⚡ About Tachyon
Tachyon is a direct fork of Forkop by @ushan0v (formerly Podkop Plus). The project has evolved into an independent, high-performance network routing engine and DPI bypass framework designed specifically for OpenWrt (fully supporting OpenWrt 23.05, 24.10, 25.x, and SNAPSHOT builds).
Building upon the solid engineering foundations of the original Podkop by @itdoginfo and its evolution in Forkop by @ushan0v, 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 (Zapret v1 / Zapret v2 / ByeDPI):
- Full built-in integration with Zapret v1 (
nfqws), Zapret v2 (nfqws2), and ByeDPI (ciadpi) desync engines for flexible local packet manipulation directly on the router without third-party proxy servers.
- Full built-in integration with Zapret v1 (
- Multi-Dimensional Selective Routing:
- By Domains, IP Subnets & Ports: Route only selected target traffic through proxy or DPI desync engines.
- By Client Devices (MAC / IP): Per-device routing rules for individual home network clients (Smart TVs, phones, PCs).
- By GeoIP & Countries: Filter and route traffic based on destination country (GeoIP / GeoSite) with full inclusion/exclusion list controls.
- 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,zapret,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, OpenWrt 25+ & Watchdog
- OpenWrt 25+ Full Compatibility: Full support for upcoming release branches and bleeding-edge OpenWrt toolchains.
- 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.
