Why Use Allow LAN in Clash Verge Rev?

In a typical home or office network, only the device running the proxy client enjoys unrestricted access. However, many devices—such as gaming consoles (Nintendo Switch, PS5), smart TVs, or older tablets—either don't support proxy clients or are difficult to configure. By using the Allow LAN feature in Clash Verge Rev, your Windows PC acts as a proxy gateway. Any device on the same Wi-Fi or local network can route its traffic through your PC's Clash core.

This is particularly useful for 2026 workflows where multi-device synchronization is key. Whether you are downloading large game updates on a console or streaming geo-blocked content on an Apple TV, sharing the connection from a powerful Windows machine is often more stable and faster than running individual apps on every small device.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Preparation Checklist:

Clash Verge Rev Installed: Ensure you are using the latest version (v1.6.x or later recommended).
Active Subscription: Your PC must already have a working proxy config and be able to access the internet.
Same Network: Both the Windows PC and the target devices must be connected to the same router (same subnet).

Step 1: Enabling Allow LAN in the Interface

The first step is to tell Clash Verge Rev to listen for incoming connections from other devices on your network. By default, for security reasons, Clash only listens to connections from the PC itself (localhost).

Open Clash Verge Rev on your Windows machine.
Click on the Settings tab in the left sidebar.
Locate the Clash Settings section (usually near the top).
Find the toggle labeled Allow LAN and switch it to ON.
Note the Mixed Port number (default is usually 7890 or 7897). You will need this later.

Tip: Port Selection

If you have other software using port 7890, you can change the Mixed Port in the same settings menu. Just remember to use the new number on your other devices.

Step 2: Finding Your Windows PC's Local IP Address

To connect other devices to your PC, they need to know your PC's "address" on the local network. This is different from your public IP address.

On your Windows PC:

Press Win + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
In the black window, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Look for IPv4 Address under your active network adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). It usually looks like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x.
Write this number down (e.g., 192.168.1.50).

Step 3: Configuring Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall is the most common reason why Allow LAN fails. Even if the setting is "On" in Clash, Windows might block incoming traffic from the network.

Critical Security Note

Only allow access on Private networks. Never enable these firewall exceptions on Public Wi-Fi (like at a coffee shop) as it could allow strangers to use your proxy or probe your PC.

To fix this:

Search for "Allow an app through Windows Firewall" in the Start menu.
Click Change settings (requires Admin).
Find Clash Verge or clash-meta.exe in the list.
Ensure both Private and Public (if needed) checkboxes are checked.
If it's not in the list, click Allow another app... and browse to the Clash Verge Rev installation folder to add the core executable.

Step 4: Configuring Other Devices (Phone/TV)

Now that the server (your PC) is ready, you need to configure the client (your phone or TV).

On iOS or Android:

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Tap the "i" or arrow next to your connected Wi-Fi network.
Find HTTP Proxy (usually at the bottom) and set it to Manual.
Server/Host: Enter your PC's IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.1.50).
Port: Enter the Mixed Port from Clash Verge Rev (e.g., 7890).
Save the settings.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your phone still can't connect, check these common pitfalls:

Network Profile: Ensure your Windows network is set to "Private" in Windows Settings > Network & Internet.
Antivirus: Third-party antivirus (like Avast or Kaspersky) has its own firewall that ignores Windows settings. Disable it temporarily to test.
AP Isolation: Some routers have a feature called "AP Isolation" or "Guest Mode" which prevents wireless devices from talking to each other. Disable this in your router settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Allow LAN affect my PC's gaming latency?

Yes, slightly. If your phone is downloading a large file through your PC, it will consume your PC's CPU and network bandwidth, which might increase ping in competitive games. It is best to turn off Allow LAN when not in use.

Can I share the TUN mode connection?

Yes, but it's more complex. For most users, using the HTTP Proxy method described above is the most reliable way. If you need a "transparent" proxy for a TV, consider using a dedicated router with OpenClash.

Summary

Enable "Allow LAN" in Clash Verge Rev Settings.
Identify your PC's local IP address using ipconfig.
Verify Windows Firewall allows incoming connections for Clash.
Manually set the HTTP Proxy on your mobile device to your PC's IP and port.

Setting up a proxy for every single device in your home can be a nightmare of configuration and maintenance. While many people struggle with individual apps on their phones or smart TVs, using a centralized Windows gateway via Clash Verge Rev is the most efficient way to manage your network. Many competing tools are either too complex for casual users or lack the robust firewall handling that Verge Rev provides.

If you're tired of slow speeds on your mobile devices or apps that refuse to work with built-in VPNs, the stability of a PC-based proxy is unmatched. This setup ensures that your most powerful hardware handles the encryption, providing a smoother experience for your entire household.
