Clash Setup Guide: Subscription Import, Smart Routing & Ad-Blocking

/ blog / By

If Shadowrocket is the go-to for iOS, Clash is the workhorse for Android / Windows / Mac. It’s YAML-based with powerful rule support. This guide covers importing your subscription, smart routing and ad-blocking, step by step.

1. Pick the right client

The Clash ecosystem now centers on the Clash Meta (mihomo) core (the original Clash Premium is archived):

  • Windows / Mac: Clash Verge Rev (friendly UI, good for beginners).
  • Android: Clash Meta for Android.
  • iOS: Stash / Shadowrocket (Clash-core wrappers on iOS).

2. Import your subscription (the crucial first step)

Clash pulls its nodes and config from a subscription link — that’s the prerequisite for everything:

  1. Open the client → “Profiles” → “New / Import”.
  2. Paste your subscription link (URL) → download.
  3. Select and enable that profile.

Most clients also support a one-tap import deep link (tap the link to import directly), easier than pasting.

3. Smart routing (rules)

Routing goes under rules: in the config, matched top-down, first hit wins. The core is just two rules:

rules:
  - GEOIP,CN,DIRECT      # domestic IPs connect directly
  - MATCH,PROXY          # everything else via proxy (Clash's fallback is MATCH, not FINAL)

Add as needed:

  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,netflix.com,PROXY   # streaming via proxy
  - IP-CIDR,192.168.0.0/16,DIRECT      # LAN direct

4. Ad-blocking (rule-providers)

Clash blocks ads in bulk via rule-providers (remote rule sets); 神机 and 墨鱼 both have Clash ad-blocking sets. Reference a set in the config and REJECT on hit:

rule-providers:
  ads:
    type: http
    behavior: domain
    url: "ad-blocking rule set URL"
    path: ./ruleset/ads.yaml
    interval: 86400
rules:
  - RULE-SET,ads,REJECT     # block ad rule set first, at the top

5. Settings that trip people up

  • Mode must be “Rule” — “Global” sends everything through the proxy, “Direct” nothing; either way your routing rules stop working (same idea as Shadowrocket’s “Config” routing).
  • Enable TUN mode so all app traffic (not just the browser) follows the rules — especially needed on PC.
  • Enable DNS protection to avoid DNS pollution breaking the domestic/overseas split.

6. Your rules still need a working subscription

Clash is just a client — it decides “how to route”, but what gets you online is the subscription (nodes). An unstable subscription means even great rules run on nothing.

If you don’t have a stable subscription yet, SSRocket provides a mainland-reachable subscription link + one-tap import: after payment your config is emailed automatically — one tap imports it into Clash, and with the rules above you’re good to go.

FAQ

  • Imported the subscription but no traffic? Check the mode is “Rule” and, on PC, that TUN / system proxy is on.
  • Domestic sites slow / routed through the proxy? Make sure GEOIP,CN,DIRECT is active — domestic traffic is fastest going direct.
  • Ad-blocking incomplete? Add an ad-blocking rule set (rule-providers) at the top of your rules.
