ClashX Common Issues & Solutions
Connection failed? Cannot update subscription? Here are the most common issues and fixes.
Native development, perfectly fits macOS design language. Supports Apple Silicon, delivering unparalleled performance and stability. Making network connections simple again.
Help macOS users use ClashX safely, transparently, and with control—not just download it.
Pain points we saw: newcomers fear bad subscription links; macOS upgrades (e.g., Sequoia) may break compatibility; menu bar tools are seen as “black boxes” or privacy risks; rules/TUN feel complex; long-running apps raise battery/perf concerns; developers need Git/terminal/CI connectivity. We provide auditable open-source builds, structured guides and troubleshooting, fully local YAML validation/rule generation, and clear boundaries on risk and compliance.
Our approach: (1) Official GitHub downloads and checksum steps to avoid tampered builds; (2) step-by-step visuals for dashboard/TUN/rules/subscriptions covering concepts, steps, and verification; (3) local-only tools to protect privacy; (4) performance/battery tips with measurable checks; (5) common error codes and log samples for self-diagnosis; (6) dev tips for Git/Homebrew/terminal/CI proxy; (7) curated rulesets and one-click add to reduce trial-and-error. We aim to shorten the distance from “it connects” to “I can safely run it long-term.”
