In plain English

This repository provides enhanced routing rule data files for V2Ray and compatible proxy tools. V2Ray is a network proxy framework used to route internet traffic through different paths based on rules, for example, sending Chinese domestic websites through a direct connection while routing foreign websites through a proxy. The two core data files it produces are geoip.dat (geographic IP address data) and geosite.dat (domain name categorizations), which replace the official versions provided by V2Ray with more comprehensive and frequently updated alternatives. The geoip.dat file maps IP address ranges to countries and CDN providers such as Cloudflare, Google, Netflix, and Telegram, allowing routing rules like "if the destination IP belongs to Cloudflare, send it directly." The China IP data merges multiple sources including MaxMind GeoLite2 and operator-specific lists for more accurate coverage. The geosite.dat file categorizes domain names into groups such as Chinese domestic sites (direct connection), sites blocked by China's Great Firewall (proxy needed), advertising domains (blocked), and Windows telemetry domains (optionally blocked). It incorporates data from GFWList, EasyList, AdGuard DNS Filter, and other well-known blocklists. Both files are rebuilt automatically every day at 6 a.m. Beijing time via GitHub Actions to stay current. They are compatible with V2Ray, Xray-core, Clash-Meta, Hysteria, Trojan-Go, and similar proxy tools. Someone running a self-hosted proxy setup to manage network traffic in a China-adjacent context, routing local vs. foreign traffic intelligently, would use these files as drop-in replacements for the official routing data.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
How do I set up V2Ray with these geoip.dat and geosite.dat files to route Chinese domestic sites directly and foreign sites through a proxy?
Prompt 2
What's the difference between the official V2Ray routing data and the enhanced data in this repository, and why would I use this instead?
Prompt 3
Show me how to configure Clash-Meta to use these routing rules to block ads and split traffic by geography.
Prompt 4
How often are these routing data files updated, and how do I ensure my proxy tool always uses the latest version?
Prompt 5
Can I use these geosite.dat and geoip.dat files with Trojan-Go or Hysteria, or are they only for V2Ray?
