Q: SwitchyOmega shows that many resources are not loaded?

A: It may take a while. If there is no response after waiting for about 1 minute, it means that XX-net is not working normally.

Q: What is the difference between X-Tunnel and X-Tunnel automatic switching mode?

A: If it is set to X-Tunnel, it means a global proxy, and all data of the browser is transmitted through X-Tunnel; X-Tunnel automatic switching mode will only transmit domain names in the PAC blacklist through X-Tunnel, other traffic Automatically select direct connection
