Share Your Proxy on the LAN: Phones and TVs via Your PC

Published · Updated · 2 min read

A TV box that can't install proxy apps, an iPhone you'd rather not buy another client for — if they share a Wi-Fi network with your computer, they can simply borrow Clash Verge's proxy.

The PC becomes the exit: LAN devices point their proxy at its port 7897

On the PC: three steps

  1. Settings → Ports: enable Allow LAN;
  2. Find the PC's LAN address: run ipconfig and read the IPv4 line — typically 192.168.x.x;
  3. Let it through the firewall: Windows asks the first time — allow on Private networks. If no prompt appeared, add an inbound rule for verge-mihomo manually.

On each device

  • iPhone / iPad — Settings → Wi-Fi → (i) on the current network → Configure Proxy → Manual; server = PC's IP, port 7897;
  • Android — Wi-Fi details → Modify network → Advanced → Proxy: Manual, same values;
  • Android TV / boxes — if the system hides proxy settings, use a browser that supports HTTP proxies, or set a global proxy via adb;
  • Another computer — manual system proxy pointed at IP:7897.

Can't connect? Check in this order

  1. Can the devices ping each other? Router "AP isolation" blocks all client-to-client traffic — turn it off in router settings;
  2. Is the firewall really letting it through? (One quick test with the firewall temporarily off tells you.);
  3. Did the PC's IP change? DHCP reshuffles addresses — reserve a static IP for the PC in your router.
Warning

Allow LAN means anyone on the network can use your proxy. On dorm or office Wi-Fi, pair it with the access whitelist in Settings — or switch it off when done.
