Introduction to Clash Verge Rev

As we move into 2026, Clash Verge Rev has solidified its position as the premier cross-platform GUI for the Mihomo (Clash Meta) core. Built with Tauri, it offers a lightweight, modern interface that surpasses its predecessors in both performance and security. Whether you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux, the experience remains consistent, providing a unified way to manage your network traffic.

The "Rev" in its name stands for Revision, signifying its evolution from the original Clash Verge project. It supports advanced features like Hysteria2, TUIC, and VLESS, making it a versatile tool for anyone needing reliable proxy management. In this guide, we will walk through the core operations that every user needs to master to get the most out of this powerful software.

ℹ Pro Tip: Ensure you have downloaded the latest version from our official download page to benefit from the latest security patches and core updates.

How to Import Your Subscription

The first step after installation is getting your proxy nodes into the application. This is typically done via a Subscription URL provided by your service provider.

Steps to Import:

  1. Launch Clash Verge Rev and navigate to the Profiles tab on the left sidebar.
  2. Copy your subscription URL from your provider's dashboard.
  3. In Clash Verge Rev, paste the URL into the input box at the top of the Profiles page.
  4. Click the Import button. The application will fetch the configuration file and display it in the list below.
  5. Right-click the newly imported profile and select Use to activate it.

Once activated, the profile card will show a colored indicator (usually blue or cyan) to signify it is currently driving your proxy rules. If the import fails, verify that your internet connection is active and that the URL is correct.

    port: 443
    cipher: chacha20-ietf-poly1305
    password: "yourpassword"

Switching Nodes and Latency Testing

After activating a profile, you need to select which node to use. Navigate to the Proxies tab. Here you will see various Proxy Groups defined by your subscription provider (e.g., Global, Select, Auto).

To switch nodes, simply click on the group name to expand it and select a different node from the list. It is highly recommended to perform a Latency Test (often represented by a lightning bolt or "Speed Test" icon) before choosing. This sends a small packet to each node to measure the response time in milliseconds (ms).

Note: Lower latency generally means a faster connection, but for streaming or large downloads, stability is more important than a raw low ping.

If you find that a node is no longer working, Clash Verge Rev makes it easy to quickly scan all available nodes in a group to find a functional alternative. The "Auto" group often uses a url-test strategy to automatically pick the fastest node for you.

Enabling System Proxy and TUN Mode

Importing nodes is not enough; you must tell your operating system to route traffic through Clash. This is done via the Settings or Dashboard tab.

System Proxy

Toggle the System Proxy switch to "On". This configures your OS settings so that browsers and most applications automatically use Clash. You will see the Clash icon in your system tray change color or show an active status.

TUN Mode

For applications that do not honor system proxy settings (like some games or CLI tools), you should use TUN Mode.

⚠ Important: TUN Mode requires administrator privileges. If prompted by your OS, click "Allow" or "Yes" to grant the necessary permissions for network adapter modification.

Advanced Configuration and UI Customization

Clash Verge Rev is highly customizable. In the Settings menu, you can adjust the Mixed Port (default is 7890), which allows both HTTP and SOCKS5 traffic. You can also change the Theme to match your OS (Dark/Light mode) and adjust the Language settings.

For advanced users, the Scripting feature allows you to modify incoming subscription configurations on the fly. This is useful for adding custom rules or renaming nodes without manually editing the YAML file every time it updates.

Common Troubleshooting Steps

If you encounter issues where the internet is not working after enabling the proxy, try the following:

  1. Check Node Connectivity: Go to Proxies and ensure the selected node shows a valid latency.
  2. Restart Core: In the bottom status bar, click the core version to restart the Mihomo process.
  3. Verify System Time: Ensure your computer's time is synchronized. TLS handshakes will fail if the time offset is too large.
  4. Check Port Conflicts: Ensure no other software is using port 7890.
⚠ Compliance Notice: Please comply with local laws and regulations and the terms of service of all platforms and providers.

Conclusion

Clash Verge Rev is a robust and user-friendly tool that brings the power of the Mihomo core to a modern interface.
