## What it is
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
