Xray-core is a high-performance, modular proxy platform written in Go. It supports multiple protocols (VLESS, VMess, Shadowsocks, Trojan, etc.) for secure and obfuscated network traffic.
Use cases
- Set up a personal or enterprise proxy server to bypass censorship
- Create a secure tunnel for remote access to internal services
- Deploy a multi-protocol proxy for privacy‑focused users
- Implement a high‑throughput gateway for VPN‑like traffic
- Run a lightweight, configurable proxy on edge devices
When to choose
- You need a single solution that supports many proxy protocols out of the box
- You require high performance and low resource usage on Linux/Windows/macOS
- You want an actively maintained project with a large community
- You need built‑in support for anti‑censorship features like REALITY
When to avoid
- You prefer a GUI‑based proxy client rather than a command‑line service
- You need deep integration with proprietary VPN protocols not supported by Xray
- You require a Windows service installer with a graphical installer
