Tutorial
New to FlClash? No need to panic. Follow the steps below - import a subscription, flip the switch, choose a node - and you are basically done.
Import a Subscription
A subscription link is the "node list" your proxy provider gives you. The first time you use FlClash, you need to get this list in. Either of the two ways below works:
Way 1: Just Tap the Link (Recommended)
Open the subscription link from your provider in a browser or chat app. A pop-up usually appears asking whether to open it with FlClash - say yes and the nodes will be added automatically.
- Copy the subscription link from your provider's site
- Open it in your browser
- Choose "Open with FlClash" when asked
- The node list imports itself
Way 2: Copy and Paste Manually
If that approach fails, import it by hand inside the app:
- Open FlClash and go to "Configuration"
- Tap "Add Configuration"
- Pick "URL Import" as the type
- Paste the subscription link
- Tap "OK" and wait for it to download
Flip the Switch and Get Online
After the subscription is ready, go back to the home screen. There is a big switch on the page - tap it and the proxy turns on:
- Go back to the FlClash home screen
- Find the proxy switch (it is usually quite noticeable)
- When it shows "Connected", the proxy is working
- Open Google, YouTube or GitHub to check
π‘ Note: The first time you enable the proxy, Android will ask for VPN permission and macOS/Linux may want your password. Allow it - this is normal.
How to Choose a Node
Choosing nodes in FlClash is flexible, depending on what you need:
Let the App Decide
"Auto Select" is the default: FlClash picks low-latency nodes for you. For most people the default is enough.
Pick a Specific Region Yourself
Want to stay on Hong Kong, Japan or US nodes? Do this:
- Tap the "Proxy" tab
- Find the region in the list (nodes are grouped by country)
- Tap the node you want and it switches right away
Not Sure Which One? Run a Speed Test
Compare them with the built-in test first:
- Tap the "Speed Test" button (lightning icon) at the top right of the proxy page
- Wait for it to finish - latency for every node shows up
- Choose the node with the lowest latency
A Few Useful Small Settings
Launch at Startup
Don't want to open the app manually every time you boot? Turn on auto-start:
- Enter FlClash "Settings"
- Turn on the "Launch at Startup" switch
- It will run on its own from now on
System Proxy
Once the system proxy is enabled, FlClash takes over all network requests and splits them automatically:
- Find "System Proxy" in Settings
- Select "Rule Mode" if you can
- Local sites connect directly and foreign sites use the proxy - neither slows down
Routing Rules
FlClash uses the ClashMeta engine, and its built-in default rules are already quite complete. For daily use you rarely need to touch them; only dive in when you have special needs.
