## Get Connected in Three Steps

From installation to a confirmed connection usually takes under ten minutes, with no command-line experience required.

1. **[Download](/en-us/download) and install the client** — Grab the installer for your version from the download page, run it, and complete the first launch.
2. **Import your subscription** — Paste the subscription URL from your provider into the `Profiles` page; nodes and rules load automatically. See the [tutorial](/en-us/tutorial).
3. **Enable the proxy and verify** — Pick a low-latency node, turn on `System proxy`, and open any page to confirm. Start with the [FAQ](/en-us/faq) if something goes wrong.

## About This Site

Clash for Windows was discontinued in 2023 and its original repository was deleted. This site curates its historical releases, setup guides, and Clash-family knowledge for users who still run it.

* **Still on CFW?** The [tutorial](/en-us/tutorial) and [troubleshooting guides](/en-us/faq) still apply; config formats are covered in the [Wiki](/en-us/wiki/Shadowsocks).
* **Ready to migrate?** Subscription URLs are universal—migrate to the actively maintained [Clash Light](https://clashlight.org/). Steps in the [migration guide](/en-us/migration).
* **Download notice**: Verify the source and checksum of any third-party file yourself; this site does not guarantee file safety.
