A backup fork of Clash, a rule-based network tunnel written in Go that proxies traffic through protocols like Shadowsocks, VMess, Trojan, and WireGuard. It supports rule-based routing, transparent proxying, Fake-IP DNS, and a RESTful API for in-place configuration updates.

Use cases

• route traffic through shadowsocks or vmess proxies
• set up a transparent proxy on linux with tproxy
• bypass DNS pollution with fake-ip DNS
• route specific domains or processes through different proxies
• load balance between multiple proxy servers with automatic fallback
• control a running proxy via a RESTful API
• run a local socks5 or http proxy server

When to choose

• you need a rule-based multi-protocol proxy core and want the original Clash codebase
• you need transparent proxying with automatic route table management
• you want dynamic proxy group selection with latency testing or load balancing

When to avoid

• you need actively developed features - the original Clash was archived and this is a backup
• you want a GUI client rather than a core engine
• you need protocols beyond those Clash supports, such as newer VLESS/Reality variants - consider mihomo or sing-box instead
