What is this?
A set of ready-made rule files for the iOS proxy app Shadowrocket: each file tells Shadowrocket which sites to connect to directly and which to route through your proxy, while filtering ads.

Then disconnect and reconnect once so the new rules take effect.

The rules are plain text and cannot tunnel traffic themselves, so without a proxy client that loads them they do nothing.

The author suggests downloading both and switching between them.
