Understand proxy groups
Open Proxies while connected. Group names, members, and routing policies come from your subscription. Different providers can organize this screen differently.
| Group type | What it does |
|---|---|
select | Lets you choose the outbound used by that group. |
url-test | Tests members and automatically selects a route according to its profile configuration. |
fallback | Uses an available member according to the configured order and health checks. |
load-balance | Distributes connections using the strategy specified in the profile. |
A group can contain other groups. A type label may describe the nested group rather than an individual server.
Read latency and status
- A value in ms is a delay-test result. It is not a throughput or download-speed measurement.
- timeout means the node did not complete the check. Confirm the node and test destination are reachable.
- direct routes without a proxy. reject blocks the matching traffic.
A lower latency does not guarantee a better connection for every service. Try another available node when a specific destination has trouble.
Routing comes from the profile
Mihomo evaluates the routing rules supplied in the YAML configuration. Selecting a node inside one group changes that group; it does not automatically send all device traffic to that node.
For rule syntax and full configuration options, use the Mihomo configuration reference. The exact behavior depends on the profile and the engine bundled with your build.
