Guide 03 · Windows

On a Windows PC,
set the rules once and you're done.

We recommend Clash Verge Rev, which is free. It uses our Clash profile, which already includes the rules that let mainland sites go direct and two line groups, one for China Mobile / Unicom and one for China Telecom. Import it, pick a line and you're ready. v2rayN and Hiddify work too.

Part 2 · Walkthrough

Clash Verge Rev: 6 steps

We'll use Clash Verge Rev as the example. The pictures are diagrams, and the real screens vary a little by app version. If you get stuck, note the step number and send it to our support team; that's the fastest way to get help.

  1. 1

    Step 1 of 6

    Download and install Clash Verge Rev

    Go to the official GitHub download page. On most PCs, download Clash.Verge_2.5.8_x64-setup.exe; on PCs with an ARM processor, download Clash.Verge_2.5.8_arm64-setup.exe. Run it and follow the installer.

    If you're comfortable with the command line, you can also type winget install ClashVergeRev.ClashVergeRev in Terminal.

    Tip

    If the main window won't open after installing, Windows is usually missing WebView2. Download Clash.Verge_2.5.8_x64_fixed_webview2-setup.exe instead and install again.

    Note

    Clash Verge Rev doesn't support Windows 7. Please use Windows 10 or 11.

    Step 2 of 6

    Import your subscription in one click

    First, sign in to VPNKING. You'll have a subscription once you buy a plan or start the free trial.

    Click Clash Verge Rev in the import box on this page. When your browser asks whether to open the app, choose to open it. Clash Verge Rev imports the profile right away, with no extra confirmation window.

    On a fresh install, the imported profile becomes the active profile automatically.

    Tip

    If nothing happens, another Clash app you installed earlier may have taken over clash:// links. Paste the link by hand in the next step instead.

    One-click import

    Import your subscription into an app

    Example

    Choose the app you installed

    • 1.Clash Verge RevSign in first

      Also works with other Clash apps such as Clash Party

    • 2.HiddifySign in first
    • 3.v2rayNSign in first

    When you're signed in with an active subscription, a QR code shows up here so you can scan it on another device.

    Sign in and your own subscription link shows up here.Sign-up, checkout and the member dashboard are in Traditional Chinese for now.

  3. 3

    Step 3 of 6

    Paste the subscription link by hand

    In the import box, click Copy link, open Clash Verge Rev and click Profiles in the left sidebar.

    Paste the link into the Profile URL field at the top (or click Paste), then click Import.

    After importing, if the subscription card below isn't selected, click it once to make it the active profile.

    Tip

    If the import fails, you'll see Failed to import profile, and the app automatically tries again through the Clash proxy. If it still fails, check in your dashboard that your plan is active.

    Whether you need to click the subscription card yourself depends on the version and on whether it's a fresh install. Go by what you see in the app.

    Step 4 of 6

    Use Rule mode

    On the Proxies page, choose Rule at the top (it picks the proxy automatically according to the rules). You won't normally need Global or Direct.

    Our profile already includes rules that let mainland China sites go direct. In Rule mode, mainland sites connect directly and everything else goes through the VPN.

    Step 5 of 6

    Turn on the system proxy

    Go to Settings → System Setting and turn on System Proxy. Your browser and most other programs then go through the VPN.

    For games or programs that ignore the system proxy, turn on Tun Mode instead (the app notes that it needs Service Mode or running as administrator).

  6. 6

    Step 6 of 6

    Choose a line

    On the Proxies page, expand the Taiwan VPN group (its name ends in VPN). On China Mobile or China Unicom, choose the China Mobile / Unicom group, the first option: it tries Line 1 first and the app picks a line that connects. On China Telecom, choose the China Telecom group, the second option, which tries Line 2 first.

    Click Delay check to compare the lines. To stick with one line, click its name directly.

Part 3 · Lines

Which line should I use?

Every subscription includes three lines: Line 1, Line 1 (Backup) and Line 2. Pick one based on your mobile carrier, and if it isn't working well, switch to another. There's no need to set anything up again.

  • 1

    China Mobile or China Unicom

    Recommended line
    Line 1
    In Clash apps
    China Mobile / Unicom group
    In other apps
    Line 1

    If Line 1 won't connect, try Line 1 (Backup) first, then Line 2.

  • 2

    China Telecom

    Recommended line
    Line 2

    If Line 2 isn't working well, try Line 1.

    Recommended line
    Switch to Line 1
    In Clash apps
    China Mobile / Unicom group
    In other apps
    Line 1

    Some local networks restrict Line 2. When that happens, Line 1 is the most stable choice.

  • 4

    Not sure of your carrier

    Recommended line
    Start with Line 1
    In Clash apps
    China Mobile / Unicom group
    In other apps
    Line 1

    In Clash apps, the China Mobile / Unicom group tries the lines in order (Line 1 → Line 1 (Backup) → Line 2) and uses one that connects.

The three lines in your subscription

  • Line 1

    First choice on China Mobile and China Unicom

  • Line 1 (Backup)

    Use it when Line 1 won't connect

  • Line 2

    First choice on China Telecom

Apps show these names in Chinese. Each one starts with VPNKING, and they're listed in the order above.

The Taiwan VPN group in Clash apps

  • China Mobile / Unicom group · China Mobile, China Unicom

    The app tries these in order and uses one that connects: Line 1 → Line 1 (Backup) → Line 2

  • China Telecom group · China Telecom

    The app tries these in order and uses one that connects: Line 2 → Line 1 → Line 1 (Backup)

These names are in Chinese too. The main group's name ends in VPN; inside it, the China Mobile / Unicom group comes first and the China Telecom group second.

  • In Clash Verge Rev you pick a group: inside the Taiwan VPN group, choose the China Mobile / Unicom group or the China Telecom group, and the app picks a line that connects within it.
  • In v2rayN and Hiddify you pick a line directly: Line 1, Line 1 (Backup) or Line 2.

Part 4 · Alternatives

Setting up the other apps

The same subscription link works in other apps too. Here are the short versions; the import buttons are in the one-click import box above.

v2rayN (free, paste the link by hand)

  1. 1Download v2rayN-windows-64.zip, unzip it and run v2rayN from the folder.
  2. 2In the import box, click Copy link. In v2rayN, go to Subscription Group → Subscription group settings → Add, enter VPNKING as the remarks, paste the subscription link as the URL and click Confirm.
  3. 3Go to Subscription Group → Update subscriptions without proxy. When you see Got subscription content successfully, the import is done.
  4. 4To let mainland sites go direct: in the main window's Routing menu, pick the rule set whose name ends in (Whitelist). You can also adjust it under Settings → Routing Setting.
  5. 5Go to System proxy → Set system proxy, then select the line you want to use. Test real delay lets you compare the lines.

v2rayN has no one-click import and doesn't show data usage or the expiry date. The rule set's name is partly in Chinese even in the English interface. How you make a line active depends on the app.

Hiddify (free)

  1. 1Download Hiddify-Windows-Setup-x64.exe and install it.
  2. 2Click Hiddify in the import box on this page to import in one click. Or go to the Profiles page, click Add profile and choose Clipboard.
  3. 3In Settings, under Service mode: VPN needs the app to run as administrator. If you don't want to use administrator rights, choose Set system proxy.
  4. 4Go to Settings → Routing → Region, choose China (cn), then go back to the home screen and click Tap to connect.

If you choose VPN mode without administrator rights, you'll see: VPN mode requires administrator privileges. Either relaunch the app as administrator or change service mode.

Part 5 · FAQ

Windows FAQ

  • The app won't open or keeps crashing after I install it.

    There are two common causes. Antivirus software such as 360 or Kingsoft Antivirus may have blocked the service mode install (per the official FAQ), so uninstall or turn off that kind of antivirus software. Or Windows is missing WebView2; in that case install Clash.Verge_2.5.8_x64_fixed_webview2-setup.exe instead.

  • Nothing happens when I click the import button.

    Another Clash app you installed earlier may have taken over clash:// links. The official docs explain how to fix it in the registry (see the official links below), or you can paste the link by hand, which works just as well.

  • Only my browser works through the VPN, not my other programs.

    System Proxy only works for programs that follow the system proxy setting. For games and other programs, turn on Tun Mode, which needs Service Mode or running as administrator.

  • Can v2rayN import in one click?

    No. v2rayN doesn't register a link for one-click import. Click Copy link and add the subscription by hand, following the v2rayN steps above.

  • Hiddify fails to start in VPN mode.

    VPN mode needs administrator rights. Reopen Hiddify as administrator, or go to Settings and change Service mode to Set system proxy.

  • Does it work on Windows 7?

    Clash Verge Rev doesn't officially support Windows 7. We suggest upgrading to Windows 10 or 11.

For questions that apply to every platform (number of devices, the early-morning reconnect, expired subscriptions), see thesetup guide overview.
