Clash downloads and installers

When migrating an existing config, first confirm the subscription updates successfully, then check whether your overrides and extensions still apply. Service mode requires system permissions; enabling it doesn’t ensure every app follows the right rules. Check connection logs to see where traffic is routed.

You can reuse a subscription across devices, but system proxy settings, startup behavior, and TUN permissions need to be configured separately. Don’t copy the entire desktop app folder to your phone. Migrate your subscription or config file instead, then check platform-specific settings.

When migrating, check which core is in use and whether it supports your config fields. Similar-looking interfaces don’t guarantee identical overrides, config paths, or shortcuts. Start with a minimal config, establish a connection, then restore your rules and custom settings gradually.

The older core may not support newer protocols, rule syntax, or system changes. If your subscription won’t parse, don’t keep reinstalling the same archived build. Save your config and test it with a maintained client instead. After migrating, check your local ports and system proxy settings.

This build requires Rosetta on Apple Silicon; the compatibility download is not a native ARM64 build. If your device policy doesn’t allow translation, choose a client above that offers a native build. When migrating overrides, check each field against the core’s compatibility.

The current build requires Rosetta on Apple Silicon. After installing, check that the app launches before importing your config. If you can’t connect, check your subscription, proxy mode, and system permissions separately. Background settings vary by platform; pay particular attention to reconnecting after sleep.

Use this to reproduce an existing setup or compare configurations before migrating. After a macOS upgrade, legacy helper components and permission workflows may no longer work. For new installations, choose a maintained client. Before migrating, note custom rules, proxy ports, and subscription sources so you don’t lose config by copying only the app.

After importing your subscription, confirm the config loaded before starting the connection. If another VPN app is running, check which one Android currently allows to route traffic. Per-app routing and rule-based routing are separate settings; test each instead of relying on the status icon to confirm that all traffic is routed as expected.

After switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi, test the selected node again and check the logs for DNS and connection errors. If only one app is affected, check its routing and matching rules first. Changing DNS globally or reinstalling repeatedly usually won’t identify an app-specific issue.

Surfboard’s config format differs from Clash YAML; changing the file extension alone won’t make it importable. Before choosing Surfboard, confirm your subscription provider offers a compatible format and check protocol support. If you only have a Clash config, use one of the compatible clients above to avoid rule differences caused by conversion.

Before installing, check your distribution architecture and runtime library requirements. If the app won’t launch, check package manager or terminal output for missing dependencies before deciding what to do next. Dependency issues are different from subscription problems. System tray support also depends on your desktop environment, so check how the app runs in the background and exits.
