Choose the client

Clash is strong for rules and multiple subscriptions; V2RayN and Nekoray are direct choices for V2Ray/Xray nodes.

Import subscriptions

Use a subscription URL when possible, refresh it in the client, and test nodes before relying on them.

Fix routing issues

Temporarily switch to global mode. If global mode works, the problem is likely rule or DNS related.

Steps

  1. Choose Clash for rules or V2RayN/Nekoray for direct node imports.
  2. Paste the subscription URL into the subscription manager.
  3. Refresh and run a latency test.
  4. Test global mode first, then move back to rule mode.

Checklist

  • The subscription URL is reachable.
  • System time and certificate validation are correct.
  • System proxy, TUN, or VPN mode is enabled.
  • DNS is not controlled by another app or browser setting.

Troubleshooting

Subscription refresh fails

Check URL access, avoid proxy loops, and retry from another network.

Rule mode breaks some sites

Use global mode to confirm the node works, then adjust rules or DNS.

Connected but no traffic

Check system proxy, route mode, and node parameters.

FAQ

Should I choose Clash or V2RayN?

Choose Clash for rule-based routing and many nodes. Choose V2RayN when you only need a direct V2Ray/Xray client.

What is the difference between global and rule mode?

Global mode sends most traffic through the proxy. Rule mode decides by domain or IP rules.

Why can subscriptions fail to refresh?

The link may be incomplete, blocked, expired, or caught in a proxy loop.
