How to identify official download channels
Search engines are full of “Clash Verge download sites”, and many of them serve tampered installers or bundle malware. Remember one simple principle: there is exactly one official source for installers.
The only official release page
Installers for every platform are published exclusively on GitHub Releases: github.com/clash-verge-rev/clash-verge-rev/releases. As the official website, this site only ever points its download buttons there and never redistributes binaries.
Channels to be wary of
Sites that charge money or require a “membership” to download — this software is entirely free; installers of unknown origin from file lockers or chat groups; look-alike domains imitating the project; and “download accelerators” that bundle extra software.
Verifying an installer
The Releases page publishes a checksum for every file. On Windows, run certutil -hashfile
