Router Setup Tutorial
This tutorial will guide you through setting up and using the proxy service on your router. With router-level configuration, all devices connected to the router can automatically enjoy acceleration.
Step 1: Check Router Compatibility
Our router proxy service supports multiple mainstream router firmware options, including:
- OpenWrt / LEDE (recommended for best performance and features)
- DD-WRT
- Asuswrt-Merlin
- Some stock firmware (e.g., high-end ASUS routers)
Note: This tutorial applies to x86 soft routers. It is not suitable for traditional hardware routers.
Step 2: Install OpenClash on OpenWrt
The following steps use OpenWrt as an example. Other firmware may be similar but with different details:
Method 1: Using the Web UI
- Log in to the OpenWrt Web admin interface
- Click "System" -> "Software"
- Click "Update lists"
- Search for "openclash" in the filter box
- Find the OpenClash package and click "Install"
- After installation, go to "Services" -> "OpenClash" to open the configuration page
Method 2: Using SSH
If you prefer the command line, connect to your router via SSH and run:
opkg update opkg install openclashMethod 3: Manual Installation
If your router can't access the internet or you can't install from software sources, you can download and install manually:

opkg install /path/to/openclash_xxx.ipk
