Core features
From rule-based routing to system-level proxying, everything daily use calls for.
Rule-based routing
Routes traffic by domain, IP and GeoIP rules — local sites connect directly while foreign traffic goes through the proxy.
Multi-protocol support
Supports Shadowsocks, Vmess, Trojan, Snell, SOCKS5 and HTTP, freely mixed within a single profile.
TUN Mode
Takes over traffic at the network layer via a virtual NIC — works even for apps that ignore the system proxy (games, CLI tools, UWP apps).
Traffic monitoring
See every connection's destination, matched rule and speed in real time — evidence at hand when things go wrong.
Subscription management
Import a subscription URL to generate the profile automatically, with scheduled updates; power users can customize via Mixin and Parsers.
Security & privacy
Runs locally, fully open source, uploads no user data; supports DoH / DoT encrypted DNS.
Network
Click any node to see its route and latency.
Current route: Hong Kong · IEPL line · latency 42 ms · latency refreshes every 3 s

What users say
Once the routing rules were set up I barely touch them — intranet, GitHub and streaming each take their own route. Haven't changed the config in a year.

TUN mode fixed the old pain of CLI tools bypassing the proxy — no more setting env vars for npm and docker pull.

A colleague recommended it. The UI is among the cleanest of its kind, and the Connections page shows exactly which rule each flow hit — debugging is easy.

Getting Started
Installing Clash for Windows: from download to first launch

FeaturesTUN mode explained: how it works, how to enable it, when to use it
TUN takes over all traffic at the network layer through a virtual NIC — prerequisites and the exact steps.
Rules & RoutingClash rule syntax 101: reading your first rule
Breaking down the 'TYPE,matcher,policy' three-part syntax so every line in the rules section makes sense.
FeaturesAllow LAN: sharing the proxy with phones, tablets and consoles
With LAN sharing on, other devices on the same Wi-Fi can use the proxy with nothing installed.

A six-step checklist that walks from node to system settings to isolate the outage.
FAQ
Is Clash for Windows free?
Yes — Clash for Windows is completely free and open source. The app itself provides no proxy servers; you need to bring your own server or subscription.
How do I import a subscription URL?
Open the Profiles page, paste the subscription URL into the input box at the top and click Download. You can set an auto-update interval to keep the node list fresh. The Quick Start section above walks through the whole flow.
What is the difference between TUN mode and the system proxy?
The system proxy only affects apps that honor it (browsers, mostly). TUN mode takes over all traffic at the network layer through a virtual NIC, so games, UWP apps and proxy-ignoring programs are covered too.
Which proxy protocols are supported?
Shadowsocks / ShadowsocksR, Vmess, Trojan, Snell, SOCKS5 and HTTP(S) are all supported and can be mixed in a single profile.
The proxy is on but nothing loads — what now?
Check in order: ① the system proxy is on; ② the selected node passes a latency test; ③ the profile rules are correct. If it persists, check the Logs page for errors or retry with TUN mode off. See the full troubleshooting checklist.
