Key Takeaway (TL;DR): Standard System Proxy only redirects applications respecting Windows proxy settings. CLI utilities (Git, Docker, SSH) and games bypass this mechanism. Enabling Clash Verge Rev's TUN mode installs a native Layer-3 virtual adapter (Wintun on Windows, utun on macOS) that intercepts all system IP traffic transparently. Coupled with Fake-IP resolution and 2.5Gbps IEPL circuits, this guarantees zero-configuration terminal acceleration and smooth low-latency gaming.
1. Architecture: System Proxy vs. TUN Interface
TUN mode intercepts raw IP packets rather than operating as an application-level HTTP/SOCKS5 relay.
Verification Steps:
- Install Service Mode to acquire administrative networking rights.
- Toggle TUN Mode on with
