FAQ
Which client to pick, how to import a subscription, why TUN fails, and how to confirm a download source.
Basics
What is Clash Meta?
It usually refers to a family of profile formats and the client ecosystem around Meta features. Check each project’s own notes for core and client details.
How are Mihomo and Clash different?
Mihomo is the common open-source core name today; it started as Clash Meta. Clash refers to the original project that stopped receiving updates, or is used loosely for this kind of tool.
Sources
Is this the official Clash Meta website?
No. Clash Meta and Mihomo have no single official site. Each client has its own repository or website; this site only collects those entries and explains how to verify them.
Does this site host installers?
No. It organizes information and links to official GitHub Releases, official websites, or project documentation.
How can I verify a download source?
Check whether the repository owner, domain, and release record point at each other. Do not trust a “latest” label, and treat mirrors and file shares as unofficial.
Clients
Which client should I choose?
Start with the device: Clash Light for Windows, Clash Verge Rev for macOS and Linux, FlClash for Android. Then decide whether you need a publicly verifiable release history on GitHub.
Which client should I use on Windows?
Clash Light is the current pick, with its download entry and version notes on clashlight.org. Switch to Clash Verge Rev if you want one workflow across all three desktop platforms.
Which client should I use on Android?
FlClash is the current pick. Enter its release page from the official site and check the domain before installing the APK.
Installation
Which build should I use on an Apple Silicon Mac?
Choose the Apple Silicon (arm64) build; Intel Macs need the x64 build. The wrong build still runs through Rosetta, but slower and less reliably.
What if the client will not start?
Check in order: installer source and architecture, a leftover process, port conflicts, profile format, then the log.
Network
What is TUN mode?
It lets the client capture traffic that bypasses the system proxy, which matters for games, terminal commands, and containers. It needs extra permissions, so verify the system proxy first.
Usage
What if subscription import fails?
Identify which failure it is: expired URL, truncated link, unsupported format, or unreachable source. The client log usually names it directly.
