Hermes (赫尔墨斯) is this project's Network Operations Agent. Named after the Greek god of roads, crossings, and messengers, Hermes' overall job is to handle network connectivity problems — keeping your connections to the outside world alive and fast, diagnosing and fixing whatever gets in the way. Proxy forwarding is just one slice of that; the same mindset applies to any network issue you'd rather not babysit by hand.
Today Hermes ships with these capabilities:
- Real-traffic node testing — verifies whether each proxy node can actually carry traffic, not just whether TCP reaches the server (catches expired credentials, failed handshakes, and nodes that can't reach the internet).
- Smart node selection — picks the fastest usable node by latency and bandwidth, with three strategies: latency-only, speed-only, or a hybrid that leads with bandwidth and falls back on latency.
- Automatic failover — the moment the current node degrades, Hermes switches to a better one; when all nodes go down, it refreshes subscriptions and retries.
- Flexible routing — sends specific domains (GitHub, OpenAI, Google …) through specific nodes while everything else uses the default.
This repository is the Hermes Agent project. XPilot is one of the CLI tools Hermes develops — a Python CLI that makes it easy to use Xray-core, invoked as the xpilot command. Run the commands yourself, or hand them to your AI assistant — either way, Hermes does the work.
