bypass the limitations of the original format.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SIP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EHI, STP, JPEG, PDF, ZIP, CLN, SVI, EHIL, SWP and PRI files.
If you want to convert SIP file to SWP or PRI, you can use SocksIP Tunnel Android App or similar software from the "VPN Configuration & 3D Projects" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to SIP, try SocksIP Tunnel Android App or another comparable tool in the "VPN Configuration & 3D Projects" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SIP converter.
