Clash for Windows

Clash for Windows is a desktop GUI client application built on the Clash core proxy engine, providing a user-friendly interface for managing and routing network connections through customizable rule sets and multiple proxy protocols. It targets advanced users who need fine-grained control of how traffic is routed on Windows systems, enabling scenarios like split-tunneling, region-based routing, and domain-specific proxy selection. Using Clash’s rule syntax and support for diverse inbound and outbound protocols (including SOCKS5, Shadowsocks, V2Ray, and others), this client lets users define when to route traffic through a proxy or bypass it entirely, making it useful for privacy, latency optimization, testing, and censorship circumvention. The application typically includes tools to import subscription URLs, live traffic statistics, log views, and configuration editors, reducing the complexity of managing text-based YAML configs manually.
