How Proxy Routing Rules Work: Domains, IP-CIDR and Rule Sets

Learn routing concepts using domains, IP-CIDR, rule sets and rule order.

Domain rules

Match complete domains, suffixes or keywords.

IP-CIDR

Match destination IP ranges, useful when routing needs to follow resolved addresses.

Rule sets

Bundle many rules for easier maintenance and reuse.

Order matters

Rules are normally evaluated in order or by priority, so an early broad rule can override a later specific rule.

Keep it reproducible

Change one network setting at a time and test after each change.
