Advanced Matching Rule
Chute supports several advanced matching rules for fine-grained traffic control.
Notice: These rule types are accepted by the configuration parser, but the current Chute releases do not yet populate the session attributes they match against (network type, SSID, DNS record type, inbound metadata). Until a future release wires these up, the rules below will not match any traffic at runtime.
SUBNET
Rule matches based on network subnet attributes. Uses KEY:VALUE syntax.
SUBNET,TYPE:WIFI,Proxy
SUBNET,SSID:MyWiFi,DIRECT
SUBNET,BSSID:00:11:22:33:44:55,Proxy
SUBNET,ROUTER:192.168.1.1,DIRECT
Supported keys:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
TYPE |
Network type (e.g. WIFI, CELLULAR, WIRED) |
SSID |
Wi-Fi SSID name |
BSSID |
Wi-Fi access point BSSID (MAC address) |
ROUTER |
Router/gateway IP address |
HOSTNAME-TYPE
HOSTNAME-TYPE,AAAA,Proxy
Rule matches on the DNS record type of the request — the address family the client connects to: A for an IPv4 destination (resolved or a literal address), AAAA for IPv6. A hostname that has not been resolved yet has no record type and does not match. Useful for routing IPv4 and IPv6 traffic differently.
Values: A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6).
IN-TYPE
IN-TYPE,SOCKS5,Proxy
Rule matches based on the inbound connection type. Supported values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
HTTP |
HTTP proxy inbound |
SOCKS5 |
SOCKS5 proxy inbound |
TUN |
TUN/VIF interface inbound |
IN-USER
IN-USER,user1,Proxy
Rule matches based on the inbound authentication username. Useful when Chute is configured with multiple inbound proxies with different credentials.
IN-NAME
IN-NAME,my-proxy,Proxy
Rule matches based on the named inbound proxy configuration. Useful when running multiple proxy server instances with different names.
