Need Help Understanding Shadowrocket Rules – Any Tips or Best Practices?

20 Replies, 1318 Views

Hey everyone! 👋

So, I’ve been messing around with Shadowrocket for a while now, but I’m still kinda confused about the Shadowrocket rules. Like, how do you even set them up properly? I’ve got some basic ones in place, but I feel like I’m missing something.

Anyone got tips or best practices for setting up Shadowrocket rules? I’m tryna optimize my setup but don’t wanna mess things up lol.

Also, how do y’all handle exceptions? Like, do you just add them manually or is there a smarter way?

Thanks in advance! 🙏
Hey! Setting up Shadowrocket rules can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super powerful. I usually start with the basics like blocking ads and trackers, then move on to more specific rules.

For exceptions, I use the "DIRECT" rule for stuff I don’t want to proxy. You can also use tools like Surge List or Clash Rules to generate rule sets automatically. Saves a ton of time!
Yo! I feel you, Shadowrocket rules can be overwhelming. What I do is break it down into categories:

- Ads
- Social media
- Streaming
- Direct connections

For exceptions, I just add them manually under "REJECT" or "DIRECT" depending on what I need. It’s a bit tedious but worth it for a clean setup.
Honestly, I just use pre-made rule sets from GitHub. There are some great ones out there like "ConnersHua" or "DivineEngine." Just import them into Shadowrocket and tweak as needed.

For exceptions, I usually add them manually, but you can also use regex if you’re feeling fancy lol.
Hey! I’ve been using Shadowrocket for years, and the key is to keep your rules organized. I use a mix of "DOMAIN-SUFFIX" and "DOMAIN-KEYWORD" rules to cover most cases.

For exceptions, I just add them under "DIRECT" or "REJECT" depending on what I need. It’s not perfect, but it works for me.
Shadowrocket rules are a game-changer once you figure them out. I recommend starting with a basic setup and then adding rules as you go.

For exceptions, I use the "FINAL" rule to catch everything else. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done.
Wow, thanks everyone for the tips! 🙌 I didn’t even know about pre-made rule sets on GitHub—definitely gonna check those out. I tried adding some exceptions manually under "DIRECT" and it’s working so far, but I’m still tweaking things.

Quick question though: how do you guys handle rules for apps that need to bypass the proxy? Like, do you just add them under "DIRECT" or is there a better way? Thanks again, y’all are awesome! 🚀
Yo, I feel your pain. Shadowrocket rules can be a headache at first. What I do is use a mix of "DOMAIN" and "IP-CIDR" rules to cover most cases.

For exceptions, I just add them manually under "DIRECT" or "REJECT." It’s not the most efficient, but it works.
Hey! I’ve found that using a combination of "DOMAIN-SUFFIX" and "DOMAIN-KEYWORD" rules works best for me.

For exceptions, I just add them manually under "DIRECT" or "REJECT." It’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it for a clean setup.
