V2Ray (Project V) is a Go-based network proxy platform for building tunnels that bypass network restrictions and protect privacy. It supports multiple inbound/outbound protocols such as VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan, SOCKS, and HTTP, with configurable routing, traffic obfuscation, and load balancing.

Use cases

  • bypass internet censorship and network restrictions
  • set up a personal proxy server with vmess or vless
  • tunnel traffic through shadowsocks or trojan protocols
  • route traffic by domain or region with custom rules
  • disguise proxy traffic as normal HTTPS web traffic
  • run a multi-protocol socks5 and http proxy locally

When to choose

  • you need a highly configurable multi-protocol proxy core with routing and load balancing
  • you want traffic obfuscation and replay protection to evade censorship
  • you need native cross-platform support on Windows, macOS, and Linux

When to avoid

  • you want a simple one-click VPN client with a GUI rather than a configurable core
  • you need a turnkey commercial VPN service
  • you are unwilling to write or manage JSON configuration files
