This is our most-asked question, so here is the short version: it is not that we will not host it — there is no maintained version of the original Clash left to host.
The original Clash repository (Dreamacro/clash) was archived by its author in November 2023, and Clash Premium and Clash for Windows stopped updating around the same time. Almost everything advertised today as "official Clash" is an old build repackaged by a third party: no security fixes, and no compatibility with newer subscription formats.
The community carried the core forward as Mihomo, known earlier as Clash.Meta. It is fully compatible with the original Clash config syntax while adding TUN, protocol sniffing, more protocols and rule-set support. When people say "the Clash core" today, this is what they mean.
Clash Verge (Clash Verge Rev) runs on Mihomo and ships native installers for Windows, macOS and Linux. Subscriptions, rules and routing all behave exactly the way you know them from Clash. Put plainly: if you are looking for "Clash for desktop", the answer today is Clash Verge.
As long as your provider gives you a standard Clash or Clash.Meta subscription, paste it straight into Clash Verge. Nodes, groups and rules all carry over intact.
What it does well
Nothing flashy. It just gets the fundamentals of a proxy client right.
Local sites go direct, everything else takes a node. One ruleset decides, so you stop toggling things by hand.
Flip one switch and even apps that ignore system proxy settings — CLI tools, game launchers — get routed.
Paste the link once. Node changes sync on their own, on whatever interval you set.
Keep separate configs for work, home and travel. One click to switch, no cross-contamination.
Test every node at once; url-test groups keep picking the fastest one for you.
Menus, settings and error messages are all plain language, with full localisation.
Four steps
Clash Verge ships with no nodes of its own. It only reads a config and forwards traffic. You supply the subscription — self-hosted or from a provider, either works.

FAQ
Not the same software, but the same lineage. The original Clash core was archived at the end of 2023 and is no longer maintained. Clash Verge runs on Mihomo (formerly Clash.Meta), the community continuation, which keeps the same config syntax and subscription format while adding more capability.
Almost every Windows PC — anything with an Intel or AMD processor — takes x64, which is the first item on our download page. Only ARM-based Windows devices such as Snapdragon X machines need ARM64. Check Settings → System → About and read the "System type" line.
Clash Verge is only the client; it ships with no nodes. You supply the subscription yourself, either from a config you generate on your own server or from a provider. We link one on the download page that takes Alipay and gives you trial data on signup, so you can test before paying.
No. For ordinary browsing the system proxy is enough. Turn TUN on when you need apps that ignore the system proxy — some games, command-line tools, Docker — to be routed as well. Enabling it needs one administrator prompt to install the virtual adapter driver.
