Use when operating or configuring the lan-proxy-gateway CLI (the `gateway` binary) non-interactively — setting the proxy source/subscription, switching nodes, toggling TUN/adblock/traffic mode, adding routing rules, reading status, or starting/stopping the LAN gateway from a script or AI agent without driving the interactive TUI.

LAN Proxy Gateway Ops

Overview

lan-proxy-gateway (binary: gateway) turns a Mac/Linux/Windows machine into a LAN transparent proxy gateway on top of mihomo. It can be driven entirely from the command line — no interactive TUI required. Every config write saves gateway.yaml and hot-reloads mihomo if it is running, so changes apply live.

This skill is the command reference for operating it headlessly.

Workflow

  1. Read current state: gateway status --json and gateway config show --json.
  2. Change config with gateway config ... (or gateway node ... at runtime).
  3. Verify by re-reading status/config.

All read + config commands work without root. Only start/stop/restart need root.

Command Reference

Read state (no root, machine-readable with --json)

  • gateway status --json — running, mode, TUN, adblock, source type, ports
  • gateway config show --json — full config incl. source url/path/server, custom rules
  • gateway node list --json — proxy groups, their nodes, and the current pick (needs the gateway running)

--json output uses stable snake_case keys (running, gateway_mode, tun, …). node/config show errors are printed to stderr with a non-zero exit code (e.g. 网关未运行，先 gateway start).

Set the proxy source

  • gateway config source --type subscription --url <URL>
  • gateway config source --type file --path <clash.yaml>
  • gateway config source --type external --server 127.0.0.1 --port 7890 --kind http (chain behind a local Clash/Verge)
  • gateway config source --type remote --server <host> --port <p> --kind socks5 --user <u> --pass <pw>
  • gateway config source --type none (all direct)

Toggle behavior

  • gateway config mode <rule|global|direct>
  • gateway config tun <on|off>
  • gateway config adblock <on|off>
  • gateway config gateway-mode <tun|forward> (restarts mihomo)

Custom routing rules

  • gateway config rule add <direct|proxy|reject> <RULE> — <RULE> is any mihomo rule body: DOMAIN-SUFFIX,openai.com, DOMAIN,api.foo.com, IP-CIDR,10.0.0.0/8, PROCESS-NAME,Cursor, GEOIP,CN, etc.
  • gateway config rule list --json
  • gateway config rule rm <direct|proxy|reject> <index> — index comes from rule list

Switch nodes at runtime (needs the gateway running)

  • gateway node list
  • gateway node switch "<group>" "<node>" — quote names; groups/nodes contain spaces & emoji

Lifecycle

  • gateway install — first-run wizard: downloads mihomo + GeoIP, guides initial setup
  • gateway start / gateway stop / gateway restart — needs root (TUN, IP forwarding, firewall)
  • gateway service install|uninstall|status — OS service for auto-start on boot

Privileges

start/stop/restart change the host network stack (TUN device, IP forwarding, pf/iptables) and need root. status, config *, and node * do not. If passwordless sudo is available, run sudo gateway start directly; otherwise tell the user to run it themselves. Never assume the machine should proxy its own traffic — check gateway config show (tun, gateway_mode) first.

Common Mistakes

  • Driving the interactive TUI (gateway with no args) by piping keystrokes — fragile. Use the headless config/node commands above instead.
  • Running node list/switch when the gateway is stopped — they need mihomo's running API; start first.
  • Forgetting to quote group/node names in node switch — they contain spaces and emoji.
  • Editing gateway.yaml by hand while the gateway runs — prefer config commands so the change hot-reloads cleanly.

Scenarios
