FEATURES

Core Features, Explained

Clash-family clients share the same core capabilities. Expand each item below to see if it fits your needs.

Rule-Based RoutingAutomatically routes traffic direct or through a proxy based on domain or IP location.

Rule-based routing is the most heavily used feature of the Clash core. The rules section of a config file matches each connection in order: DOMAIN-SUFFIX handles domain suffixes, GEOIP checks the target IP's location, and MATCH catches everything else. A dozen or so rules is usually enough to cover the common case — connecting directly to sites in mainland China while routing traffic to sites outside China through a proxy — with no manual toggling needed. Compared to simple proxy tools that only offer a global on/off switch, rule-based routing keeps direct traffic from being routed unnecessarily, so access to sites in mainland China stays just as fast.
Multi-Protocol SupportConnect to major proxy protocols from a single client.
System-Level TUN ModeA virtual network adapter captures all traffic, leaving nothing unrouted.
Subscription Management & Auto-UpdateOne link syncs every node, refreshed on a schedule.
Consistent Cross-Platform ExperienceOne config works across all five platforms.

QUICKSTART

Get Connected in Three Steps

From install to a verified connection, it typically takes under ten minutes. Here's a condensed preview of the full guide.

Install the client and import a subscription
Get the installer for your platform from the download page and complete setup. Open the client, go to the subscription or profile page, paste the subscription link from your provider, and wait for the node list to load. After the first import, it's worth turning on subscription auto-update right away.
Choose a proxy mode and node
For everyday use, pick RULE mode and let the rules decide whether each connection goes direct or through the proxy; switch to GLOBAL when you need all traffic to go out through the proxy, and use DIRECT for troubleshooting. In the proxy group, pick a node with acceptable latency, or let an auto-test strategy choose for you.
Turn on the proxy and verify
Turn on the system proxy toggle (desktop) or start the VPN connection (mobile), then visit a site outside mainland China to confirm it's reachable, and a site inside mainland China to confirm it isn't being routed unnecessarily. If both check out, routing is working as expected.

OPEN SOURCE

Backed by an Open Source Ecosystem

Every client and core listed here comes from a public repository — the code is auditable and builds are reproducible.

Core: mihomo GPL-3.0 License Clients for 5 Platforms RULE / GLOBAL / DIRECT

Clash began as a rule-based proxy core written in Go. Thanks to its clean YAML config format and flexible rule system, it gradually became the de facto standard for this category of tool. After the original repository was archived, the config format and ecosystem didn't disappear — the community kept building on top of it.

Today the ecosystem is centered on the mihomo core (a continuation of the Clash Meta project), which keeps config compatibility while adding more protocols and DNS capabilities. Desktop and mobile clients like Clash Verge Rev, FlClash, and Clash Plus are all, at their core, graphical interfaces built around this same engine.

The core and its major clients are released under open source licenses such as GPL-3.0, so anyone can review the source, file issues, or build it themselves. Which client to choose mainly comes down to platform and interface preference — the underlying behavior is guaranteed consistent by the shared core.

Download links here follow each project's official releases, with version numbers shown dynamically on the download page; discontinued legacy clients (such as Clash for Windows) are clearly marked as archived, along with actively maintained alternatives.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A few questions new users ask most often — quick answers here, with full terminology on the glossary page.

Which should I use, RULE or GLOBAL?Use RULE for everyday rule-based routing, and switch to GLOBAL only when you need all traffic through the proxy. See the glossary for details.
What is a subscription link?A remote config address from your provider — import it into a client to automatically load nodes and rules, with no manual parameter entry.
What's the difference between TUN mode and a system proxy?A system proxy relies on apps respecting the setting, while TUN uses a virtual network adapter to capture all traffic at the network layer for more complete coverage.
Is Clash for Windows still usable?The project is no longer maintained — moving to Clash Plus or Clash Verge Rev is recommended, since the config format is compatible.
