One of the most powerful features of Clash Verge Rev is its ability to act as a centralized gateway for your entire household or office. Instead of installing proxy clients on every single device—which can be tedious for smart TVs, gaming consoles, or older smartphones—you can simply enable the "Allow LAN" feature. This transforms your Windows PC into a local proxy server, allowing any device on the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network to route its traffic through your optimized Clash nodes.

In this 2026 updated guide, we will walk through the exact steps to configure Allow LAN in Clash Verge Rev, find your local IP address, adjust Windows Firewall settings, and successfully connect external devices. Whether you are trying to access global streaming services on a PlayStation or bypass regional restrictions on a tablet, this "Proxy Sharing" method is the most efficient solution available.

What is Allow LAN and Why Use It?

By default, Clash Verge Rev only handles traffic for the machine it is installed on. When you enable "System Proxy," it modifies the local Windows registry. However, the Mihomo core is capable of listening on all network interfaces, not just the local loopback (127.0.0.1). When you toggle Allow LAN, you are telling Clash to open its ports (usually 7890 or 7897) to the entire local area network.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Smart TVs & Apple TV: Many TV operating systems have limited support for third-party proxy apps. By sharing your PC's connection, you can unlock 4K content effortlessly.
  • Gaming Consoles: Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox do not support Clash directly. Sharing the LAN proxy helps reduce NAT type issues and accelerates game downloads.
  • Development & Testing: If you are a mobile developer, you can route your physical test device's traffic through Clash to debug API calls or simulate different geographic locations.
  • Resource Efficiency: You only need to maintain one set of rules and one active subscription on a high-performance PC, rather than managing multiple mobile apps.

Prerequisites for Proxy Sharing

Before toggling switches, ensure your environment is ready for network-level sharing:

  • Same Network: Both the host (PC running Clash) and the client (Phone/TV) must be connected to the same router. Guest Wi-Fi networks often have "AP Isolation" enabled, which will block this feature.
  • Clash Verge Rev Installed: Ensure you are using the latest version of Clash Verge Rev (Mihomo Core). You can download it from our official download page.
  • Active Profile: You must have a working subscription with active nodes. If your PC can't browse the global web, your shared devices won't be able to either.
  • Static Local IP (Recommended): Routers often change your PC's local IP (e.g., from 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.10). Setting a static IP in Windows ensures your client devices don't lose the connection after a reboot.

Security Warning: Only enable Allow LAN on trusted private networks. If you enable this on public Wi-Fi (like a coffee shop), other users on that network could potentially discover your proxy port and consume your subscription data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Enabling Allow LAN

Follow these steps to set up the host computer correctly. The interface in 2026 is streamlined, but the core logic remains consistent with the Mihomo engine.

1

Enable Allow LAN — Open Clash Verge Rev, click on Settings in the left sidebar. Locate the Allow LAN toggle under the "Clash Core" or "General" section and switch it to ON.

2

Set the Port — Note the HTTP Port (usually 7890 or 7897). You can change this, but the default is recommended for compatibility. Ensure "Mixed Port" is enabled if you want both HTTP and SOCKS5 on the same port.

3

Configure Authentication (Optional) — For added security, you can set a username and password. However, for home use on a TV or console, leaving it blank is easier for setup.

Finding Your Local IP Address

To tell your phone where the proxy is, you need the host PC's local IP address. This is not your public IP shown on Google, but your internal network address.

Open the Command Prompt (cmd) on your Windows PC and type the following command:

ipconfig

Look for the IPv4 Address under your active connection (usually "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi" or "Ethernet adapter"). It will look like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x. Write this down; you will need it for the client device.

Crucial: Adjusting Windows Firewall

Even if Allow LAN is toggled on, Windows Firewall often blocks incoming connections from other devices for security. If your phone cannot connect, this is the most likely culprit.

  • Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall.
  • Click "Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall".
  • Find Clash Verge or Mihomo Core in the list.
  • Ensure both Private and Public checkboxes are ticked.
  • If it's not in the list, click "Allow another app" and browse to the clash-verge.exe or the core binary in your installation folder.

Pro Tip: If you are using third-party antivirus software (like Norton or McAfee), they have their own firewalls that may override Windows settings. You may need to add a "Port Exception" for 7890 in their respective dashboards.

Configuring Client Devices (Phone/TV/Console)

Now that the host is ready, you need to point your other devices to it. The process is similar across platforms.

On iOS or Android

  1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the (i) icon or long-press your connected network.
  3. Look for HTTP Proxy or Proxy Settings. Change it from "None" to "Manual".
  4. In the Server/Host field, enter your PC's local IP (e.g., 192.168.1.5).
  5. In the Port field, enter 7890 (or your custom port).
  6. Save the settings. Open your mobile browser and visit a site to verify the connection.

On Gaming Consoles (PS5/Switch)

During the network setup (Manual Setup), you will reach a screen asking for Proxy Server settings. Select "Use" and enter the same IP and Port details. This is especially helpful for downloading large game updates via a high-speed proxy node.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you've followed the steps but the internet is not working on the client device, check the following:

  • Clash Core Crash: Check the "Logs" in Clash Verge Rev. If you see "bind: address already in use," another app is using port 7890. Change the port in Settings.
  • Network Profile: Ensure your Windows network is set to "Private" rather than "Public." Windows applies stricter stealth rules to public profiles.
  • DNS Issues: If you can connect but pages won't load, try setting the client device's DNS manually to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.
  • Virtual Machine Conflict: If you have VMware or VirtualBox installed, ipconfig might show multiple IPv4 addresses. Ensure you pick the one associated with your physical Wi-Fi adapter.

FAQ

Does the PC need to stay awake?

Yes. Since the PC is acting as the server, if it goes to sleep or shuts down, the client devices will lose internet access. You can adjust your power settings to "Never Sleep" while sharing the connection.

Can I share the proxy with a device in another house?

No. Allow LAN only works within your local router's range. For remote sharing, you would need complex VPN tunneling or DDNS with port forwarding, which is not recommended due to security risks.

Will this slow down my PC?

The impact is minimal for standard web browsing. However, if you are streaming 4K video on multiple TVs through the PC, you might notice increased CPU usage by the Mihomo core and higher network latency on the host machine.
