Docs Config Load Balancing (load-balance)

Load Balancing (load-balance)

Spreads traffic across multiple nodes in the group to make full use of the combined bandwidth of several routes; unhealthy nodes are automatically skipped.

Example Config

config.yaml YAML

proxy-groups:
  - name: "load-balance"
    type: load-balance
    proxies:
      - ss1
      - ss2
      - vmess1
    url: 'https://www.gstatic.com/generate_204'
    interval: 300
    strategy: consistent-hashing

strategy

round-robin

Distributes all requests to the group's nodes in a round-robin rotation.

consistent-hashing

Requests to the same destination address are pinned to the same node in the group. When the destination is a domain, matching is done on the top-level domain — good for scenarios that need session persistence (e.g. some sites require you to stay logged in from the same IP).

sticky-sessions

Requests with the same source address + destination address are pinned to the same node, with the mapping cached for 10 minutes before expiring — a finer-grained binding than consistent-hashing.

See common fields for the rest.
