ClashX Meta Subscription Import and Proxy Setup on Mac

Copy a Clash/Mihomo subscription URL from your provider, then return to ClashX Meta to import it. This guide uses 畅连 as an example.

Click the ClashX Meta menu-bar icon and choose Config → Remote Config → Manage.

Click Add in the managed profiles window.

Paste the subscription URL into the URL field, enter a recognizable name in Config Name, and confirm.

Open the ClashX Meta menu-bar menu and select the profile you just added under Config.

Open the proxy menu to view the available nodes and their latency, then select the node that best fits your needs.

Click the ClashX Meta menu-bar icon and choose Set as System Proxy. Apps that follow the macOS system proxy will now send traffic through ClashX Meta.

The system proxy only covers apps that use that setting. The client then applies the active mode and rules, which may send a request directly, through a proxy, or reject it.

These modes control requests that reach the client. Switching modes does not make apps outside its coverage use the proxy.

ClashX Meta provides three common outbound modes: Rule, Global, and Direct.

• Rule: follows the profile rules, sending matched requests through the proxy while handling the rest as direct or blocked traffic.
• Global: requests handled by the client use the strategy selected in the global group instead of matching individual rules. Selecting DIRECT still makes them connect directly.
• Direct: connects every request without a proxy and is useful when comparing the local network.

Use Rule for everyday browsing. Switch to Global or Direct temporarily only when troubleshooting or when you specifically need that behavior.
