FlClash is a proxy client that helps you manage and configure proxy connections on your device. It does not provide proxy IPs itself, so you'll need to get proxy details from a provider like IPcook before setting it up. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to add a proxy to FlClash, configure the connection, and verify that your proxy is working correctly.

Install FlClash Before Proxy Setup

Before adding a proxy to FlClash, you need to download and install the FlClash client on your device. FlClash supports multiple platforms, including Windows, Android, iOS, and Linux.

Follow the steps below to install FlClash:

Go to the FlClash GitHub Releases page to download the latest version.
Download FlClash for your operating system.

After downloading the correct package, install FlClash on your device and open the application.

Prepare Your Proxy Information

Then you need to prepare the required proxy information from your proxy provider. Depending on the format provided by your provider, you can either import a Clash-compatible subscription URL directly or use a YAML configuration file, either provided directly or created with your proxy credentials.

The subscription URL method is a convenient way to add proxy configurations with fewer manual steps. If you need more control over your setup, you can create a YAML file to customize your proxy settings based on your requirements.

For manual proxy configuration, you may need the following details:

Server / Host:
example.proxy.com

Port:
8000

Username:
your_username

Password:
your_password

Protocol:
HTTP / SOCKS5

If you don't have a proxy yet, you'll need to choose a proxy provider like IPcook that provides the required proxy credentials for FlClash configuration.

IPcook offers residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies with HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 support, giving you flexible options for different use cases. It provides complete proxy details, including host, port, username, and password, so you can easily create a FlClash-compatible YAML configuration. With a simple setup process, IPcook helps you quickly prepare the information needed to configure proxies in FlClash.

Method 1: Configure a Proxy in FlClash Using a YAML File

The following steps use IPcook as an example to demonstrate how to obtain proxy credentials, convert them into a Clash-compatible YAML configuration, and import the configuration into FlClash.

👀Tips:

If you already have a Clash-compatible YAML file, you can skip the configuration steps below and go directly to Step 5 to import it into FlClash.

Step 1. For first-time users, click Start for Free. Existing users can click Log in in the upper-right corner. Create an account with your email or Google account, then verify your email through the confirmation link.

Click the Login Button on the IPcook Homepage

Step 2. Once you log in, you can choose from residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies. In this guide, we will use ISP proxies as an example. Navigate to ISP in the left menu. Under Plan Pricing, select your preferred location, number of IPs, and subscription period. Review the Order Summary on the right, then click Buy Now to purchase.

Step 3. Navigate to My Proxy, select the proxy you want to configure, and choose your preferred export format. Then click Download to receive your proxy credentials in a TXT file.

Step 4. Open a text editor (such as Notepad, VS Code, or TextEdit). Convert your proxy credentials into a Clash-compatible YAML configuration file using the template below. Then, save the file as a YAML configuration file (for example, IPcook-ISP.yaml) on your device.

# Replace the placeholder values with your proxy credentials.

mixed-port: 7890
allow-lan: false
mode: rule
log-level: info

proxies:
  - name: "IPcook Proxy"

# Replace YOUR_PROXY_TYPE with http or socks5

    type: YOUR_PROXY_TYPE 
    server: YOUR_PROXY_HOST
    port: YOUR_PROXY_PORT
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

proxy-groups:
  - name: PROXY
    type: select
    proxies:
      - "IPcook Proxy"
      - DIRECT

rules:
  - MATCH, PROXY

Step 5. Open FlClash. Go to Profiles, click the + button, and import the YAML file you created.

Step 6. After importing the configuration, tap the 📄 document-shaped icon in FlClash to open the server list and confirm that the IPcook ISP proxy node has been added. Select a proxy node, then return to the Home Dashboard and enable System Proxy to route supported applications through FlClash based on your proxy rules.

Method 2: Set Up FlClash Using a Proxy Subscription URL

If you have a Clash-compatible subscription URL, you can import it directly into FlClash to load and update proxy nodes.

Steps to import a subscription URL:

Open FlClash and go to the Profiles section. Tap the + button, then select URL.

Paste your subscription URL into the URL field.
Tap Submit to import the configuration.
After setup, follow Step 6 in Method 1 to verify that the proxy connection is working correctly.

Final Verdict

FlClash provides a flexible way to manage proxy connections. When adding a proxy, you can choose between a subscription URL and a YAML configuration based on your preferred setup method. A subscription URL simplifies the setup process, while YAML configuration gives you more control over your proxy settings.

To connect FlClash with a proxy, you need a reliable proxy source that provides suitable connection options. IPcook delivers flexible proxy solutions, including Residential Proxies, ISP Proxies, and Datacenter Proxies. All solutions support HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols, with global IP coverage and stable connections for different proxy requirements. This makes it a practical choice for users who need stable, flexible, and globally distributed proxy solutions for various applications.
