What is the Smart proxy group?

This group uses adaptive node selection based on weights. You can learn more about the group’s functionality and how to integrate it into your configuration in this section.

How do GUI per-app access control settings interact with tun.include/exclude-package from the configuration? (Android)

The app merges (union) the config lists and GUI selections, but Android does not support include and exclude modes simultaneously — if the resulting include list is non-empty, exclude is ignored entirely.

ConfigGUIResult
exclude-packageDenySelected (exclude selected)✅ Union — GUI supplements config
include-packageAcceptSelected (allow only selected)✅ Union — GUI supplements config
exclude-packageAcceptSelected (allow only selected)⚠️ Include wins, exclude-package from config is ignored
include-packageDenySelected (exclude selected)⚠️ Include wins, exclude-package from GUI is ignored
anyAcceptAllConfig has full control

Rule: matching directions supplement each other; mixed directions — include always overrides exclude. This is an Android VpnService limitation, not an app bug.

What is the difference between Proxy mode and TUN mode?

Proxy mode works at the application level — only traffic from apps that support system proxy settings (HTTP/SOCKS) is intercepted. By default, Prizrak-Box automatically sets a system-wide proxy. If you don’t need this and want to configure the proxy manually in specific apps — disable it in App Settings.

TUN mode creates a virtual network interface and captures all device traffic at the packet level — regardless of whether an app supports proxy settings. Requires administrator privileges. A background service is installed alongside the app — once it’s running, you no longer need to launch the app as administrator: the required privileges are provided by the service.

When to use which:

  • Proxy — for everyday use in browsers and standard applications
  • TUN — when you need to route everything through the proxy, including games, system services, voice chat apps (e.g. Discord), and applications without proxy support
How to see numeric latency values instead of availability dots? (Android)

  1. In app settings → General → App → toggle off Latency Display (Color Dots).

  2. If you are a server owner — you can distribute numeric latency display to all your users centrally via the pxa-latency-dots HTTP header.
