FakeIP

FakeIP refers to a type of behavior in a program that simultaneously hijacks both DNS and connection requests. It responds to DNS requests with virtual results and restores mapping when accepting connections.

Advantage

  • Retrieve the requested domain in places like IP routing (L3) where traffic detection is not possible to assist with routing.
  • Decrease an RTT on the first TCP request to a domain (the most common reason).

Limitation

  • Its mechanism breaks applications that depend on returning correct remote addresses.
  • Only A and AAAA (IP) requests are supported, which may break applications that rely on other requests.

Recommendation

  • Do not use if you do not need L3 routing.
  • If using tun, make sure FakeIP ranges is included in the tun's routes.
  • Enable experimental.clash_api.store_fakeip to persist FakeIP records, or use dns.rules.rewrite_ttl to avoid losing records after program restart in DNS cached environments.
