SETUP ROUTE / 06 STEPS

Download to first connection

Complete six steps in order. Establish a minimal working connection before TUN and automation.

01
SYSTEM

Confirm OS and architecture

This guide focuses on “Confirm OS and architecture”. Start by separating three layers: the client provides the interface, the mihomo core executes routing rules, and the network provider determines the real connection. Putting a problem in the correct layer makes configuration far easier.

02
DOWNLOAD

Download the installer

Download from the official GitHub project or a trusted portal and match the package to your operating system and processor. Export the current configuration before upgrading or migrating. Subscription URLs are secrets; never expose them in screenshots, forums or shared logs.

03
PERMISSION

Approve system permissions

First confirm that the client opens and the core reports a healthy state. Import an authorized configuration, select rule mode, and test one known-good endpoint. Check the browser, native applications and DNS separately. Enable TUN, automatic groups or sync only after the basic path works.

04
PROFILE

Import a legitimate profile

A low latency score does not guarantee every site will be fast; it only measures a specific test endpoint. A successful subscription refresh does not prove that its endpoints work. Read the first concrete error in the log, then check time, network, firewall, DNS and syntax.

05
CONNECT

Select a route and enable system proxy

Keep both the client and mihomo on supported stable releases and read release notes before updating. Retain only necessary logs, protect backups, and regularly remove expired subscriptions, old profiles and unused service privileges.

06
VERIFY

Verify and keep a rollback path

This guide focuses on “Verify and keep a rollback path”. Start by separating three layers: the client provides the interface, the mihomo core executes routing rules, and the network provider determines the real connection. Putting a problem in the correct layer makes configuration far easier.
