Preset Templates

Rover includes three preset routing templates that can be imported with one click from the "Policies" page via Import → Preset Templates.

Templates Include Both Policy Rules and DNS Policies

Each preset template includes complete policy rules + DNS policy configuration. No additional DNS configuration is needed after importing.

Proxy Foreign + Direct Rest

For users who only need to access a few foreign sites.

  • DNS Policy: Uses local DNS for all resolution — simple and efficient
  • Traffic Routing: Only known foreign sites (GFW list, overseas media, etc.) go through proxy; everything else is direct
  • Final Outbound: Direct

Rule Overview

Policy Rules:
  1. rule_set: [ProxyGFWlist] → Proxy
  2. rule_set: [geosite-cn] → Direct
  3. rule_set: [geoip-cn] → Direct
  final → Direct

DNS Rules:
  1. rule_set: [geosite-cn] → dns_direct_out
  2. rule_set: [geosite-geolocation-!cn] → dns_proxy_out
  final → dns_direct_out

Best for

Primarily domestic browsing with occasional access to foreign sites. Maximizes domestic access speed and stability.

Direct Domestic + Proxy Rest

For users who need full proxy coverage.

  • DNS Policy: Domestic domains use local DNS; foreign domains use Google DoT through proxy
  • Traffic Routing: Domestic domains and IPs go direct; all unmatched traffic goes through proxy
  • Final Outbound: Proxy

Rule Overview

Policy Rules:
  1. rule_set: [geosite-cn] → Direct
  2. rule_set: [geoip-cn] → Direct
  3. rule_set: [LocalAreaNetwork] → Direct
  final → Proxy

DNS Rules:
  1. rule_set: [geosite-cn] → dns_direct_out
  2. domain_suffix: [".google.com", ".youtube.com"] → dns_proxy_out
  final → dns_proxy_out (8.8.8.8 via proxy)

Best for

Full proxy coverage for privacy and access, with only domestic traffic going direct for speed.

Balanced Routing

Balances speed and privacy.

  • DNS Policy: Domestic uses Alibaba UDP for fast resolution; foreign uses Google DoT with FakeIP mode
  • Traffic Routing: Auto-detects LAN, domestic domains and IPs for direct; foreign destinations go through proxy
  • Features: Integrated DNS hijacking, traffic sniffing, and independent caching

Rule Overview

Policy Rules:
  1. rule_set: [LocalAreaNetwork] → Direct
  2. rule_set: [geosite-cn] → Direct
  3. rule_set: [geoip-cn] → Direct
  4. rule_set: [ProxyGFWlist] → Proxy
  5. rule_set: [ProxyLite] → Proxy
  final → Proxy

DNS Rules:
  Domestic → dns_direct_out (223.5.5.5, UDP)
  Foreign → dns_proxy_out (Google DoT, FakeIP)
  final → dns_proxy_out

Best for

Recommended for daily use. Automatically handles domestic/foreign routing while balancing privacy and speed.

Customizing Templates

After importing a template, you can freely modify the rules:

  • Delete rules you don't need
  • Add custom rules
  • Reorder rules
  • Change the final outbound
  • Modify DNS policies

Templates are just a starting point — all rules can be adjusted as needed.

Modified Templates Don't Auto-Update

Importing a template is equivalent to adding custom rules. Future changes need to be made manually. To restore the original template, simply re-import it (this will overwrite current rules).
