Mihomo is the actively maintained core, Clash Meta is a former name for it, and the original Clash stopped on a separate release line. Understand the names first, then decide whether an old configuration can be migrated.Scenario insightsSharing Clash Verge Rev on a LAN: Allow LAN and Firewall Settings
