Beginner Setup Flow

First-time users only need these four steps. Confirm the connection first, then compare clients, routers or DNS/TUN troubleshooting.

1. Download a Client

Choose the Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iOS app that matches your device and system version.

  • Desktop users can start with Clash Verge Rev or FlClash
  • iOS users usually use Shadowrocket, Quantumult X or Stash
Go to download center

2. Prepare the Subscription URL

Use the subscription URL or one-click import entry from your provider to create the remote profile.

  • Copy the complete private subscription link
  • Confirm the plan is active and supports your client

3. Import and Update the Profile

Paste the URL in Profiles, Configurations, Subscription Management or Remote Config, save it and update once manually.

  • Confirm nodes after import
  • If nodes are empty, check format and plan status first
Import steps

4. Select a Node and Enable Proxy

After choosing a node or policy group, turn on system proxy, VPN or TUN. Beginners should test normal browsing in Rule mode first.

  • Test the browser before advanced features
  • Then handle app proxy, DNS or TUN

Continue by Scenario

After the basic connection works, jump to the topic that matches the current issue. These are routing paths, not another beginner checklist.

Step-by-Step Client Tutorials

Each tutorial follows the real client UI for subscription import, profile updates, node selection, proxy enablement and common mode choices.

Get subscription

Copy the subscription URL from your provider. The tutorials use URL subscription import by default; start from the subscription page if you do not have one yet.

Import profile

Paste the URL into the client’s Config, Profiles or Subscription entry, then save and update the profile.

Enable proxy

Select a node or policy group, enable system proxy, VPN or the connection switch, then test network access.

Proxy modes

Understand Rule, Global, Proxy and Script modes, then choose the routing mode that matches the scenario.
