For people who want to know how it actually works: how the core parses rules, how proxy groups schedule, and where a DNS request gets split. The Clash Verge Rev core, rule matching order and performance tuning are what this group of articles concentrates on.
Advanced Config · 7 articles
The 7 articles below focus on "Advanced Config" from the inside out - the mechanism, the commands, the configs and how to check the output.
First-match rule order, DOMAIN and GEOIP splits, proxy-groups, DNS and fake-ip, rule-providers, common pitfalls, and a YAML template for domestic DIRECT vs foreign PROXY routing.
Readers learn how Mihomo-backed Clash Verge Rev builds ordered failover strips on Windows 11 via fallback policy groups: why health-check strategy URLs trump guesswork, how intervals pace reconnect drama, YAML ordering that determines which proxies get skipped by itself, pragmatic validation when lag colors lie, plus how differs from lag-first url-test groups you may already tune elsewhere.
GEOIP and GEOSITE rules read local MMDB or dat bundles beside your Mihomo home. Control geodata-mode and geox-url, avoid surprise geo-auto-re-sync overwrites, replace files offline, and verify matched rules reference fresh geography data in logs.
Dial in automatic node switching inside Clash Verge Rev without guesswork: this guide focuses narrowly on Mihomo url-test proxy groups—the health-check URL, interval pacing, tolerance as anti-flap damping, editing workflow on Windows 11, and telltales that mean you it makes sense to troubleshoot reachability instead of sliders.
Choosing Clash Verge Rev DNS modes on Windows is not guesswork—this tutorial walks fake-ip versus redir-host, where to toggle settings, how they interact with system DNS and Mihomo routing, plus reproducible verification so split rules behave the way your profile intends.
Dedicated proxy-groups and DOMAIN rules for ChatGPT and Claude: OpenAI and Anthropic hostnames, rule order before GEOIP, DNS fake-ip and DoH alignment, web versus API clients, and YAML you may merge into split profiles.
TUN mode for real device-wide coverage: virtual NIC routing, DNS and fake-ip, per-OS permissions (Wintun, macOS extensions, Linux caps, Android VPNService), YAML expectations, and practical troubleshooting.
