Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clash Windows Guide the official site?
Clash Windows Guide is a resource and guide site for Clash for Windows. It is not the original development team's official site. This site organizes download entry points, setup tutorials, protocol notes, FAQs, and subscription service reviews.
What do I need before using Clash for Windows?
You usually need three things:
- A Windows computer
- A Clash for Windows installer
- A remote subscription URL or local config file
If you only install the client without a subscription URL or config file, no usable node list will usually appear.
What is a subscription URL?
A subscription URL is a config link provided by a service provider. After importing it into Clash for Windows, the client downloads nodes, groups, and routing rules. Keep your subscription URL private and do not share it publicly.
How do I choose a service for Clash for Windows?
Compare protocol support, pricing, node regions, usability, plan rules, support response, and refund policy. The Services page lists some providers, and sponsored links are disclosed where practical.
Is Clash for Windows still worth using?
If you are familiar with its interface and configuration model, Clash for Windows can still be useful as a Windows GUI client. Since the original project is no longer actively maintained, long-term users should also watch for alternative clients and security updates.
