Clod ClashQuick start
From installing to the first connection in five minutes
Clod Clash connects your phone to a VPN service using a subscription link. Your VPN service (provider) gives you the link — in your customer portal, a bot or an email. From it the app downloads the servers, rules, remaining traffic and expiry date by itself; you type nothing in by hand.
Five steps
Install the app. Download the APK from the download page and install it — details in Install.
Add the subscription. Subscriptions tab → Add subscription → paste the link →
Add subscription. Or open a clodclash://install-config?url=… link from your provider's portal and
save the subscription with the button in the header. Details in Adding a subscription.
Pick the apps for the VPN. More → Apps. Right after installation no app goes through the tunnel until you check it (unless your provider sent its own list or turned on the “Allow all apps” mode). Check the ones that need the VPN — see Basic setup.
Connect. Tap the big button on the home screen and allow the VPN in the system dialog. The button turns green and a session timer starts inside it.
Make the connection stable. After the first connection the app offers once to lift the battery restriction and turn on always-on VPN — accept, otherwise Android may put the tunnel to sleep in the background.
