Online: copy the JSON above by clicking

Locally: the file is at configs/v2rayn/xray/routing-rules.json

Step 4. Confirm import¶

A dialog appears: «Do you want to append rules?»

Creating a new rule set — click Нет / No (replace)
Want to add to existing rules — click Да / Yes (append)

Append or replace rules dialog — «Да/Yes» = append to existing, «Нет/No» = replace all rules

Recommendation

If setting up from scratch — click Нет/No (replace) for a clean rule set.

Step 5. Verify rules, fill in name and strategies¶

After import you'll see all rules in the Rule List.

Verify rules are displayed (15 rules)
In the Remarks field enter a name, e.g.: Rules
Set Domain strategy: IPOnDemand
Set sing-box domain strategy: ipv4_only
Click Confirm at the bottom right

Imported rules with filled fields — Fill in Remarks, select strategies, click Confirm

Domain strategy: IPOnDemand — Xray resolves domain to IP only when needed for IP rules. Saves DNS queries. Optimal balance of accuracy and speed.

sing-box domain strategy: ipv4_only — when in TUN mode (sing-box core), request only IPv4 addresses. IPv6 disabled — fewer leaks, fewer surprises.

Step 6. Confirm in Routing Setting window¶

You'll return to the main Routing Setting window.

Verify your rule set (Rules) is in the list
Click Confirm at the bottom right

Routing Setting with new rule set — «Rules» appears in the list → click Confirm

Done!

Routing is configured. Don't forget to select this rule set in the main v2rayN window: bottom panel → Routing dropdown → select your Rules set.

Step 7. Activate the rule set¶

In the main v2rayN window, in the bottom status bar:

Find the Routing dropdown (bottom right)
Select your rule set Rules
Restart connection: Reload button in the menu

What's next¶

Routing is done! Now let's configure secure DNS:
