2025-11-15 12:21:41 提示：OpenClash 开始启动...

From the logs, we can see that OpenClash starts to shut down automatically. The key line here is: 错误：内核状态异常，请查看《内核日志》排查异常原因！ This suggests an issue with the kernel state that needs further investigation. Additionally, there's a warning about IPv6 DHCP, which might be contributing to the problem.

IPv6 DHCP Warning: The warning 检测到您启用了 IPv6 的 DHCP 服务，可能会造成连接异常！ indicates that IPv6 DHCP is enabled. While IPv6 is the future, it can sometimes cause conflicts or unexpected behavior if not configured correctly. It's possible that this is interfering with OpenClash's operation. Consider checking your IPv6 settings and ensuring they are correctly configured for your network. If you don't need IPv6, disabling it might resolve the issue.

Kernel State Error: The error message 内核状态异常，请查看《内核日志》排查异常原因！ is critical. It points to a problem within the kernel itself. This could be due to various reasons, such as incompatible kernel modules, driver issues, or even underlying hardware problems. To troubleshoot this, you'll need to examine the kernel logs for more specific error messages. Common places to find kernel logs include /var/log/kern.log or using the dmesg command. Look for any errors or warnings that coincide with the OpenClash shutdown events. Addressing kernel-level issues often requires advanced knowledge of your system's configuration and may involve updating drivers, reconfiguring kernel modules, or even reflashing your firmware if necessary.

Startup and Shutdown Sequence: Examining the sequence of events during startup and shutdown can provide valuable clues. The logs show that OpenClash goes through several steps, including backing up policy group states, deleting firewall rules, and stopping various processes. If any of these steps fail or encounter errors, it could trigger the shutdown. Pay close attention to the timing and sequence of these events in relation to the error messages. For instance, if a particular firewall rule deletion consistently fails before the shutdown, that could be a key indicator of the root cause.

Configuration File Issues: Although the logs indicate that an initial configuration file is created, it's essential to verify the integrity and correctness of this file. Errors in the configuration can lead to unpredictable behavior. Ensure that the configuration file is correctly formatted and contains the necessary parameters for your setup. Incorrect proxy settings, DNS configurations, or routing rules can all contribute to the issue. Double-check your configuration against known good configurations or consult the OpenClash documentation for guidance.

Resource Constraints: Sometimes, seemingly random shutdowns can be attributed to resource constraints, such as insufficient memory or CPU capacity. OpenClash, like any application, requires adequate resources to function correctly. Monitor your system's resource usage during OpenClash operation to identify any potential bottlenecks. If memory usage is consistently high, consider reducing the number of active proxy rules or optimizing your configuration to reduce resource consumption. Similarly, if CPU usage spikes during certain operations, investigate whether there are any inefficient processes or configurations that can be optimized.

Compatibility Issues: Compatibility issues between OpenClash and other software or system components can also lead to unexpected shutdowns. Ensure that all installed packages and dependencies are compatible with the version of OpenClash you are using. Incompatibilities can arise from outdated libraries, conflicting software, or incorrect system configurations. Review your installed packages and dependencies, and update or reinstall them as necessary. Consulting the OpenClash community or documentation may provide insights into known compatibility issues and recommended solutions.

Power Supply and Hardware Stability: In rare cases, hardware-related issues can cause intermittent shutdowns or crashes. A failing power supply, overheating components, or unstable hardware can all lead to system instability. Check your device's power supply to ensure it is providing stable and adequate power. Monitor your device's temperature to ensure it is within acceptable limits. If you suspect hardware instability, consider running diagnostic tests or seeking professional assistance to identify and resolve the underlying hardware problem.

Log Analysis: To effectively troubleshoot the OpenClash shutdown issue, it's essential to conduct a thorough analysis of the OpenClash logs. Examine the logs for any error messages, warnings, or unusual events that precede the shutdown. Pay close attention to the timing and sequence of log entries to identify any patterns or correlations. Correlating log entries with system events, such as network connectivity changes or resource usage spikes, can provide valuable insights into the root cause of the issue. Use log analysis tools or techniques to filter, sort, and analyze the logs efficiently.

The logs also show a series of informational messages:

2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Start initial compatible provider default"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Mixed(http+socks) proxy listening at: 127.0.0.1:7890"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Sniffer is closed"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Initial configuration complete, total time: 0ms"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Geosite Matcher implementation: succinct"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Geodata Loader mode: memconservative"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Start initial configuration in progress"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Can't find config, create a initial config file"

These messages indicate that OpenClash is starting up correctly, initializing its components, and setting up the proxy. However, the message Can't find config, create a initial config file could be a clue. If OpenClash can't find its configuration file, it might lead to unexpected behavior.

To Reproduce

To reproduce the bug, the provided log snippets show a consistent pattern during startup:

2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Start initial compatible provider default"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Mixed(http+socks) proxy listening at: 127.0.0.1:7890"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Sniffer is closed"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Initial configuration complete, total time: 0ms"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Geosite Matcher implementation: succinct"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Geodata Loader mode: memconservative"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Start initial configuration in progress"
2025-11-15 12:21:44 level=info msg="Can't find config, create a initial config file"

This suggests that simply starting OpenClash might trigger the bug, especially if the configuration file is missing or corrupted.
