Port settings and the mixed port

Advanced featuresUpdated 2026-06-26

The mixed port (default 7897) speaks both HTTP and SOCKS5 and is the entry point for programs you configure manually to use Clash Verge.

Changing the port

1. Open Settings and find “Mixed Port”.
2. Change it to your preferred port, avoiding well-known ports (80, 443) and anything already in use.
3. Save — the core restarts automatically and the new port is live.

Pointing a single program at the proxy

Set the program’s proxy to http://127.0.0.1:7897 or socks5://127.0.0.1:7897. For example, for git: git config --global http.proxy http://127.0.0.1:7897. In a terminal session, export HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY to the same address temporarily.
