1. What is Clash for Windows?

Clash for Windows is a graphical user interface (GUI) client for the Clash core, a powerful and versatile rule-based proxy engine written in Go. It allows users to manage their network traffic by directing it through various proxy servers based on a set of customizable rules. Think of it as a highly sophisticated traffic manager for your computer.

  • Understanding the Clash Core: The Clash core is the engine that handles all the proxying and rule processing. It’s a command-line tool, but Clash for Windows provides a user-friendly interface to interact with it. The core itself is open-source and actively maintained.

  • Key Features and Benefits:

    • Rule-Based Routing: This is the core strength of Clash. You can define rules that specify which traffic goes through which proxy server (or directly to the internet) based on domain names, IP addresses, keywords, and more.
    • Multiple Proxy Protocols: Supports various proxy protocols, including Shadowsocks, VMess, Trojan, Snell, SOCKS5, and HTTP(S).
    • Load Balancing and Failover: Distribute traffic across multiple proxy servers for increased speed and reliability. If one server fails, Clash can automatically switch to another.
    • DNS Management: Control how your computer resolves domain names, preventing DNS leaks and enhancing privacy.
    • TUN Mode: Capture all network traffic from your system, including applications that don’t typically respect system proxy settings.
    • User-Friendly Interface: Clash for Windows provides a clean and intuitive interface for managing profiles, proxies, and rules.
    • External Controller Support: Use a web-based dashboard (like yacd) for remote management and monitoring.
    • Active Development and Community Support: Clash is actively developed, and a large community provides support and resources.

  • Why Choose Clash for Windows?

  • Alternatives and Comparisons:

    • V2RayN: Another popular proxy client for Windows, primarily focused on V2Ray. Clash offers broader protocol support and a more flexible rule system.
    • ShadowsocksR-Windows: A fork of the original Shadowsocks client. Clash supports Shadowsocks and offers more advanced features.
    • Commercial VPN Services: While convenient, VPN services often lack the fine-grained control and flexibility of Clash. Clash is more suitable for users who need specific routing rules.

2. Prerequisites and System Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows 7 SP1 or later (Windows 10 or 11 recommended). 64-bit versions are strongly recommended for better performance and compatibility.
  • .NET Framework: Clash for Windows relies on the .NET Framework. The installer usually handles this automatically, but ensure you have .NET Framework 4.8 or later installed. If not please install from: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48
  • Administrative Privileges: You’ll need administrative privileges to install and configure Clash for Windows, especially for features like TUN mode.
  • Internet Connection: Required for downloading the software, importing profiles, and connecting to proxy servers.
  • Basic Understanding of Networking Concepts: While this guide explains many concepts, a basic understanding of proxies, DNS, and IP addresses will be helpful.

3. Installation

  • Downloading Clash for Windows:

    • Go to the official GitHub repository for Clash for Windows: https://github.com/Fndroid/clash_for_windows_pkg/releases
    • Download the latest release. Look for a file named something like Clash.for.Windows-x.x.x-win.7z or Clash.for.Windows-x.x.x-win.zip (where x.x.x is the version number). Choose the 64-bit version if your system supports it.

  • Installation Steps:

    1. Extract the Archive: Extract the downloaded .7z or .zip file to a location of your choice (e.g., C:\Program Files\Clash for Windows). Avoid locations with spaces in the path if possible.
    2. Run the Installer (Optional): Some releases include an installer (.exe file). If present, run it to install Clash for Windows. This may create Start Menu shortcuts and handle .NET Framework dependencies.
    3. Run Clash for Windows: If you extracted the archive directly, navigate to the extracted folder and double-click Clash for Windows.exe.
    4. Service Mode (Recommended): In the Clash for Windows interface, go to the “Settings” tab. Under “Service Mode,” click “Install”. This allows Clash to run as a background service, ensuring it starts automatically with Windows and remains active even when the GUI is closed.

  • Verifying Installation:

    • After starting Clash for Windows, you should see the main interface.
    • If Service Mode is installed, you should see a Clash for Windows icon in the system tray.

4. Initial Configuration and Basic Usage

  • Understanding the Interface:

    • Proxies: This tab displays your configured proxy servers and allows you to select which one to use (if you’re using a select proxy group).
    • Profiles: This tab is where you manage your configuration profiles. You can import, create, edit, and delete profiles here.
    • Logs: This tab shows real-time logs from the Clash core, which can be helpful for troubleshooting.
    • Settings: This tab contains various settings, including Service Mode, TUN Mode, External Controller, and general application settings.
    • Connections: Display the active network connections.
    • About: Information about the application, including the version number.

  • Obtaining a Subscription Link (or Creating a Custom Configuration):

    • Subscription Link (Recommended for Beginners): Most proxy providers offer a subscription link. This link contains all the necessary information about their servers and automatically updates your configuration. Obtain this link from your provider.
    • Custom Configuration (Advanced): You can manually create a config.yaml file, defining your own proxies, groups, and rules. This requires a deeper understanding of the Clash configuration format (covered in Section 5).

  • Importing a Profile:

    1. Go to the “Profiles” tab.
    2. Click “Import” (or the “+” button, depending on the version).
    3. Paste your subscription link into the “URL” field.
    4. Give your profile a name.
    5. Click “Import”. Clash for Windows will download and parse the configuration.

  • Starting and Stopping the Proxy:

    1. System Proxy (Easiest): On the “General” tab (or sometimes the “Settings” tab), toggle the “System Proxy” switch to “On”. This sets your system-wide proxy settings to use Clash.
    2. TUN Mode (More Comprehensive): On the “Settings” tab, enable “TUN Mode”. This requires additional configuration (covered in Section 6).
    3. To stop the proxy, toggle the “System Proxy” or “TUN Mode” switch to “Off”.

  • System Proxy vs. TUN Mode: Choosing the Right Option:

    • System Proxy: The easiest option. It directs traffic from applications that respect system proxy settings through Clash. However, some applications might ignore these settings.
    • TUN Mode: Creates a virtual network interface (TUN device) and routes all network traffic through it. This is more comprehensive but requires more configuration and can sometimes cause compatibility issues. It’s generally recommended for advanced users who need to ensure all traffic is proxied.

  • Basic Profile Switching:

    • If you have multiple profiles, you can switch between them on the “Profiles” tab. Select the desired profile and click “Switch” (or the checkmark icon).

5. Understanding the Configuration File (config.yaml)

The config.yaml file is the heart of Clash. It’s a text file written in YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language) format that defines your proxies, proxy groups, and rules. Understanding this file is crucial for customizing Clash to your specific needs.

  • Key Sections:

    • proxies: Defines individual proxy servers.
    • proxy-groups: Groups proxies together for various purposes (load balancing, failover, etc.).
    • rules: Specifies how traffic is routed based on various criteria.

  • proxies:

    • Each proxy server is defined as a separate entry under the proxies section.
    • Each entry must have a name (unique identifier) and a type (e.g., ss, vmess, trojan, http, socks5).
    • Other parameters depend on the proxy type (e.g., server, port, password, cipher for Shadowsocks).

    “`yaml
    proxies:
    – name: “Proxy A”
    type: ss
    server: server_a.example.com
    port: 443
    cipher: aes-256-gcm
    password: your_password

    • name: “Proxy B”
      type: vmess
      server: server_b.example.com
      port: 8080
      uuid: your_uuid
      alterId: 64
      cipher: auto
      “`

  • proxy-groups:

    • Groups proxies together, allowing you to select a group instead of an individual proxy.
    • Each group has a name, type, and a list of proxies (referencing the names defined in the proxies section).

    • The type determines the behavior of the group.

    • select: Allows you to manually choose a proxy from the group in the Clash for Windows interface.

      yaml
      proxy-groups:
      - name: "My Select Group"
      type: select
      proxies:
      - Proxy A
      - Proxy B

    • url-test: Automatically selects the fastest proxy based on a periodic URL test. Requires a url (the URL to test) and an interval (how often to test, in seconds).

      yaml
      proxy-groups:
      - name: "Auto Fastest"
      type: url-test
      proxies:
      - Proxy A
      - Proxy B
      url: http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204
      interval: 300

    • fallback: Tries proxies in the order they are listed until one connects successfully. Useful for failover.

      yaml
      proxy-groups:
      - name: "Fallback Group"
      type: fallback
      proxies:
      - Proxy A
      - Proxy B
      interval: 300

    • load-balance: Distributes traffic across the listed proxies. Various strategies are available (e.g., consistent-hashing, round-robin).

      yaml
      proxy-groups:
      - name: "Load Balance Group"
      type: load-balance
      proxies:
      - Proxy A
      - Proxy B
      strategy: consistent-hashing

  • rules:

    • Defines how traffic is routed. Each rule consists of a matching criterion and a target (a proxy group or DIRECT for direct connection).

    • Rules are evaluated in the order they are listed. The first matching rule determines the routing.

    • Domain-based rules:

      • DOMAIN: Matches an exact domain name.
      • DOMAIN-SUFFIX: Matches a domain and all its subdomains.
      • DOMAIN-KEYWORD: Matches if the domain name contains a specific keyword.

      yaml
      rules:
      - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,google.com,Proxy Group
      - DOMAIN-KEYWORD,facebook,Proxy Group
      - DOMAIN,example.com,DIRECT

    • IP-based rules:

      • IP-CIDR: Matches an IP address or a range of IP addresses using CIDR notation.
      • GEOIP: Matches based on the geographic location of the IP address (requires a GeoIP database).

      yaml
      rules:
      - IP-CIDR,192.168.1.0/24,DIRECT
      - GEOIP,CN,Proxy Group # Route traffic from China through the proxy group

    • Other rule types:

      • MATCH: The default rule, placed at the end. If no other rule matches, the MATCH rule is used.
      • PROCESS-NAME: Matches based on process name(Only works in TUN Mode).

      yaml
      rules:
      - PROCESS-NAME,chrome.exe,Proxy Group
      - MATCH,DIRECT
      * Rule-set:
      – RULE-SET: You can utilize rule-set for a large amount of rules.

      yaml
      rule-providers:
      reject:
      type: http
      behavior: domain
      url: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Loyalsoldier/clash-rules@release/reject.txt"
      path: ./ruleset/reject.yaml
      interval: 86400
      rules:
      - RULE-SET,reject,REJECT

  • Understanding Rule Precedence: Rules are evaluated from top to bottom. The first rule that matches the traffic determines the routing. The MATCH rule is typically placed at the end as a catch-all.

6. Advanced Configuration

  • DNS Configuration:

    • Local DNS Resolution vs. Remote DNS Resolution:

      • Local DNS Resolution: Your computer uses your local DNS server (usually your router or ISP’s DNS server) to resolve domain names. This can lead to DNS leaks, where your DNS requests are visible to your ISP.
      • Remote DNS Resolution: Clash sends DNS requests through the proxy server, resolving them remotely. This enhances privacy.

    • Configuring DNS Servers (Fallback, Fake-IP):

      yaml
      dns:
      enable: true
      ipv6: false
      listen: 0.0.0.0:53
      enhanced-mode: fake-ip # or 'redir-host'
      fake-ip-range: 198.18.0.1/16
      nameserver:
      - 1.1.1.1 # Cloudflare DNS
      - 8.8.8.8 # Google DNS
      fallback:
      - https://dns.alidns.com/dns-query # Fallback DNS, using DoH
      fallback-filter:
      geoip: true
      ipcidr:
      - 240.0.0.0/4
      * enable: Enables Clash’s built-in DNS server.
      * ipv6: Enables IPv6 DNS resolution (optional).
      * listen: The address and port Clash’s DNS server listens on.
      * enhanced-mode:
      * redir-host: Traditional host mapping, suitable for most cases.
      * fake-ip: Returns fake IP addresses for domains, improving compatibility with some applications and enabling features like DNS hijacking.
      * fake-ip-range: The range of fake IP addresses to use (if enhanced-mode is fake-ip).
      * nameserver: The primary DNS servers to use.
      * fallback: DNS servers to use if the primary servers fail or if the request matches the fallback-filter.
      * fallback-filter: Filters for using fallback DNS servers. geoip: true uses fallback for non-Chinese IP addresses.

    • DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT): You can use DoH or DoT for your nameserver and fallback entries to encrypt DNS requests. Use the https:// prefix for DoH and the IP address with port 853 for DoT.

      yaml
      nameserver:
      - https://1.1.1.1/dns-query # Cloudflare DoH
      - 1.0.0.1:853 # Cloudflare DoT
      * Enhanced DNS Features:
      – You can customize host mapping.
      yaml
      hosts:
      '*.clash.dev': 127.0.0.1
      'alpha.clash.dev': '::1'

  • TUN Mode Deep Dive:

    • Understanding TUN Mode and its Benefits: TUN mode creates a virtual network interface, capturing all network traffic from your system. This ensures that all applications, even those that ignore system proxy settings, are routed through Clash.

    • Configuring TUN Mode (Including Stack, DNS settings):

      1. Enable TUN Mode: In the “Settings” tab, enable “TUN Mode”.
      2. Install TAP Device: If prompted, install the TAP-Windows adapter. This creates the virtual network interface.

      3. Configure config.yaml
        yaml
        tun:
        enable: true
        stack: system # or 'gvisor'
        dns-hijack:
        - 1.1.1.1:53
        auto-route: true
        auto-detect-interface: true

        • enable: Enables TUN mode.
        • stack:
          • system: Uses the system’s network stack. Generally more compatible but might have slightly higher overhead.
          • gvisor: Uses a user-space network stack (gVisor). Potentially faster but might have compatibility issues with some applications.
        • dns-hijack: Hijacks DNS requests to specified servers.
        • auto-route: Enables automatically setting up routing rules for TUN device.
        • auto-detect-interface: Automatically use default gateway for the TUN device.

      4. Restart Clash for Windows: After making changes to the TUN configuration, restart Clash for Windows for the changes to take effect.

    • Troubleshooting TUN Mode Issues:
