Security, Privacy & Compliance

Direct answer

Clash is a network tool, not a legal exemption. Use it only in ways that comply with local law, workplace or school policy, platform terms and the subscription provider agreement.

What to check first

Proxy tools do not remove legal, security or privacy responsibilities. Protect subscription URLs, avoid unknown nodes and follow the rules of the network and jurisdiction you are using.

  • Keep subscription URLs, tokens and node details private.
  • Avoid unknown free nodes for sensitive accounts.
  • Remove private domains and identifiers before sharing logs.
  • Follow local law, workplace policy and provider terms.

Recommended handling

Use the conservative path: protect private URLs, avoid unknown nodes for sensitive accounts, and follow the rules of the network and jurisdiction you are using.

Practical notes

  • Remove URLs, tokens, node names and private domains before sharing screenshots or logs.
  • Change one setting at a time so the result is attributable.
  • Use logs and timestamps when asking for provider or community support.
