Explore the documentationWhat is v2rayN?
+
v2rayN is an open-source proxy client supporting cores such as Xray and sing-box. Its graphical interface helps you manage servers, subscriptions, and routing on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Is v2rayN free?
+
Yes. v2rayN is released under the GPL-3.0 license and is free to download and use. You configure your own proxy servers or subscriptions; any service fees are determined by your provider.
Where do I get a server or subscription?
+
v2rayN does not provide servers or subscriptions. Set up your own server or obtain a configuration from a provider you trust, then import it using a subscription URL, share link, or manual configuration.
Which operating systems are supported?
+
The project offers Windows, macOS, and Linux builds. Architectures vary by package. Check the file name and release notes to choose a package compatible with your system.
What if I have connection problems?
+
Check that your subscription is up to date and your server is available, then run a latency test. Review the system proxy, routing mode, and client logs for specific errors. The project Wiki and GitHub Issues can help with further troubleshooting.
How do stable and preview releases differ?
+
Channels follow the labels supplied by the download source. Preview builds generally include newer changes and may contain unresolved issues. The download pages show the channel and version explicitly rather than presenting preview packages as stable.
Which architecture should I choose?
+
x64 fits most 64-bit Intel and AMD computers. x86 is the 32-bit Windows build. ARM64 fits Apple M-series and other 64-bit ARM devices. Linux riscv64 and loong64 packages target RISC-V and LoongArch devices respectively.
Why do some applications still connect directly?
+
Starting the client does not make every application use a proxy. Check that the system proxy is enabled and that the application respects it. Some applications require the local proxy address and port in their own settings.
How can I verify a downloaded file?
+
Each download lists the SHA256 hash provided by the source page. Calculate the downloaded file’s hash with your system tools and compare it against the hash for that exact filename. SHA256 checks integrity; the project also publishes GPG signatures to help verify publisher identity.
What should I back up before updating?
+
Back up subscriptions, custom servers, routing rules, and any manually changed settings. The configuration directory can vary with client version and installation method, so confirm the actual location in the client or project documentation first.
