60 articles covering installation, features, routing rules and troubleshooting.
The full flow from downloading the installer to first launch, plus three things to verify after installing.
Getting StartedA quick tour of the five core pages — General, Proxies, Profiles, Connections and Logs — to build a mental map.
Getting StartedThe complete path from pasting a subscription URL to successfully browsing, with a checkpoint at every step.
Getting StartedThe mechanics behind System Proxy, which apps it covers, which it cannot, and why.
Getting StartedHow the three modes behave, when to switch, and why daily use should stay on Rule.
Getting StartedHow the latency test works, what each range of values means, and why low latency does not equal high speed.
Getting StartedCombining Start with Windows and Silent Start, and what to do when autostart stops working.
Getting StartedHow the two distributions differ in data location and updates, and how to migrate without losing anything.
Getting StartedClient updates and subscription updates are separate operations: where to do each, and how often.
Getting StartedThe right uninstall order: restore network settings first, then remove the app, to avoid the classic no-internet aftermath.
Getting StartedThe repository is gone and the version stopped at 0.20.39 — when you can keep using it, when you should move on, and what to move to.
Getting StartedWhat every file under the config directory does, which ones regenerate themselves, and which ones you would have to set up again.
FeaturesDownload, switch, edit, locate on disk, view traffic — what every button on a profile card does.
FeaturesHow the groups on the Proxies page work and when each type is the right choice.
FeaturesReading Host, Rule, Chains and the rest — the page that answers 'where did this traffic actually go?'.
FeaturesWhat info, warning and error each mean, plus translations of the log lines you will actually see.
FeaturesTUN takes over all traffic at the network layer through a virtual NIC — prerequisites and the exact steps.
FeaturesWhat the mixed port does, how it relates to the separate HTTP/SOCKS ports, and what to type into third-party apps.
FeaturesWith LAN sharing on, other devices on the same Wi-Fi can use the proxy with nothing installed.
FeaturesUWP apps are blocked from loopback addresses by default, so they cannot reach a local proxy until you exempt them.
FeaturesGive subscriptions an auto-update interval so the node list stays fresh, plus what happens when an update fails.
FeaturesA top-to-bottom walkthrough that answers every 'should this be on?' in one article.
FeaturesThe used/total traffic and expiry date on a profile card come from an HTTP response header — its format, its limits, and why it can disagree with your provider's dashboard.
FeaturesEverything you can do from a right-click on the tray icon, plus how to stop Windows from hiding that icon in the overflow area.
Rules & RoutingBreaking down the 'TYPE,matcher,policy' three-part syntax so every line in the rules section makes sense.
Rules & RoutingThe three domain rules match from narrow to broad; using the wrong one over- or under-matches. With examples.
Rules & RoutingHow traffic with no domain gets routed, and why nearly every profile ends with GEOIP,CN,DIRECT.
Rules & RoutingClash matches top-down and stops at the first hit — two real-world cases show what wrong ordering does.
Rules & RoutingMATCH captures everything that slipped through; its policy defines the default fate of unknown sites.
Rules & RoutingGroups can contain groups — build a two-tier 'pick a region manually, auto-pick within it' structure.
Rules & RoutingBanking, payments and intranets misbehave behind a proxy — fix it with high-priority DIRECT rules.
Rules & RoutingSkip hand-writing thousands of rules — reference community lists that update themselves.
Rules & RoutingAdd no-resolve to IP rules so domain traffic does not get resolved early just to test an IP rule.
Rules & RoutingSubscription updates overwrite manual edits; Mixin is the official patch layer that survives them.
Rules & RoutingHow to match traffic by process name, the syntax details, and what to check when a rule silently fails to match.
Rules & RoutingRules that split a game platform's download traffic from its store and community traffic, and how to work the same trick out for any launcher.
AdvancedYAML is simple but replaces whole fields; JS is programmable. How to choose, with examples.
AdvancedParsers hook the subscription download step and can treat each subscription differently — how they divide work with Mixin.
Advancedfake-ip is faster and poison-proof but confuses a few programs — understand the mechanism to fix issues properly.
AdvancedReplace plaintext port-53 lookups with DNS over HTTPS — config example and the nameserver/fallback split.
AdvancedThe core exposes an HTTP API for status, node switching and connection control — the basis of all automation.
AdvancedWeb panels like yacd connect to the core's API and offer another management UI — especially handy across devices.
AdvancedGame traffic and voice run heavily on UDP; both the node and the config must support relaying it.
Advancedconsistent-hashing pins each site to one node; round-robin spreads evenly — different jobs.
AdvancedLatency measures responsiveness; Benchmark measures real download bandwidth. You need both to pick nodes well.
AdvancedWork, home, multiple providers — how to organize them as separate profiles, and what changes on switch.
AdvancedWSL2 sits on its own virtual network where the system proxy does not apply — how to find the host IP, set the variables, and where Docker's own proxy setting lives.
AdvancedWhat the General page IPv6 toggle actually controls, the DNS and rule changes that must accompany it, and why enabling it can make browsing slower.
TroubleshootingA six-step checklist that walks from node to system settings to isolate the outage.
TroubleshootingAll nodes timing out at once is rarely the nodes' fault — it is your uplink or a dead subscription. How to tell.
TroubleshootingFind the process squatting on 7890, or just move to another port — both paths, step by step.
TroubleshootingFrom 404 to timeout to YAML parse failures — what each error means and what to do.
TroubleshootingThe four usual suspects when TUN kills connectivity: service mode, DNS hijack, firewalls and leftover adapters.
TroubleshootingSwitchyOmega-style extensions stack on top of the system proxy and cause spooky bugs — sort out the precedence.
TroubleshootingFirst classify the app, then pick the right fix: system proxy, in-app settings, or TUN.
TroubleshootingIndentation, colons and quoting — YAML's three killers, each with a real broken example and the repair.
TroubleshootingThe four usual sources: connection storms, debug logging, the always-open window, and oversized rule sets.
TroubleshootingWhat a DNS leak is, confirming one with a test site, and the fake-ip + encrypted DNS combo that fixes it.
TroubleshootingWhen every TLS-based node fails at once and switching nodes changes nothing, check the clock first. Symptoms and how to fix the sync.
TroubleshootingEnterprise VPN clients and TUN mode both rewrite routes, which breaks connectivity. Three workable approaches and what each one costs.
