Step 06Review the outbound mode

ClashX Meta provides three common outbound modes: Rule, Global, and Direct.

  • Rule: follows the profile rules, sending matched requests through the proxy while handling the rest as direct or blocked traffic.
  • Global: sends every request through the selected proxy node and is useful for short connection tests.
  • Direct: connects every request without a proxy and is useful when comparing the local network.

Use Rule for everyday browsing. Switch to Global or Direct temporarily only when troubleshooting or when you specifically need that behavior.

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
