Route specific websites through a proxy server while keeping other traffic direct.
Set up network-wide encrypted tunneling for all devices on your home or office network.
Manage proxy rules visually through a web interface instead of editing configuration files.
Requires OpenWrt device with compatible hardware, flashing custom firmware, and configuring proxy protocols; no quick local demo possible.
OpenClash is a plugin that runs the Mihomo (Clash) proxy client on OpenWrt, an open-source operating system designed for routers and embedded network devices. In plain terms, it lets you install a network proxy tool directly on your router, so every device connected to that router automatically benefits from the proxy without needing individual configuration. The proxy client supports several popular proxy protocols including Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, Vmess, Trojan, and Snell, these are encrypted tunneling methods commonly used to route internet traffic through a remote server. OpenClash adds a web-based management interface (via LuCI, OpenWrt's standard graphical interface) so you can configure routing rules visually rather than editing configuration files by hand. You can set flexible rules to decide which traffic goes through the proxy and which connects directly. You would use OpenClash if you have a router running OpenWrt and want to apply proxy routing rules at the network level, for example, selectively routing certain websites through a proxy server. The README is primarily in Chinese. It is licensed under MIT and its proxy core is based on the Mihomo project by MetaCubeX.
