Hey, this is a known issue with Clash proxy. When `--proxy-server` routes all traffic through it, TLS to `api2.cursor.sh` breaks.

Two options to fix it.

Option 1, Clash Verge rules, recommended.

Add these to your Clash Verge merge config so Cursor domains go direct:

```yaml
prepend-rules:
    - 'DOMAIN-SUFFIX,cursor.sh,DIRECT'
    - 'DOMAIN-SUFFIX,cursor-cdn.com,DIRECT'
    - 'DOMAIN-SUFFIX,cursorapi.com,DIRECT'
    - 'DOMAIN-SUFFIX,downloads.cursor.com,DIRECT'
    - 'DOMAIN-SUFFIX,todesktop.com,DIRECT'

```

Option 2, Chromium bypass flag.

```bash
/Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/MacOS/Cursor \
  --proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:7892 \
  --proxy-bypass-list="*.cursor.sh;*.cursor-cdn.com;*.cursorapi.com;*.cursor.com;*.todesktop.com"

```

Also add this to your Cursor `settings.json` to avoid HTTP/2 streaming issues through the proxy:

```json
{
  "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true
}

```

Let me know if it helps.
