KEYCMLiussssQuick subscription path key; access /CMLiussss to quickly get nodes
UUID90cd4a77-141a-43c9-991b-08263cfe9c10Force fixed UUID; only supports UUIDv4 standard format
PROXYIPproxyip.cmliussss.net:443Global custom reverse proxy IP
URLhttps://cloudflare-error-page-3th.pages.devDefault homepage camouflage address (can be a webpage URL or 1101)
GO2SOCKS5blog.cmliussss.com,*.ip111.cn,*google.comForce SOCKS5 list (* for global, domains separated by commas)
DEBUG1 or trueDeveloper mode; by default debug logging is disabled (console.log). Set to 1 or true to enable debug logging
OFF_LOG1 or trueBy default logging is enabled; set to 1 or true to disable logging
BEST_SUB1 or trueBy default the preferred subscription generator feature is disabled; set to 1 or true to enable it
PRELOAD_RACE_DIAL1 or trueBy default the preload race dial feature is disabled; set to 1 or true to enable it

🔧 Advanced Tips

To modify the TOKEN in the subscription URL and the UUID used for node verification, you can change the variables:

  1. Changing the ADMIN or KEY variable’s value will randomly modify the TOKEN in the subscription URL and the UUID used for node verification.
  2. Setting the UUID variable will force-fix the TOKEN in the subscription URL and the UUID used for node verification. Note that it must be in UUIDv4 standard format, otherwise nodes won’t work.

This tool supports dynamically switching the underlying proxy scheme via PATH:
