Why TUN Virtual Network Adapters Outperform System Proxies
Standard system proxies only intercept HTTP/HTTPS traffic on port 7890, leaving CLI tools (Git, curl, Docker), game engines, and UDP traffic completely unproxied.
By activating TUN Mode, Clash creates a virtual kernel network adapter (Wintun / utun) that captures 100% of layer-3 IP packets, providing transparent, leak-free proxying across all applications.
Key Configuration Essentials
- Service Mode Installation: Ensure Clash Verge has system privileges to bind virtual adapters.
- Fake-IP Implementation: Reduces DNS roundtrip latency to 1ms by returning virtual
198.18.0.0/16addresses while proxying the actual DNS query over remote IEPL nodes.
