Proxy

Running paid VPS like DMIT for proxy nodes is stable but costly. What many don’t know is that Cloudflare Workers comes with 100,000 free requests daily—enough to run a completely free VLESS node as a backup or alternative. It’s worth deploying one for everyone. This guide uses the open-source project edgetunnel, deployable in under 10 minutes. Overview Cloudflare Workers is a JavaScript runtime at CF’s edge nodes. edgetunnel implements the VLESS protocol in a Worker, routing traffic through CF’s CDN network to bypass direct IP identification. ...

Many people think having a VPS proxy node is enough—it’s not. VPS IPs come from data centers, and many platforms impose extra restrictions on data center IPs. OpenAI won’t let you register with a data center IP, some platforms trigger additional verification, and accounts get restricted for “suspicious login”… These scenarios require residential IPs. IPRoyal is a residential IP service I’ve been using long-term. This article clarifies when you need residential IPs and how to use them. ...

DMIT is my primary VPS provider, and I’ve been using it for over a year. Its Hong Kong and US nodes offer the best connection speeds and stability I’ve experienced, with a low IP block rate. Many people see DMIT’s English interface and don’t know how to purchase. This guide walks you through the entire process. Why Choose DMIT When picking a VPS, three things matter most: latency, stability, and IP quality. ...

The previous article on multi-gateway home network architecture covered the overall design but didn’t dive into the details of writing rules. This post focuses specifically on Mihomo’s traffic splitting rules, breaking down everything from syntax basics to practical configuration templates. Basic Concepts of Rules Mihomo controls traffic splitting through the rules field. Each rule follows this format: rule-type,match-value,proxy-group For example: rules: - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,google.com,Proxy - IP-CIDR,192.168.0.0/16,DIRECT - GEOIP,CN,DIRECT - MATCH,Proxy # fallback rule — matches all remaining traffic Rules are matched in order — the first rule that matches is executed, and subsequent rules are skipped. Order is critical. ...

Hysteria2 is a proxy tool based on the QUIC protocol (UDP) that significantly outperforms TCP in high-loss and high-latency networks. It complements VLESS+XTLS-Reality: use Hysteria2 when TCP is throttled, and VLESS+Reality when UDP is blocked—deploying both protocols together is currently the most stable approach. Why Choose Hysteria2 Core advantages: QUIC/UDP-based, maintains good speed even in high-loss networks Built-in bandwidth obfuscation makes traffic patterns harder to identify precisely Simple configuration, lighter weight than Xray Native support in mihomo (Clash Meta) Use cases: ...

Xray’s VLESS+XTLS-Reality is widely recognized as the most robust protocol combination for anti-censorship. Its core principle is disguising traffic as a normal TLS handshake, making it difficult for the GFW to identify proxy traffic through signature detection. This guide walks you through deploying a fully functional setup from scratch. Prerequisites An overseas VPS (I recommend DMIT Hong Kong or US nodes for excellent routing quality) VPS OS: Ubuntu 22.04+ Local client: mihomo (formerly Clash Meta) Server Deployment Install Xray bash -c "$(curl -L https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-install/raw/main/install-release.sh)" @ install Generate XTLS-Reality Keys xray x25519 Output: ...

IP blocks are a common issue for proxy nodes, and I’ve dealt with it many times. This article outlines the complete troubleshooting process. Step 1: Confirm If It’s an IP Block or Something Else When you can’t connect to a node, first rule out non-blocking causes: # Test IP connectivity from mainland China (use mobile hotspot to rule out local network issues) ping your_VPS_IP # Test if the port is open nc -z -w5 your_VPS_IP 443 && echo "open" || echo "blocked" Common confusion cases: ...

I’ve hit plenty of pitfalls choosing VPS providers. This article shares providers I’ve actually used — straight conclusions, no fluff. VPS Selection: Core Metrics VPS for proxy tunneling is different from standard hosting. There are three core metrics: Latency: Ping to mainland China — lower is better Stability: How likely is the IP to get blocked, and how much line jitter do you see Exit quality: CN2 GIA > standard BGP; direct peering > relay DMIT: My Current Primary I’m using DMIT nodes in Hong Kong and the US, and I’ve been happy with them for about a year. ...

After half a year of tinkering with my home network, I finally got a multi-gateway redundancy architecture working. This article shares the overall design approach—it’s for people with some hands-on experience who want a more stable network. Why You Need Multiple Gateways The biggest problem with a single gateway is a single point of failure: if your VPS gets blocked, the line stutters, or the machine crashes, your entire network goes down. ...
