Clash V2Ray Subscription Import

Import V2Ray subscription links into Clash, refresh providers, test nodes, switch rule or global mode, and fix DNS or routing failures.

Get free test nodes

Direct Answer

In Clash, add the V2Ray subscription as a provider or profile, refresh it, test latency, then use global mode first to confirm the nodes work before rule mode.

Use the right import field

A subscription URL is not the same as a single node. Paste it into the subscription or provider area.

Test before rules

Global mode is useful for the first test. If global works but rules fail, focus on DNS and rule configuration.

Keep backup nodes

Free subscriptions change often, so keep more than one route and refresh before troubleshooting deeply.

Steps

Copy the complete subscription URL.
Add it to Clash as a subscription or provider.
Refresh and run a latency test.
Switch to global mode for the first real webpage test.

Checklist

Subscription URL returns profile content.
Clash supports the provided node format.
Global mode and rule mode are tested separately.
DNS settings do not conflict with the route.

Troubleshooting

Subscription refresh fails

Open the URL in a browser, check for proxy loops, and retry from another network.

Nodes import but all time out

Refresh later, switch network, or compare with a VPN trial route.

Only some sites fail

Review rules and DNS before replacing all nodes.

FAQ

Can every V2Ray subscription work in Clash?

No. The subscription must provide or convert to a format Clash supports.

Why should I test global mode first?

It removes rule complexity and helps confirm whether the node itself works.

Why does DNS break rule mode?

Rule mode depends on domain and DNS behavior. Conflicting DNS settings can route traffic incorrectly.
