The Connections page in full: what every column means

The Connections page is the single authoritative answer to "did this app's traffic go through the proxy or not". Each row is one active connection; the key columns:

• Host: destination domain or IP plus port — "where it is going";
• Rule: which rule the connection matched, e.g. DomainSuffix(google.com) or GeoIP(CN);
• Chains: the actual forwarding path, e.g. Proxy Select / HK-01 means it went through group "Proxy Select" to node "HK-01"; DIRECT means no proxy;
• DL / UL Speed: current per-connection throughput;
• Source: the local address and port that initiated it — pair with Task Manager to identify the process.

A typical debugging flow

1. A site misbehaves → open Connections and search for its domain;
2. Check Chains: expected proxy but shows DIRECT (or the reverse) → a rules problem;
3. Check Rule: see which rule caused it → override via Mixin or adjust the node.

The Close All button up top drops every connection at once — useful after switching nodes when long-lived connections are still stuck on the old one.
