System-wide proxy

Hi, right now i’m using clash for using proxies, in the apps that have a feature to use proxy, i can use 127.0.0.1:7890 but there isn’t anywhere to apply this proxy for whole system, how can i do this?

If you truly want to route all network traffic over a socks proxy, that is non-trivial last I checked.

One way to do that is to use a tun2sox implementation of which there are several including badvpn, go-tun2sox and leaf-git. None of this is “point is click” though.

You can use one of these to implement a tunnel to your proxy and then route all your traffic over that tunnel.

That being said, there may be a better way to achieve your actual goal then using clash and then trying to route traffic over it system-wide. Can you share what your actual goal is? For example, since the proxy is local to the machine, what are you using it to do?

EDIT: I just took a look at clash and it looks like it is capable of creating a tunnel on it’s own. I still have the above question though. Are you sure this is the best way to achieve your actual goal?

first of all, thank you for your response!
well, some services are blocked in my ISP and i’m trying to bypass them, the thing is, for example for websites, i can use extensions like “switchyomega” or smth else to tunnel my browser, and for xdm there’s a built-in proxy settings but for some apps (or to be more specific, some games) there isn’t any built-in proxy setting so i have to tunnel my whole system to reach my goal, or servers i want to play in

about clash, i tried everything but it doesn’t tunnel everything

Maybe I am being dense but how does a local proxy help you bypass blocking? Asked a different way, what are you implementing in clash?

If clash is capable of creating the tunnel, you would then to implement network rules to send your traffic over the tunnel.

here, clash works as a VPN but doesn’t tunnel by itself and i’m using it like a shadowsocks

about second part, im not sure that i understand what u meant sorry :frowning_face:

Another option is redsocks. But again, you will need at least a small amount of networking knowledge to implement any of these.

So, I guess you are using clash to connect to a remote shadowsocks proxy somewhere else?

i have little knowledge (just as much as my job requires as back-end developer and very newbie devops) and i just couldnt find any tools to do that, i’ll try redsocks

yeah exactly, and then i use clash as something like a client for tunneling apps
