Basics

What Is V2Ray and What Can It Do?

V2Ray is an open-source network proxy tool that helps you access the internet more reliably. v2rayN / v2rayNG / v2flyNG are GUI clients built on top of it for different platforms. Just install one, pair it with a subscription link or config, and you're ready to go — no need to understand the underlying technical details.

Is It Free to Download and Use?

The client software itself is completely free, open-source, and community-maintained. This site only provides download mirrors and usage guides for the official clients — we don't charge anything, and we don't sell paid nodes or subscriptions.

What's the Difference Between v2rayN, v2rayNG, and v2flyNG?

They're all GUI clients built on the V2Ray core: v2rayN covers Windows, macOS, and Linux, while v2rayNG and v2flyNG are both for Android (same core, different maintaining teams). Just pick the one for your system — there's no meaningful functional difference.

What's This Site's Relationship to the Developers of These Apps?

This site is not the original developer of the software, nor is it affiliated with any third-party ad site. We're an independent download mirror and guide portal that gathers scattered official clients and tutorials in one place, so beginners can quickly find the right download. Copyright for the software belongs to its original authors.

What Should I Keep in Mind When Using This Kind of Software?

The software itself is a general-purpose network tool, and this site only provides downloads and usage instructions. Please use it in compliance with the laws and regulations of your location — how you use it is entirely your own responsibility.

Download & Installation

Which Operating Systems Are Supported?

Currently Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android are all covered. You can find the specific clients and download links on the download page — just pick the one for your system.

What If the Download Is Very Slow?

Try switching networks (e.g., from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or vice versa), or retry the download later. If it keeps failing, check the Connection Troubleshooting page for more details.

My System or Antivirus Flagged the Installer as "Unknown Source" or "Risky" — Can I Still Install It?

This is a common false positive for network proxy tools and is a known issue — it doesn't mean there's actually a problem with the installer. You can choose "Install/Open Anyway" in your system settings to proceed. See the full installation guide or the corresponding entry in Troubleshooting for details.

Why Is Only the Latest Version Available? Can I Download Older Versions?

This site only maintains a download link for the current latest version — we don't offer or maintain older versions. This helps prevent beginners from accidentally downloading an outdated version with compatibility or security issues, and keeps maintenance overhead down. Whenever a new version is released, the download page is updated accordingly.

Can I Install the Same Client on Multiple Devices?

Yes. There's no device limit on the client software itself — you can install it on as many of your own devices as you like, and each installation runs independently without affecting the others.

Connecting & Usage

How Do I Get Started After Downloading?

After installing, open the client, paste your subscription link or import a config file, select a node, and click Connect. See 3-Step Quick Start or the full installation guide for detailed steps.

Where Do I Get a Subscription Link?

This site doesn't provide subscription links — we only offer the client software and usage guides. You'll need to get your own subscription link from your node/service provider, then follow the Subscription Import/Update guide to set it up.

I'm Connected but Still Can't Access the Internet — What Now?

Common causes include expired nodes, the system proxy not being properly enabled, or misconfigured routing rules. Check the Connection Troubleshooting guide to pinpoint the cause based on your symptoms — reinstalling the software is rarely necessary.

Slow Speeds After Connecting — Is It the Node or the Software?

In most cases it's a node load or route issue, not a problem with the client software itself. Try testing latency in the node list and switching nodes, or follow the "Slow Speeds" entry in Troubleshooting for a step-by-step check.

How Do I Know Which Node to Choose?

If you don't have any special requirements, just pick a node with low latency and a normal status — most clients support one-tap speed testing. You don't need to understand the technical details behind a node; any node with low latency that loads pages normally will work.

Do I Need to Keep the Client Running All the Time?

You only need to stay connected while you actually need proxy access. When you're not using it, feel free to disconnect or quit the client — your regular network connection resumes normally and it won't affect reconnecting later.
