👍Clash Verge (Recommended)

Updated: May 1, 2025

This app is the recommended app for Windows.

If you are running an old Windows 7 computer, please use Clash for Windows instead.

Clash Verge version 2.2.3 and up (April 2025 release).

Clash Verge version 2.2.3 and up supports all major protocols, and works with all our servers. It also supports the TUN engine for capturing packets, and provides support for the Windows app store via UWP. This means it can run games without needing additional software.

STEP 1: Download and install Clash Verge

Version: v2.2.3

Install the Application

1. Double-click the .exe file.

App Icon

The app icon is a cat in a purple circle.

You will find the app in the tray at the bottom right corner of the screen.

STEP 2: Import your config

Copy the API

1. Login to your dashboard

2. Select "Clash Verge" in the dropdown for Windows

3. Click "Copy API"

Different API types:

• Simple API: One proxy group, easy to set up, suitable for basic use. Recommended for new users.

• Split-tunneling API: Supports multiple proxy groups and service-based routing for advanced control.

• Subconverter API: A technical tool for advanced users to convert and customize subscription configs across different formats (Clash, Surge, etc.). [Only if you know what it is]

Paste the API

1. Open Clash by double-clicking on the app icon in the tray on the bottom right corner of your screen (purple cat icon)

2. Go to "Profiles" (left-hand menu)

3. Paste the API in the "Profile URL" box and click "IMPORT"

Your server list has now been downloaded to the app.

STEP 3: Select a server and connect

OPTION 1: Simple API

Recommended setup for new users

If you see a different setup that the screenshots, check that you got the correct config API from our website

1. Go to "Home" (left-hand menu)

2. Under "Current Node" select a server from the list (see image below)

3. Under "Network Settings" toggle on "System Proxy"

OPTION 2: Split-tunneling API - decide which server each site will go through

Setup for advanced users

If you don't need split-tunneling, we recommend sticking to the Simple API setup above

1. Go to "Home" (left-hand menu)

2. Under "Current Node" select "Wannaflix" as the group

3. Then, select a server from the list (see image below)

4. Under "Network Settings" toggle on "System Proxy"

What are modes?

Rule - Recommended. Choose this option if you are in China. Websites go to different servers based on pre-configured rule sets.

Global - All websites go through one Wannaflix server. Can cause Chinese sites to malfunction. Only choose this option if you are NOT in China.

Direct - Don't enable. (Disables the VPN).

NOTE: If you are using the SIMPLE API, Rule mode does split tunneling for Chinese and foreign sites automatically (Chinese sites connect directly, not through the VPN, and overseas sites go through the VPN).

Configure split tunneling (Optional)

1. Click the “Proxies” tab in the left sidebar

2. Under Proxy Groups :

   • You'll see a list of different groups(like Wannaflix, 🍎 Apple, or 📺 Netflix)

3. Click on the group name (e.g., 📺 Netflix)

4. Select the desired server from the list (e.g., 🇯🇵 Japan, 🇸🇬 Singapore, etc.)

5. That service will now go through your selected server.

You are now connected.

How to disconnect

Toggle the "System Proxy" switch again

Make sure to turn the "System Proxy" switch OFF before quiting the app or you won't have any internet if you do so (i.e. it doubles as a kill-switch).

To fix it, restart the app and turn the "System Proxy" switch OFF and then quit the app.

END OF SETUP

FYI [IMPORTANT READ]

If you want to play games with Clash or have all apps go through Clash, you need to use TUN Mode instead of System Proxy

1. Go to the "Home" tab

2. Under "Network Settings", disable "System Proxy"

3. Select "TUN Mode", and toggle on

When TUN mode is enabled, there is no need to enable system proxy.

Windows Store apps

Windows Store apps do not go through the VPN by default, even when TUN is enabled.

• You need to force them by using the UWP Loopback Helper.

1. Go to the "Settings" tab

2. Click "Open UWP tool"

3. If there's a popup click "YES"

4. Select all the apps you want to force through the VPN

5. Click "Save Changes"

Enable Start with Windows

If you want Clash to automatically start when you boot your computer, you need to enable this option.

1. Go to the "Settings" tab

2. Toggle the "Auto Launch" switch

Kill all connections when changing server

By default, old connections will not be redirected to the new server but will continue going to the old server until they timeout.

This creates problems when you're switching servers to watch Netflix or if you need a specific IP address as the websites you've just visited will still be going through the old server.

To kill all connections (and therefore forcibly reconnect via the new server), do this:

1. Go to "Connections" tab

2. Click "CLOSE ALL"

FAQ

How can I update the server list?

Go to profiles, and click on the refresh icon next to the profile you want to update.

How can I play games with Clash for Windows?

You need to use Tun Mode (see above), and connect to a server that supports UDP.

Spotify/OneDrive/Other app doesn't work

Windows Store apps don't go through Clash by default. You need to force them to go through by using the UWP Loopback Helper (see above).

If it still doesn't work, try to run it in Tun Mode (see above).

Netflix/other website is using another server to connect instead of the one I selected.

You have probably selected "Rule" mode and the Netflix website is being redirected to another server based on the Netflix rule set. Select the server you want under "Netflix" in the server list.
