⚡ About Tachyon
Tachyon is an advanced fork of Forkop (formerly Podkop Plus). The project has evolved into an independent, high-performance network routing engine and DPI bypass framework designed specifically for OpenWrt.
Building upon the solid engineering foundations of the original Podkop by @itdoginfo, Tachyon introduces enterprise-grade resilience, multi-protocol routing, and dynamic system self-healing.
The core backend of Tachyon is written in ucode — OpenWrt's native, lightweight scripting language — delivering blazingly fast execution with minimal RAM footprint on embedded hardware.
🔥 Key Features
🛡️ Multi-Protocol Proxying & Local DPI Bypass
- sing-box Integration: Native support for modern proxy protocols including VLESS, VMess, Shadowsocks, Trojan, and WireGuard.
- Local DPI Bypass (zapret2 / ByeDPI): Built-in integration with
zapret2(nfqws2) andByeDPIfor on-device Deep Packet Inspection bypass without relying on remote servers. - Granular Selective Routing: Custom rules based on domain names, IP CIDR blocks, and ports. Route only target traffic through proxy or DPI desync engines.
- Automated Subscription Updates: Background fetching and parsing of remote proxy subscription links.
🤖 Interactive Telegram Control Bot
A feature-rich control center right inside your messenger:
- Live Rule Management: View active routing lists and instantly add new domains or IP subnets on the fly.
- Instant Toggle: Enable or disable routing sections with a single button.
- Server Selection & Latency: Switch active proxy nodes with live RTT ping measurements.
- Device Access Control: View active DHCP clients and block/unblock internet access by MAC address.
- Network Diagnostics: Trigger connection tests directly from Telegram.
🩺 System Self-Healing — Tachyon Doctor
An intelligent diagnostic and repair engine available via CLI (tachyon doctor) or WebUI:
- Scans all core services (
sing-box,zapret2,byedpi,dnsmasq,watchdog). - Validates
nftableschains and local DNS resolution health. - Auto-Repair: Automatically rebuilds broken firewall rules and restarts crashed services without requiring a full router reboot.
⚡ Reliability, Hot-reload & Watchdog
- Seamless Hot-Reload: Rule updates and server switches apply softly without dropping active TCP connections (Discord calls, VoIP, and downloads remain uninterrupted).
- OOM Watchdog & Memory Tuning: Continuous RAM health monitoring. Dynamically adjusts process limits (
GOMEMLIMIT) under memory pressure and sends Telegram alerts. - MSS Clamping (MTU Fix): Automated resolution of MTU fragmentation and frozen TCP handshakes over tunnel interfaces.
🖥️ Modern Web Interface (LuCI)
- Native integration into OpenWrt's LuCI dashboard.
- Real-time latency tracking, subscription manager, rule editor, and service controls.
💻 Installation
Run the following single command in your router's SSH terminal:
sh <(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dushnilin/tachyon/main/install.sh)
Note
Automatic Migration: Existing configurations from Forkop, Podkop Plus, or original Podkop are fully compatible. The installer will automatically migrate your settings to
/etc/config/tachyon.
