What exactly is Clash?
Clash is a high-performance network proxy core driven by the open-source community and written in Go. It doesn't provide nodes itself, but acts as a powerful 'traffic orchestration engine' that lets you precisely manage purchased or self-built proxy nodes according to rules.
A simple analogy: if a node is a 'highway', Clash is the smartest 'navigation system'—it decides which traffic goes via the highway and which stays local, ensuring the fastest and most stable experience.

Full Proxy Protocol Analysis
Clash supports all major protocols, eliminating the need for multiple clients
Shadowsocks
The classic encrypted proxy protocol, born in 2012. Lightweight and efficient, it's widely supported and the foundation for most providers.
VMess
A next-gen protocol from the V2Ray project with advanced TLS obfuscation. Its traffic patterns are extremely hard to identify, performing well in restricted regions.
Trojan
Disguises proxy traffic as normal HTTPS requests, making it look like a standard website. Known as one of the hardest protocols to detect.
Hysteria 2
A next-gen accelerator based on the QUIC protocol, optimized for high loss/high latency environments. Speeds can be several times faster than traditional protocols on international lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you might have before starting
The Clash core and all client versions are released under the MIT License and are completely free. You just need to provide your own proxy nodes (via an 'airport' provider or self-built server). Clash itself is a free management tool.
Traditional VPNs encrypt all traffic through a single tunnel, slowing down local sites and making verification patterns obvious. Clash's edge is Smart Split: local sites stay direct while international ones go through the proxy, ensuring zero impact on daily use. Plus, SS/VMess/Trojan offer better obfuscation than standard VPNs.
Clash is just a tool and does not provide nodes itself. You need to purchase a service from a provider (usually costing a few dollars/month) or build your own server, then import the link. Most providers offer one-click tutorials for Clash.
Yes. One subscription link can be used across multiple devices. Device limits depend on your provider's plan (usually 3–5 simultaneous connections), not on Clash itself.
The original author stopped updates in 2023, but the community has since launched several actively maintained forks (like Clash Verge Rev and Mihomo Party) that are more powerful and secure. We recommend using these newer versions.
