### glider config file

# verbose mode, print logs
verbose

# listen on 8443, serve as http/socks5 proxy on the same port.
listen=:8443

# upstream forward proxy
forward=socks5://192.168.1.10:1080

# upstream forward proxy
forward=ss://method:pass@1.1.1.1:8443

# upstream forward proxy (forward chain)
forward=http://1.1.1.1:8080,socks5://2.2.2.2:1080

# multiple upstream proxies forward strategy
strategy=rr

# forwarder health check
check=http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt#expect=200

# check interval
checkinterval=30


# Setup a dns forwarding server
dns=:53
# global remote dns server (you can specify different dns server in rule file)
dnsserver=8.8.8.8:53

# RULE FILES
rules-dir=rules.d
#rulefile=office.rule

Rule File

Rule file, same as the config file but specify forwarders based on destinations:

# YOU CAN USE ALL KEYS IN THE GLOBAL CONFIG FILE EXCEPT "listen", "rulefile"
forward=socks5://192.168.1.10:1080
forward=ss://method:pass@1.1.1.1:8443
forward=http://192.168.2.1:8080,socks5://192.168.2.2:1080
strategy=rr
check=http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt#expect=200
checkinterval=30

# DNS SERVER for domains in this rule file
dnsserver=208.67.222.222:53

# IPSET MANAGEMENT
# ----------------
# Create and mange ipset on linux based on destinations in rule files
#   - add ip/cidrs in rule files on startup
#   - add resolved ips for domains in rule files by dns forwarding server 
# Usually used in transparent proxy mode on linux
ipset=glider

# YOU CAN SPECIFY DESTINATIONS TO USE THE ABOVE FORWARDERS
# matches abc.com and *.abc.com
domain=abc.com

# matches 1.1.1.1
ip=1.1.1.1

# matches 192.168.100.0/24
cidr=192.168.100.0/24

# we can include a list file with only destinations settings
include=office.list.example
