## What it is
v2rayN is a free, open-source GUI proxy client for Windows, Linux, and macOS built in C#. It manages multiple proxy cores including Xray, sing-box, and others, supporting protocols like VMess, VLESS, Trojan, and Shadowsocks.

## Use cases
- manage v2ray and xray proxy connections with a gui
- route traffic through vmess or vless servers
- configure trojan and shadowsocks proxies on windows
- switch between multiple proxy server subscriptions
- bypass network censorship on desktop
- set up a local socks5 proxy client

## When to choose
- you need a desktop GUI to manage Xray or sing-box cores
- you want multi-protocol proxy support (VMess, VLESS, Trojan, Shadowsocks) in one client
- you need GPG-signed releases and active maintenance on Windows, Linux, or macOS

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile client - use v2rayNG instead
- you only need a headless proxy core without a GUI
- you require a client for platforms outside Windows/Linux/macOS
