## Project history and usage

mihomo is the MetaCubeX rule-based network tunnel distributed by package managers under the description "formerly known as ClashMeta." MacPorts describes it as a Go program that supports HTTP, SOCKS, VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan, Hysteria, and other protocols, with built-in DNS server functionality including DoH and DoT support.

### Project history

Its operational model comes from the Clash-family proxy configuration style. The documentation organizes the system around proxy ports, SOCKS and mixed listeners, TUN and redirect modes, proxy providers, proxy groups, rule providers, route rules, DNS behavior, and an external controller API. The general configuration page shows common runtime controls such as LAN access, authentication for HTTP/SOCKS/mixed proxies, rule/global/direct modes, IPv6, process matching, and a REST-style external controller on a local address.

### How it is used

Package-manager adoption reflects its role as a proxy core rather than a desktop client: Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and winget package the executable, while separate dashboards and clients can drive it through configuration files and its controller API. In practice it is used as the engine under rule-based proxy setups on desktops, servers, and gateways, especially where users need protocol diversity, subscription/provider handling, DNS policy, and route selection in one daemon.
