This guide will teach you how to import, manage, and update subscription links in Clash Party, ensuring you always have the latest server configurations.

📋 What is a Subscription?

A subscription is a URL that provides automatically updated server configurations. Instead of manually adding servers one by one, you can import a subscription link that contains multiple servers and automatically updates them.

  1. From your VPN provider: Most providers offer subscription links in their user dashboard
  2. Supported formats: Clash, V2Ray, Shadowsocks, and other common formats
  3. Copy the link: Make sure to copy the complete URL

⚠️ Warning

Security Note: Never share your subscription link with others, as it contains your personal access credentials.
