Introduction & Problem Categories
As a powerful прокси-инструмент, ClashX may encounter various issues during daily use. These issues can be broadly categorized as follows:
This guide will explain diagnostic methods and solutions for each type of issue, helping you quickly restore normal operation.
Before troubleshooting, it рекомендуется to check: Is ClashX running, is the сеть connection normal, and are the application proxy settings correct. These three points solve most problems.
Connection Issues Troubleshooting
Connection issues are the most common ClashX failures. This section explains how to diagnose and resolve these problems.
Issue 1: Cannot Connect / Proxy Not Working
Симптомы
- Applications cannot access the internet
- Connection timeout errors
- ClashX is running but has no effect
Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1: Check ClashX Running Status
# 在终端中检查是否有 ClashX 进程
ps aux | grep clash
# 输出示例:
# xxx /Applications/ClashX.app/Contents/MacOS/ClashX
Step 2: Verify System Proxy Settings
Open System Settings → Сеть → Wi-Fi/Ethernet → Details → Proxies
Ensure the following settings are correct:
- Web Proxy (HTTP): 127.0.0.1:7890
- Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS): 127.0.0.1:7890
- SOCKS Proxy: 127.0.0.1:7891
Step 3: Test Сеть Connection
# 检查 ClashX 是否正常监听端口
lsof -i :7890
lsof -i :7891
# 测试代理连接
curl -x http://127.0.0.1:7890 http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204
• Брандмауэр blocking ClashX
• Proxy port occupied by other applications
• No available nodes in подписка
• macOS version incompatibility
Issue 2: Тайм-аут подключения
Симптомы
- Connection normal but response slow
- Large file downloads failing
- Some websites cannot load
Решение
Increase Тайм-аут подключения
# 编辑 config.yaml,在通用设置中添加:
protocol: TLS1.2
# TCP 连接超时(秒)
connect-timeout: 5
# 读取超时(秒)
read-timeout: 5
# 如果仍然超时,尝试增加到:
connect-timeout: 10
read-timeout: 10
Timeout adjustments should be gradual, starting from default values, increasing by 1-2 seconds each time until the problem is resolved. Excessively high timeouts will affect overall производительность.
Issue 3: Intermittent Connection Drops
Симптомы
- Connection randomly drops during use
- Need to restart ClashX to recover
- Particularly unstable during certain times
Решение
- Update Nodes: Manually update ссылка подписки, remove unstable nodes
- Switch Протокол: Try different протокол проксиs (SS, Trojan, VMess)
- Check Router: Restart сеть devices, check connection stability
- Enable Keep-Alive: Enable TCP Keep-Alive in configuration
Enable Keep-Alive Configuration
proxies:
- name: "稳定节点"
type: ss
server: example.com
port: 443
cipher: aes-256-gcm
password: "password"
udp: true
# 启用 Keep-Alive
keep-alive: true
Режим TUN Issues
режим TUN is a system-level proxy that does not require separate configuration for each application. However, it can also cause issues.
Issue 1: Режим TUN Cannot Be Включено
Common Errors
| Error Code | Cause | Решение |
|---|---|---|
| Permission Denied | Insufficient permissions | Use administrator account or grant permissions |
| Device Not Found | TUN device initialization failed | Restart ClashX or system |
| Port Already in Use | Port already in use | Change port or close occupying application |
| Stack Error | Протокол stack conflict | Try switching to gvisor or system |
Troubleshooting Steps
Check User Permissions
# 检查当前用户是否为管理员
id
# 查看 ClashX 权限
ls -la /Applications/ClashX.app/Contents/MacOS/ClashX
Решения
- Ensure using administrator account
- Grant TUN permissions in ClashX settings
- Try using gvisor протокол stack (more stable)
- Check for conflicts with other VPN software
Issue 2: No Сеть After Enabling Режим TUN
Симптомы
- Completely no сеть after enabling режим TUN
- Local IP address displays abnormally
- DNS resolution failed
Quick Recovery
Disable Режим TUN in Терминал
# 强制禁用 TUN
defaults write com.west2online.ClashX tun-enabled -bool false
# 重启 ClashX
killall ClashX
Configuration Fix
Correct TUN Configuration Example
tun:
enable: true
stack: gvisor # 推荐 gvisor
dns-hijack:
- any:53 # 劫持所有 DNS 查询
auto-route: true # 自动设置路由
auto-detect-interface: true
# DNS 配置
dns:
enable: true
listen: 127.0.0.1:53
enhanced-mode: fake-ip
nameserver:
- 119.29.29.29
- 223.5.5.5
Issue 3: Режим TUN Affecting Other Applications
Симптомы
- Some apps (like iMessage, Apple Music) cannot function normally
- Local services (like MySQL, Redis) connection failed
- VoIP apps have no audio
Решение
Create Bypass Rules
# 在 config.yaml 中配置
tun:
enable: true
stack: gvisor
dns-hijack:
- any:53
auto-route: true
auto-detect-interface: true
# 流量过滤 - 不走 TUN 的应用
include-apps:
- com.apple.dt.Xcode
- com.docker.docker
# 不走 TUN 的网络接口
exclude-interfaces:
- en1
- en2
Подписка Link Issues
Подписка links are an important way to configure ClashX. Common подписка issues include import failures and nodes not displaying.
Issue 1: Подписка Import Failed
Симптомы
- No response after pasting link
- Displays "Invalid URL"
- Configuration file empty after import
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify Подписка Link Format
# 检查链接是否有效
curl -I "https://example.com/subscribe"
# 验证返回的内容类型
curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" "https://example.com/subscribe"
Common Causes & Solutions
| Issue | Check Method | Решение |
|---|---|---|
| Link expired | Check provider notifications | Update to new link |
| URL contains special characters | Check for spaces or symbols | URL encode or use quotes |
| Сеть cannot access | Open link in browser | Check сеть or use proxy |
| Format incompatible | View returned content | Convert to YAML format |
Issue 2: Подписка Update Failed
Симптомы
- No response when clicking update button
- Displays "Update failed"
- Nodes remain old list
Решение
Manual Resubscribe
- Delete existing подписка
- Clear файл конфигурации
- Re-import ссылка подписки
- Wait for download to complete
Set auto-update interval in ClashX settings. Usually recommended to update every 6 hours, avoid frequent updates.
Issue 3: Nodes Not Displayed in Подписка
Симптомы
- Подписка imported but no available nodes
- proxy-groups is empty
- Rules cannot match
Check Process
Check Configuration File Content
# 打开配置文件
open ~/.config/clash/config.yaml
# 检查以下内容:
# 1. proxies 部分是否有节点
# 2. proxy-groups 是否正确
# 3. rules 是否完整
Common Reasons
- Подписка link format incompatible with ClashX
- Node information incomplete or format error
- Proxy протокол version not supported
- YAML syntax error
Ensure the format provided by the подписка provider is ClashX compatible. Some providers may require specific User-Agent or port numbers.
