What is shadowrocket-rules?

This repository provides routing rules for Shadowrocket, an iOS proxy client app commonly used to manage network traffic. The rules tell Shadowrocket what to do with each network request: connect directly without a proxy (DIRECT), route through a proxy server (PROXY), or block the request entirely (REJECT). The README is written in Chinese. The rule sets are large. As of the last update, the collection includes around 113,000 DIRECT rules, 26,500 PROXY rules, and 173,000 REJECT rules. The REJECT rules cover advertising and tracking domains drawn from multiple public sources including EasyList, AdGuard DNS filters, and others. The PROXY rules include addresses for services like Telegram, Gmail, WhatsApp, and Google Voice that are commonly blocked. The DIRECT rules cover Chinese domestic sites and services that should not be routed through a proxy. The rules are packaged as Shadowrocket module files (.module), which you add to the app rather than replacing the whole configuration. This keeps your own settings intact and makes it easy to enable or disable rule sets independently. Three modules are provided: one for direct connections, one for proxied connections, and one for ad blocking. The repository explains two usage modes: a whitelist mode where known sites go through the proxy and everything else connects directly, and a blacklist mode where known Chinese sites connect directly and everything else goes through the proxy. The rule files are built automatically each day from their source lists, so they stay current. The README notes that ad blocking is not guaranteed to catch all ads, particularly video ads from apps that change their ad server URLs frequently.
