Clash FAQ Answers Find and Fix Issues

Confused about Clash, Mihomo, and clients, or where to get nodes after installation? Understand how cores, clients, and subscriptions relate before choosing what to download.

Does the download fail to open, is installation blocked, or are you unsure the package is trustworthy? Check the download source and system architecture, then your device's installation restrictions.

Does a subscription fail to import or update, or are nodes missing after import? Use the specific message to check the subscription link, configuration format, and YAML errors.

Do nodes keep timing out, does the connection drop, or can you update subscriptions but not browse? Check node status, system time, and your current network one by one.

Is the system proxy on but apps bypass it, or does the internet stop working after you exit the client? Check the current mode, proxy port, and each app's proxy settings.

Does a site connect directly when it should use a proxy, even after you change the rules? Check the rule actually matched, the selected policy group, and rule-set update status.

Can you connect to a node but not open some sites, or has a DNS leak been detected? Check domain resolution results, where DNS requests go, and the current resolution mode.

Does TUN fail to start, repeatedly request permissions, or leave you offline? Decide whether you need TUN, then check permissions, DNS, routes, and conflicts with other tools.

Do logs keep reporting errors, but you cannot tell whether the configuration, client, or network is at fault? Start with the first failure, then choose a suitable log level to reproduce the issue.

Concerned that subscription links or logs may expose information, or unsure whether a client's requested permissions are necessary? Check sensitive fields, control-interface access, and permission scope.

Unsure which client to choose for a new device, or has your previous project stopped receiving updates? Compare clients and compatible tools by system, maintenance status, and how you plan to use them.

Can LAN devices not connect to the proxy, is a NAS unreachable, or are game and voice connections failing? Check listening addresses, ports, routes, and UDP support for your deployment.
