hosts
Similar to a system hosts file — points certain domains to a fixed IP, with wildcard support, without needing an actual DNS lookup.
Example Config
config.yaml YAML
hosts: '*.clash.dev': 127.0.0.1 'alpha.clash.dev': '::1' test.com: [1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2] baidu.com: google.com
Key (Domain)Wildcards supported
Supports domain wildcards, e.g. *.clash.dev.
Value (Target)String / Array
Can be a single IP, an array of IPs (multiple IPs are returned round-robin), or another domain name to redirect to — though domain redirection doesn't support arrays, only a single value.
Exact domain names take priority over wildcarded ones — for example, foo.example.com takes priority over *.example.com, which in turn takes priority over .example.com.
