Step 05Enable the proxy

Open Settings and enable System Proxy. Once the switch turns purple, apps that respect the system proxy will send requests through Clash Verge.

Windows may show a firewall prompt the first time the client runs. After verifying the installer source, allow access for the network types you use.

Step 06Understand proxy modes

Clash Verge provides four main proxy modes:

  • Rule: routes each request according to the profile rules.
  • Global: sends every request through the proxy server.
  • Direct: connects every request directly without a proxy.
  • Script: routes requests according to script logic.

Global mode also proxies traffic that could connect directly, which can slow local services and consume plan data. Rule mode normally preserves direct access where appropriate, so it is the better default unless you have a specific reason to use another mode.

Verify the Connection Before Troubleshooting

Take a minute to confirm the connection after completing the guide. If it still fails, open the FAQ that matches the symptom.

  • Confirm the profile is active
  • Test the selected node
  • Check the matched rule
