Meta Kernel

Another Clash Kernel.

Features

• Local HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS server with authentication support
• VMess, Shadowsocks, Trojan, Snell protocol support for remote connections
• Built-in DNS server that aims to minimize DNS pollution attack impact, supports DoH/DoT upstream and fake IP.
• Rules based off domains, GEOIP, IPCIDR or Process to forward packets to different nodes
• Remote groups allow users to implement powerful rules. Supports automatic fallback, load balancing or auto select node based off latency
• Remote providers, allowing users to get node lists remotely instead of hardcoding in config
• Netfilter TCP redirecting. Deploy Clash on your Internet gateway with iptables.
• Comprehensive HTTP RESTful API controller

TUN configuration

Supports macOS, Linux and Windows.

Built-in Wintun driver.

# Enable the TUN listener
tun:
  enable: true
  stack: gvisor #  only gvisor
  dns-hijack: 
    - 0.0.0.0:53 # additional dns server listen on TUN
  auto-route: true # auto set global route

Rules configuration

• Support rule GEOSITE.
• Support rule-providers RULE-SET.
• Support multiport condition for rule SRC-PORT and DST-PORT.
• Support network condition for all rules.
• Support source IPCIDR condition for all rules, just append to the end.
• The GEOSITE databases via https://github.com/Loyalsoldier/v2ray-rules-dat.

rules:

  # network(tcp/udp) condition for all rules
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,bilibili.com,DIRECT,tcp
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,bilibili.com,REJECT,udp

Proxies configuration

Active health detection urltest / fallback (based on tcp handshake, multiple failures within a limited time will actively trigger health detection to use the node)

Support Policy Group Filter

proxy-groups:

  - name: 🚀 HK Group
    type: select
    use:
      - ALL
    filter: 'HK'

  - name: 🚀 US Group
    type: select
    use:
      - ALL

  ALL:
    type: http
    url: "xxxxx"
    interval: 3600
    path: "xxxxx"
    health-check:
      enable: true
      interval: 600
      url: http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204

Support outbound transport protocol VLESS.

The XTLS support (TCP/UDP) transport by the XRAY-CORE.

proxies:
  - name: "vless"
    type: vless
    server: server
    port: 443
    uuid: uuid
    servername: example.com # AKA SNI
    # flow: xtls-rprx-direct # xtls-rprx-origin  # enable XTLS
    # skip-cert-verify: true
    
  - name: "vless-ws"
    type: vless
    server: server
    port: 443
    uuid: uuid
    tls: true
    udp: true
    network: ws
    servername: example.com # priority over wss host

    # skip-cert-verify: true
    grpc-opts: 
      grpc-service-name: grpcname

IPTABLES configuration

Work on Linux OS who's supported iptables

# Enable the TPROXY listener
tproxy-port: 9898

iptables:
  enable: true # default is false
  inbound-interface: eth0 # detect the inbound interface, default is 'lo'

General installation guide for Linux

• Create user given name clash-meta

• Download and decompress pre-built binaries from releases

• Rename executable file to Clash-Meta and move to /usr/local/bin/

• Create folder /etc/Clash-Meta/ as working directory

Run Meta Kernel by user clash-meta as a daemon.

Create the systemd configuration file at /etc/systemd/system/Clash-Meta.service:

[Unit]
Description=Clash-Meta Daemon, Another Clash Kernel.
After=network.target NetworkManager.service systemd-networkd.service iwd.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=clash-meta
Group=clash-meta
LimitNPROC=500
LimitNOFILE=1000000
CapabilityBoundingSet=cap_net_admin
AmbientCapabilities=cap_net_admin
Restart=always
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 1s
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/Clash-Meta -d /etc/Clash-Meta

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Launch clashd on system startup with:

$ systemctl enable Clash-Meta

Launch clashd immediately with:

$ systemctl start Clash-Meta

Display Process name

Clash add field Process to Metadata and prepare to get process name for Restful API GET /connections.

To display process name in GUI please use Dashboard For Meta.

Development

If you want to build an application that uses clash as a library, check out the the GitHub Wiki
