iOS clients must be purchased from the US App Store. The following provides a complete tutorial on registering and configuring a US Apple ID.
Clash-like apps for iOS are only available in the US App Store, requiring a US Apple account to purchase. The following method is completely free, takes about 10 minutes, and can be used long-term after registration.

Openappleid.apple.com→ Click "Create Your Apple ID" → Fill in the new email and password → In the "Country/Region" section,select "United States"→ Complete the email verification code verification.
For payment method, select"None", and for the billing address, it is recommended to use Oregon (no sales tax), for example: Portland, OR 97201. The phone number can be any valid US format number.
OpenApp Store→ Click the avatar in the top right corner → Scroll to the bottom and click"Sign Out"→ Log in with the newly registered US Apple ID to search and purchase apps like Stash or Shadowrocket.

Mihomo also supports visual management via Web Dashboard. After setting it up inconfig.yaml,external-controlleryou can access it via a browser athttp://127.0.0.1:9090/uito switch nodes and monitor traffic.

Comprehensive coverage of installation, configuration, and connection troubleshooting
A Subscription URL is a URL containing server node information provided by the proxy/VPN service provider you purchased from. After logging into the provider's control panel, you can usually find it on the "Subscription", "One-Click Import", or "Client Configuration" page. Copy and paste the link into the client's subscription input box to automatically download node configurations.
This is a limitation of the "System Proxy" mode—it can only take over applications that support HTTP/HTTPS proxies (mainly browsers). To make all traffic from game clients, Telegram, command-line tools, etc., go through the proxy, you need to enableTUN Mode. Find "Tun Mode" in the "Settings" of Clash Verge Rev and enable it. Enabling it requires administrator privileges, and all OS-level traffic will be handled by the Clash proxy.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot: ① Click speed test (lightning icon) on the client's "Proxies" interface and switch to a node with latency below 300ms; ② If all nodes have high latency or show "Timeout", try updating the subscription (the configuration may be expired); ③ Check if the proxy mode is correct, "Rule" mode is recommended; ④ Try switching to other proxy groups (such as backup groups, Premium lines, etc.); ⑤ If the problem persists, contact your proxy provider to confirm the account status and node availability.
Rule Mode: Decides which traffic goes through the proxy and which connects directly based on the rules in the configuration file. Domestic websites connect directly, and overseas websites go through the proxy.Recommended for daily use, as it allows access to Google while maintaining normal speeds for domestic websites.Global Mode: All traffic goes through the proxy, suitable for scenarios where all traffic needs to go abroad (such as overseas games), which may slow down domestic websites.Direct Mode: All traffic does not pass through the proxy, equivalent to turning off the proxy function. It can be used to temporarily test network speed.
Possible reasons: ① The subscription link has expired or the provider has stopped service; ② The network itself cannot access the subscription URL (you need an active network to update the subscription. You can turn off the proxy, directly access the provider's official website, download the configuration file, and manually import it); ③ Client cache issues. Try deleting the current subscription in "Profiles", then re-add the URL and download.
Common causes and solutions: ①Signature conflict: An app with the same name from a different signature source may already be installed on the phone. You need to uninstall the old version before installing the new one; ②Insufficient storage space: Clean up phone storage and try again; ③Corrupted APK file: Re-download the complete APK file; ④Android version too low: ClashMeta for Android requires Android 5.0 and above. Please check your system version.
No. Both Stash and Shadowrocket areone-time paid apps for lifetime use, and there is no app subscription expiration issue. Note that "subscription" has two meanings here: ① Purchasing the client itself is a one-time payment; ② The "subscription link" added within the client is the subscription of your proxy provider. This part will expire along with your proxy account and needs to be renewed or replaced with a new subscription link, which has nothing to do with the client app itself.
Linux's system proxy setting mechanism differs from Windows/macOS. Some applications (especially Firefox) may not follow the GNOME/KDE global proxy settings. Solutions: ① Manually set the HTTP proxy to127.0.0.1:7890in Firefox's network settings; ② Or turn on Clash Verge Rev's TUN mode (requires installing network drivers) to achieve a true global proxy; ③ Alternatively, set the environment variablesexport http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890in the terminal before starting Firefox.
