ClashFX is independent from Clash and mihomo. It is a local client only — no nodes or subscriptions are sold.

When to choose ClashFX

  • You need system-wide TUN for terminals, games, and apps that ignore system proxy
  • You want a core that keeps up with modern protocols
  • You prefer in-app editing, subscription management, and diagnostics
  • You may upgrade to Pro for a desktop-grade dashboard (still in development)
