!!! note ""

    You can ignore the JSON Array [] tag when the content is only one item

!!! warning ""

    If tun is running in non-privileged mode, addresses and MTU will not be configured automatically, please make sure the settings are accurate.

### Fields

#### interface_name

Virtual device name, automatically selected if empty.

#### inet4_address

==Required==

IPv4 prefix for the tun interface.

#### inet6_address

IPv6 prefix for the tun interface.

#### mtu

The maximum transmission unit.

#### gso

!!! question "Since sing-box 1.8.0"

!!! quote ""

    Only supported on Linux.

Enable generic segmentation offload.

#### auto_route

Set the default route to the Tun.

!!! quote ""

    To avoid traffic loopback, set `route.auto_detect_interface` or `route.default_interface` or `outbound.bind_interface`

!!! note "Use with Android VPN"

    By default, VPN takes precedence over tun. To make tun go through VPN, enable `route.override_android_vpn`.

#### strict_route

Enforce strict routing rules when `auto_route` is enabled:

*In Linux*:

* Let unsupported network unreachable
* Route all connections to tun

It prevents address leaks and makes DNS hijacking work on Android.

*In Windows*:

* Add firewall rules to prevent DNS leak caused by
  Windows' [ordinary multihomed DNS resolution behavior](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd197552%28v%3Dws.10%29)

It may prevent some applications (such as VirtualBox) from working properly in certain situations.

#### inet4_route_address

Use custom routes instead of default when `auto_route` is enabled.

#### inet6_route_address

Use custom routes instead of default when `auto_route` is enabled.

#### inet4_route_exclude_address

Exclude custom routes when `auto_route` is enabled.

#### inet6_route_exclude_address

Exclude custom routes when `auto_route` is enabled.

#### endpoint_independent_nat

!!! info ""

    This item is only available on the gvisor stack, other stacks are endpoint-independent NAT by default.

Enable endpoint-independent NAT.

Performance may degrade slightly, so it is not recommended to enable on when it is not needed.

#### udp_timeout

UDP NAT expiration time in seconds, default is 300 (5 minutes).

#### stack

!!! quote "Changes in sing-box 1.8.0"

    :material-delete-alert: The legacy LWIP stack has been deprecated and removed.

TCP/IP stack.

| Stack    | Description                                                                                           | 
|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `system` | Perform L3 to L4 translation using the system network stack                                           |
| `gvisor` | Perform L3 to L4 translation using [gVisor](https://github.com/google/gvisor)'s virtual network stack |
| `mixed`  | Mixed `system` TCP stack and `gvisor` UDP stack                                                       |

Defaults to the `mixed` stack if the gVisor build tag is enabled, otherwise defaults to the `system` stack.

#### include_interface

!!! quote ""

    Interface rules are only supported on Linux and require auto_route.

Limit interfaces in route. Not limited by default.

Conflict with `exclude_interface`.

#### exclude_interface

Exclude interfaces in route.

Conflict with `include_interface`.

#### include_uid

!!! quote ""

    UID rules are only supported on Linux and require auto_route.

Limit users in route. Not limited by default.

#### include_uid_range

Limit users in route, but in range.

#### exclude_uid

Exclude users in route.

#### exclude_uid_range

Exclude users in route, but in range.

#### include_android_user

!!! quote ""

    Android user and package rules are only supported on Android and require auto_route.

Limit android users in route.

| Common user  | ID |
|--------------|----|
| Main         | 0  |
| Work Profile | 10 |

#### include_package

Limit android packages in route.

#### exclude_package

Exclude android packages in route.

#### platform

Platform-specific settings, provided by client applications.

#### platform.http_proxy

#### platform.http_proxy.server

==Required==

HTTP proxy server address.

#### platform.http_proxy.server_port

==Required==

HTTP proxy server port.

#### platform.http_proxy.bypass_domain

!!! note ""

    On Apple platforms, `bypass_domain` items matches hostname **suffixes**.

Hostnames that bypass the HTTP proxy.

#### platform.http_proxy.match_domain

!!! quote ""

    Only supported in graphical clients on Apple platforms.

Hostnames that use the HTTP proxy.
