!!! note ""

    You can ignore the JSON Array [] tag when the content is only one item

### Default Fields

!!! note ""

    The default rule uses the following matching logic:  
    (`domain` || `domain_suffix` || `domain_keyword` || `domain_regex` || `geosite` || `geoip` || `ip_cidr` || `ip_is_private`) &&  
    (`port` || `port_range`) &&  
    (`source_geoip` || `source_ip_cidr` || `source_ip_is_private`) &&  
    (`source_port` || `source_port_range`) &&  
    `other fields`

    When a rule-set contains only a single default rule without `invert`, its fields are considered merged into the outer rule per the logic above; otherwise, it is matched as an `other field`; different rule-sets always keep OR semantics.
