# Move from Stash

Stash uses Clash configurations, and Potatso reads them too. Import the same subscription URL or configuration file, and your proxies, proxy groups, rules, rule providers and DNS settings come along.

## Bring your subscription {#subscription}

1. Copy the subscription URL you use in Stash.
2. In Potatso, on **Home**, tap the **+** button, then **Import via Link/File**.
3. Paste the URL and tap **Continue**.
4. Check the preview. Under **Import To**, choose where it goes, then tap the button at the bottom.

A subscription imported from a URL keeps updating, daily by default. Changes you make in Potatso are kept across updates. See [Import subscriptions and configurations](/docs/guides/import-subscriptions/).

## Bring a configuration file {#file}

If you edited your configuration in Stash, or it isn't from a URL, import the YAML file instead:

1. In Potatso, tap **+**, then **Import via Link/File**.
2. Under **Source**, choose **File**, then tap **Choose File…** and pick the file. It must be UTF-8 text and no larger than 5 MB.
3. Tap **Continue**, check the preview, and import.

A file is imported once: it has nothing to update from.

## What carries over {#carries-over}

| From a Stash configuration | In Potatso |
| --- | --- |
| Proxies with a supported protocol | ✅ See [Protocols](/docs/protocols/). |
| Proxy providers | ✅ |
| Proxy groups: `select`, `url-test`, `fallback`, `load-balance`, `relay` | ✅ |
| Rules and rule providers | ✅ Rules Potatso can't represent are skipped. |
| DNS settings | ✅ |
| `mode` (rule, global, direct) | ✅ Becomes the profile's outbound mode. |
| Proxies of other types, such as WireGuard or TUIC | ❌ Skipped |
| HTTPS decryption (MitM), rewrites, scripts | ❌ Potatso has none of these. |

The preview lists everything it skipped under **Compatibility Issues**, with the reason. Skipped rules are listed with their rule number, so you can find them in your configuration.

## After you import {#next}

1. On **Home**, check the outbound mode. A Clash configuration with rules imports in Rule mode, unless its `mode` says otherwise. See [Outbound modes](/docs/guides/outbound-modes/).
2. Turn on the switch on the status card to connect. The first time, iOS asks to add Potatso's VPN configuration: tap **Allow**.

Disconnect Stash before you connect Potatso.

To change rules and groups after import, see [Rules and rule sets](/docs/guides/rules-and-rule-sets/) and [Proxy groups and speed tests](/docs/guides/proxy-groups-and-speed-tests/).
