Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Install fancyss on an ASUS router to route traffic through Shadowsocks, V2ray, or Trojan proxy servers.

USE CASE 2

Download the correct offline package for your router's chip architecture when the primary repository is unreachable.

USE CASE 3

Set up split-tunnel routing so only blocked sites go through the proxy while domestic traffic stays direct and fast.

USE CASE 4

Configure automatic node list subscriptions and failover between proxy servers directly on the router.

Requires an ASUS router running asuswrt-merlin firmware with the software center installed, check the compatibility table for your exact model.

In plain English

This repository is an offline installation package archive for fancyss, a plugin that adds network proxy capabilities to ASUS routers running the asuswrt or asuswrt-merlin firmware with a software center. The README is written primarily in Chinese, and the project is aimed at users in mainland China who want to route their internet traffic through proxy servers to reach websites that are blocked there. The archive contains pre-built installation packages for several different router hardware platforms, organized into folders by chip architecture. There are packages for armv7 routers, armv8 (64-bit ARM) routers, routers using Qualcomm chips, routers using MediaTek chips, and a legacy folder for older hardware that is no longer maintained. Having the packages stored here means users can install fancyss without needing to download from the main project repository, which can be useful if the primary source is unreachable. The plugin supports multiple proxy protocols including Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, V2ray, Xray, Trojan, and several newer protocols designed to blend in with normal web traffic. It also offers several routing modes: one that routes only traffic to blocked sites, one for mainland-China-only whitelisting, a gaming mode, and a full global proxy mode. DNS configuration options are included, and users can subscribe to node lists, switch between primary and backup proxy servers automatically, and schedule reboots or subscription refreshes. The README includes a long compatibility table listing specific ASUS and Netgear router models, their firmware types, processor chips, and which version of the fancyss package to use. Older versions before 3.1.6 have been removed from the archive for security reasons.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I have an ASUS router with an armv8 chip running asuswrt-merlin firmware with the software center. Which fancyss package from this archive should I download and how do I install it?
Prompt 2
Help me configure fancyss on my ASUS router to use a Shadowsocks server and automatically switch to a backup server if the primary goes down.
Prompt 3
I want fancyss to use split-tunnel mode so only sites blocked in China go through the proxy and my local and domestic traffic stays direct. How do I set that up?
Prompt 4
Walk me through adding a V2ray subscription URL to fancyss and setting it to refresh the node list automatically on a schedule.
Prompt 5
My router model is in the fancyss compatibility table but I'm not sure which package version to use. How do I find the right one for my hardware?
