Terms of Use

Last updated: August 2026

These Terms of Use apply to access to and use of the Clash Help Center website, including its pages, articles, download links, and configuration guides. Please read the following rules before using this site. By accessing the site, reviewing its materials, or following links to other pages, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to be bound by these terms. If you disagree with any part of them, stop using the site.

1. Content Scope and Applicability

This site provides reference materials for Clash clients, related open-source cores, and configuration methods. It mainly organizes software download sources, installation steps, configuration fields, rule-based traffic routing concepts, and solutions to common problems. The information provided here does not constitute legal, cybersecurity, business, or other professional advice, and no tutorial is guaranteed to suit every device, network environment, or software version.

Different clients may use different cores, interfaces, and configuration syntax. Menu names, field examples, and operation paths in our articles reflect what could be verified when the content was published. Actual interfaces may change after software upgrades, project migrations, or operating-system updates. Before applying any configuration, users should verify the current client name, version information, system architecture, and configuration-file hierarchy, and keep necessary backups.

This site is not the developer or operator of any related open-source project, nor does it represent any client, core, subscription service, or app store. References to project names on this site are used only to identify software, explain technical relationships, and help locate problems.

2. Lawful Use Requirements

Users must comply with the laws and regulations, network-management requirements, service agreements, and organizational policies applicable where they are located and where the service is actually used. The content on this site may be used only for lawful learning, research, software configuration, and network troubleshooting. It must not be used to infiltrate another person’s system, bypass access controls without authorization, disrupt network services, distribute unlawful content, violate another person’s privacy or intellectual property rights, or for any other unlawful purpose.

Users must confirm that they are authorized to operate the relevant devices, network accounts, configuration files, and subscription URLs. Without authorization from the device owner, network administrator, or service provider, users must not change proxy settings, import configurations, expose control ports, or handle other people’s traffic. For corporate networks, public devices, or shared environments, obtain explicit permission first and follow the applicable security procedures.

If a feature, rule, or configuration is restricted in the applicable jurisdiction, users must stop the related operation. Explanations of technical concepts on this site do not authorize any particular use case and do not replace the user’s own responsibility to assess compliance.

3. Software Sources and Liability

The software, cores, and related components introduced on this site are provided by their respective open-source projects, developers, or software distribution platforms. We may organize public download links or provide download navigation, but we do not develop, sign, publish, operate, maintain, or provide technical support for the software concerned. Whether software can be installed, launched, connected, or continue providing service depends on the project’s status, operating system, device permissions, network conditions, and upstream services.

To the extent permitted by law, this site makes no warranty that its content will always be accurate, complete, current, or fit for a particular purpose. We are not responsible for software interruptions, failed configurations, subscription problems, compatibility issues, device failures, or changes to third-party services. Users who install software, modify system proxies, enable TUN, change DNS settings, import rules, or run commands assume responsibility for overwritten configurations, connection interruptions, data loss, and any other direct or indirect loss resulting from those actions.

Before starting a high-risk operation, back up the original configuration and record restorable system settings. If the result differs from the tutorial, stop making repeated changes and troubleshoot in this order: subscription, rules, policy groups, system proxy, and DNS. To review the basic workflow, see the Getting Started guide.

4. Intellectual Property and Content Use

The names, marks, source code, documentation, and other project materials of Clash, Mihomo, and the various clients belong to their respective rights holders and are governed separately by their applicable open-source licenses, trademark rules, or release terms. This site references those names and configuration snippets to explain compatibility, operating methods, and technical concepts; such references do not grant ownership of or exclusive authorization to any related project.

When downloading, copying, modifying, or distributing open-source software, users should review the license supplied with the relevant project and fulfill any applicable obligations, such as retaining copyright notices, publishing modifications, or providing source code. Different projects may use different licenses, and the terms for one project should not be applied directly to another.

The article structure, Chinese explanations, and page content organized by this site are protected by applicable law. Personal learning may include quotations within a reasonable scope, provided the source is credited. Without permission, users may not reproduce this site’s content in bulk, republish it after removing source information, or use the site name or page design in a way that could misleadingly suggest an official relationship.

5. External Links and Changes to These Terms

This site may link to open-source project pages, app stores, official software websites, or other third-party pages. External pages are managed independently by their respective operators, and their content, privacy policies, download requirements, and availability are outside our control. Before following an external link, users should verify the domain, page operator, platform notices, and authorization scope, then decide for themselves whether to proceed.

We may revise these Terms of Use in response to changes in laws and regulations, site functionality, content scope, or open-source projects. The updated text will be published on this page, and the last-updated date at the top will be changed. Unless required by law, we will not provide individual notice. Continued use of this site after an update means that you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with the update, stop accessing and using the site.

If you have questions about the meaning of these terms, tutorial steps, or configuration boundaries, first review the operating instructions in the Getting Started guide. Feedback should focus on the specific page, client name, operating system, and troubleshooting step involved. Do not submit subscription URLs, account information, or other sensitive data.
