Nodes & Proxy Modes

Direct answer

For daily browsing use Rule mode. For testing a specific streaming service or game, select a stable node manually and avoid switching the whole client to Global unless you are isolating a routing issue.

What to check first

Routing behavior depends on the selected mode, the active proxy group, the available node and the order of rules. Test one variable at a time before changing the entire profile.

  • Check which mode is active: Rule, Global or Direct.
  • Inspect the selected proxy group and the node currently chosen inside it.
  • Compare automatic selection with manual selection to isolate group behavior.
  • Use logs or connection details to confirm which rule matched the request.

Recommended handling

Keep the troubleshooting path narrow: confirm the profile, confirm the selected node, test Rule mode, read the log, then change only the setting that matches the observed status message.

Practical notes

  • Change one setting at a time so the result is attributable.
  • Use logs and timestamps when asking for provider or community support.
