Common Clash Setup Problems

When importing a subscription, choosing a node, enabling the system proxy, or configuring DNS and TUN, check these items first.

Install a client that supports your device, then import a Clash-format subscription URL. Once the node list appears, configure policy groups, the system proxy, DNS, and TUN as needed.
