How to grab extra domestic sites for Xray (ProjectX)

1. Configure XRay client to include geosite and domestic domains in routing and switch .log.loglevel to "info". See easy-xray client config for reference. Set wrong ip address or port of the server to cause connection error if client tries to connect. Let congig_client.jsoncontains the following:

  "log": {
    "access": "none",
    "error": "",
    "loglevel": "info",
    "dnsLog": false
  },
  ...
            "address": "1.2.3.4",
            "port": 444,
  ...
  "routing": {
    "domainStrategy": "AsIs",
    "rules": [
      {
        "type": "field",
        "domain": [
          "geosite:cn",
          "domain:cn",
          "domain:ru",
          "domain:by",
          "domain:ir"
        ],
        "outboundTag": "direct"
      },
  ...

2. Run sudo xray -c config_client.json and use it to connect to some site for that direct connection is expected (like baidu dot com or vk dot com). Websites get its components from a number of addresses, some of them are out of the current geosite.dat Xray file. In this case Xray client tries to fetch content through the Xray server and causes a connection error and breaks the site coherence. To see names of sites from which content delivery failed, filter warnings then filter sniffed name some lines before the warnings:

sudo xray -c config_client.json | grep -B 15 Warning | grep sniffed

3. Running the command above with browser connected to Xray socks proxy, go to domestic sites. Check the resulting list for false hits and with some whois service, then add websites to data/coherence-extra file.

4. Convert the file to format acceptable by Xray with this utility, say to customgeo.dat.

5. Use the obtained .dat file in Xray: sudo cp customgeo.dat /usr/local/share/xray/, and in config_client.json:

  "routing": {
    "domainStrategy": "AsIs",
    "rules": [
      {
        "type": "field",
        "domain": [
          "geosite:cn",
          "domain:cn",
          ...
          "ext:customgeo.dat:coherence-extra"
        ],
        ...

6. To use this list in clients (for instance, in Hiddify's Settings/Routing/Custom rules/Direct URL), it can be transformed with commands

    ./4hiddify.sh data/* > comma-and-newline-separated-list.txt # also fit for V2Ray
    ./4nekoray.sh data/* > newline-separated-list.txt

which not only make the right format, but also adds websites from data/coherence-extra-plus to the list. These websites shouldn't be blocked by the server, but preferably should be opened directly from the client. For example, googleapis.com is used (among other purposes) to get geolocation from ip-address and obviously works correctly only when accessed directly.
