## What it is
V2RayXS is a native macOS GUI client for Xray-core, a maintained fork of the archived V2RayX project. It supports VLESS and XTLS protocols, PAC/global proxy modes, and an experimental tun mode for transparent system-wide proxying.

## Use cases
- run xray-core proxy client on macos with a gui
- use vless and xtls protocols on mac
- route all system traffic through a proxy with tun mode
- configure shadowsocks and v2ray proxies on mac
- bypass network censorship on macOS
- manage proxy routing rules with a menu bar app

## When to choose
- you need a native macOS GUI for Xray-core with VLESS/XTLS support
- you want a maintained successor to the archived V2RayX
- you need transparent proxying via tun mode on macOS

## When to avoid
- you need a v2ray-core (not xray-core) client - use the original V2RayX or V2RayU
- you are on Windows or Linux
- you want a fully polished tun mode - it is experimental and can disrupt routing
