This function is only available for LibCyber Desktop clients

Function entry and guidance​

After opening LibCyber Desktop, click the gear - custom rules to enter the list of custom diversion rules.

After adding rules, you can click each added rule to edit it.

Instructions for use​

This function is used to configure the data acceleration or direct connection of some websites, that is, access through node acceleration (consume LibCyber traffic), or direct connection (not consume LibCyber traffic) to a certain website.

Common Scenarios and Cases​

  • Li Hua often visits the www.ipip.net website, which is a website to check his own IP and location. He found that after using the LibCyber Desktop rule mode to connect to the node, his home broadband IP or location is still displayed, not an overseas IP. At this time, it may be because the website is a domestic website, and the direct connection rule is used by default in the built-in rules to avoid wasting traffic. At this time, you can add a rule through the custom rule function, select URL suffix for the type (the first option), fill in ipip.net for the URL suffix (the second option), and adopt a strategy (the third option) Select Accelerate. After adding the rules, restart the software, and the new rules will take effect. Then open a new incognito tab in the browser (to exclude cache interference), and then open www.ipip.net to see that your IP is already an overseas IP address. The same is true if you want to go to the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan version of Bilibili (bilibili, station b).

  • Li Hua often visits app.apple.com website, which is the URL related to Apple’s updated app, but the built-in rules of LibCyber Desktop accelerate access to this website by default. Because this is an international company website, the acceleration rules are prioritized to avoid access exceptions. Li Hua doesn't want to waste traffic on any Apple-related software. At this time, you can add a rule through the custom rule function, select URL keyword for the type (the first option), fill in apple for the keyword (the second option), and select the strategy (the third option) Direct connection. Add another rule of the same type, fill in icloud for the keyword, and so on, and then add appstore, itunes, mzstatic, aaplimg, me.com related rules. Finally, restart the software to make the rules take effect, so that most of the traffic related to Apple software updates will not be counted by LibCyber. The same is true if you want to avoid wasting traffic on Microsoft Windows updates.

Special Instructions​

  • This software has pre-built rules, including the rules of most common overseas websites and domestic common websites, so if it is not a special case, you do not need to set direct connection rules for such as Baidu, WeChat, Taobao, etc.

  • The newly created rules will overwrite the built-in rules. If you want the Shanghai overseas version of Taobao, you can create new Taobao-related rules and adopt a strategy to select speed up.

  • In the custom rule list, the higher the rule is, the higher the priority is, the upper rule will override the lower rule, and the newly added rule will override the previously added rule.
