Add a Proxy Server:
- You can add servers manually by entering information like server address, port, and protocol. Supported protocols include VLESS, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, Anytls, and Shadows-tls.
- Alternatively, import server configurations using subscription links. Subscription links must be compatible with sing-box format. You can convert links using Substore if needed.
-
Choose Proxy Mode:
- Global Mode: All your internet traffic goes through the proxy.
- Smart Mode: Only specific sites or apps use the proxy based on rules.
- Direct Mode: Connect directly without using the proxy.
-
Configure Routing Rules:
FlowZ supports rich routing options to control your connection better. You can use predefined location-based rules (geosite/geoip) to decide which traffic should use the proxy.
-
Enable System Proxy if you want FlowZ to automatically handle the system-level proxy setting for you.
-
Use the TUN Transparent Proxy Mode if you want more advanced setups like system-wide routing via the TUN interface, supporting System, gVisor, or Mixed network stacks.
Once FlowZ is set up, here are some tips to make the most of it:
- Monitor Traffic: The app shows your real-time traffic stats and speed tests. Check this to know your current connection quality.
- Use Proxy Chains: FlowZ supports front-proxy settings. This lets you create a chain of proxies for better privacy or bypass restrictions.
- Customize Appearance: Choose between light and dark themes based on your preference.
- Startup Options: Enable auto-start and auto-connect so FlowZ can run in the background whenever you start your computer.
- View Connection Topology: The app can show you how your connections are arranged, helping you troubleshoot or optimize your setup.
