Auto launch and silent start

Advanced featuresUpdated 2026-06-18

With autostart configured, the proxy is ready every time you boot — no need to open the client manually.

Setup

1. Open the Settings page.
2. Enable “Auto Launch” so the client starts with the system.
3. Also enable “Silent Start” so it starts minimized to the tray without showing the main window.
4. Make sure “System Proxy” is on — this state is remembered and restored after boot.

Verify

Reboot, then open a browser without touching anything: if pages load through the proxy, the setup works. The Clash Verge icon sits in the tray area.
