mihomo Compatibility

This page summarizes how MeowX handles the configuration features of mihomo / Clash Meta. Proxy protocols are covered separately in the Protocol overview.

Legend

Supported — works as in mihomo.
Partial — works, with the differences noted.
Ignored — accepted without error, but has no effect.
Not supported — doesn’t work. Where it matters, the note says whether the configuration still loads.

Top level

Feature	Status	Notes
`mode` (`rule` / `global` / `direct`)	Supported	Global mode uses a group named `GLOBAL` if defined, else the first group. No built-in `GLOBAL` group. See Overview.
`proxies`	Supported	See Protocol overview.
`proxy-groups`	Partial	See Proxy groups below.
`rules`	Partial	See Rules below.
`rule-providers`	Partial	See Rule providers below.
`dns`	Partial	See DNS below.
`hosts`	Partial	Exact domain keys and IP values only.
`sniffer`	Partial	Only `enable`; on by default.
`log-level`	Ignored	Value must be valid (`debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, `silent`).
`ipv6`	Ignored	Use `dns.ipv6` and the app’s IPv6 mode.
`proxy-providers`	Not supported	Ignored; groups’ `use:` lists are ignored.
`tun`	Ignored	The tunnel is managed by the app. See TUN and IPv6.
`port`, `socks-port`, `mixed-port`, `redir-port`, `tproxy-port`, `allow-lan`, `bind-address`, `authentication`, `listeners`	Ignored	The local HTTP / SOCKS5 proxy is configured in the app.
`external-controller`, `external-ui`, `secret`, `profile`	Ignored	No REST controller.
`sub-rules`	Not supported	Ignored; a `SUB-RULE` rule makes the configuration fail to load.
`geox-url`, `geodata-mode`, `geo-auto-update`, `geo-update-interval`	Ignored	Databases are bundled. See GeoIP and GeoSite.
`tunnels`, `ntp`, `experimental`, `unified-delay`, `tcp-concurrent`, `find-process-mode`, `global-client-fingerprint`, `keep-alive-interval`, `interface-name`, `routing-mark`	Ignored

Proxy groups

Feature	Status	Notes
`select`	Supported	Selection remembered across restarts.
`url-test`	Supported	Plus immediate failover on connection errors; manual pin.
`fallback`	Supported	Plus immediate failover on connection errors; manual pin.
`load-balance`	Partial	Behaves like `select`; `strategy` ignored.
`relay`	Partial	Behaves like `select`; no chaining. Use `dialer-proxy`.
`url`, `interval`, `tolerance`, `lazy`, `expected-status`	Supported	`interval: 0` doesn’t disable checks (treated as 1 second).
`hidden`, `icon`	Supported
`use`, `include-all`, `include-all-proxies`, `include-all-providers`, `filter`, `exclude-filter`, `exclude-type`	Ignored
`timeout`, `max-failed-times`, `disable-udp`, `interface-name`, `routing-mark`, `default-selected`	Ignored	Health-check timeout is fixed at 5 seconds.
Built-in `DIRECT`, `REJECT`	Supported
Built-in `REJECT-DROP`	Partial	Same as `REJECT`.
Built-in `PASS`	Partial	Same as `DIRECT` (doesn’t skip to the next rule).
Built-in `COMPATIBLE`	Partial	Accepted; as a rule target falls back to `DIRECT`.

Rules

Feature	Status	Notes
`DOMAIN`, `DOMAIN-SUFFIX`, `DOMAIN-KEYWORD`, `DOMAIN-REGEX`	Supported
`IP-CIDR`, `IP-CIDR6`	Supported	Either family in either type.
`GEOIP`	Partial	`GEOIP,LAN` never matches; use `GEOIP,PRIVATE`.
`GEOSITE`	Partial	Attributes (`@cn`) never match.
`DST-PORT`, `SRC-PORT`, `SRC-IP-CIDR`, `NETWORK`	Supported
`RULE-SET`	Supported
`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`	Supported	Nestable; sub-rules can carry `no-resolve`.
`MATCH`	Supported
`no-resolve`	Supported
UDP rule skipping when the target can’t carry UDP	Supported
Rule with a missing target or provider	Partial	Only that rule is dropped (mihomo rejects the file).
`IP-ASN`	Not supported	Loads, never matches.
`PROCESS-NAME`, `PROCESS-PATH`	Not supported	Loads, never matches (all platforms).
`DSCP`	Not supported	Loads, never matches.
`SUB-RULE`, `DOMAIN-WILDCARD`, `IP-SUFFIX`, `SRC-GEOIP`, `SRC-IP-ASN`, `SRC-IP-SUFFIX`, `IN-PORT`, `IN-TYPE`, `IN-USER`, `IN-NAME`, `PROCESS-NAME-REGEX`, `PROCESS-PATH-REGEX`, `UID`	Not supported	The configuration fails to load.

Rule providers

Feature	Status	Notes
`type: http`	Supported	Cached; refreshed in the background after connecting.
`type: inline`	Supported
`type: file`	Not supported	Never loads; rules using it never match.
`behavior: domain`, `ipcidr`, `classical`	Supported
`format: yaml`, `text`	Supported
`format: mrs`	Supported	`domain` and `ipcidr` behaviors.
`interval`	Supported	Default 86400 s, minimum 60 s.
`path`, `proxy`, `size-limit`	Ignored

DNS

Feature	Status	Notes
`enable`	Partial	Always forced on.
`enhanced-mode: fake-ip`	Supported	IPv4 only.
`enhanced-mode: redir-host`	Supported	MeowX’s default when the subscription doesn’t set a mode.
`fake-ip-range`	Supported	IPv4.
`fake-ip-filter`	Partial	Domain patterns only; `geosite:` / `rule-set:` entries ignored.
`nameserver`	Partial	UDP, TCP, DoT, DoH. No DoQ, `system`, `dhcp://`, or IPv6-literal UDP / TCP / DoT servers.
`#group` suffix (proxied DNS)	Supported	`#RULES` behaves like `#DIRECT`. Proxied DoT / DoH need TLS 1.3 on the server.
`default-nameserver`	Supported	IP entries only.
`direct-nameserver`	Supported
`proxy-server-nameserver`	Supported
`nameserver-policy`	Partial	Domain patterns and `geosite:`; `rule-set:` ignored. Order follows mihomo.

Hosts, sniffer, geodata

Feature	Status	Notes
`hosts` with exact domain keys and IP values	Supported
`hosts` wildcard keys, domain-name values	Not supported	Wildcard keys never match; entries without an IP are ignored.
Sniffing TLS SNI and HTTP Host	Supported	On by default; content-based, any port.
QUIC sniffing	Not supported
Sniffer options other than `enable`	Ignored
GeoIP / GeoSite data	Partial	Bundled with the app; no downloading or custom files.
