Free V2Ray & Xray Proxy List (VMess & VLESS)

Welcome to your central hub for V2Ray and Xray compatible proxy nodes. Xray is a high-performance fork of V2Ray, fully compatible with its protocols. This ecosystem primarily uses two major protocols: the modern VLESS (pioneered by Xray), and the classic VMess. Below, you can find our combined list or choose a specific protocol.

Combined V2Ray / Xray Proxy List

Our unified list below includes nodes compatible with both V2Ray and Xray ecosystems. All nodes work with both cores, but you can choose based on protocol preferences:

Protocol-Based Selection

  • • VLESS Protocol: Modern, lightweight, excellent with Xray
  • • VMess Protocol: Classic, robust, wide client support
  • • Universal Compatibility: All nodes work with both V2Ray and Xray clients

How to Choose

  • • For Performance: Choose VLESS protocol nodes
  • • For Compatibility: Choose VMess protocol nodes
  • • For Xray Users: Both protocols work, VLESS recommended

💡 Selection Guide: All nodes in our list are compatible with both V2Ray and Xray clients. Choose your protocol based on your specific needs - VLESS for performance or VMess for maximum compatibility. Use the protocol-specific lists below for easier browsing.

Choose Your Protocol (V2Ray & Xray Compatible)

VLESS Proxy List

Recommended

For the best performance, lowest latency, and full Xray feature support (like XTLS Vision), VLESS is the modern choice.

VMess Proxy List

Compatible

The original, robust V2Ray protocol with a wide range of transport options, ensuring compatibility with both V2Ray and Xray cores.

💡 Expert Q&A: V2Ray vs. Xray - What's the Difference?

Q: Should I care whether a node is V2Ray or Xray?

A: For ordinary users, you almost don't need to care. Because Xray is fully compatible with V2Ray protocols, all VLESS and VMess nodes in our lists can be used in clients that support either V2Ray or Xray. Xray typically provides better performance, especially with VLESS protocol, but the final experience depends on your client software.

Q: What's the relationship between V2Ray and Xray?

A: V2Ray is the "original" project under Project V that pioneered VMess and other protocols. Xray is a "high-performance fork" led by core developer rprx, focusing on ultimate performance. VLESS protocol was originally created and promoted by the Xray team, then widely adopted by the V2Ray community.

Q: Which protocol should I choose?

A: For maximum performance and modern features, choose VLESS (especially with Xray clients). For maximum compatibility and stability, choose VMess. Both work with V2Ray and Xray cores, so you can't go wrong with either choice.

Understanding the V2Ray & Xray Ecosystem

V2Ray and Xray represent a powerful ecosystem of privacy-focused proxy protocols designed to bypass network restrictions and provide secure internet access. Think of them as two "engines" or "distributions" of the same technology family, rather than completely different systems.

V2Ray (The Pioneer)

  • • Original Project: Part of Project V
  • • VMess Protocol: Created the foundational protocol
  • • Mature Ecosystem: Wide client support
  • • Stable & Reliable: Battle-tested in production

Xray (The Performance Fork)

  • • High-Performance Fork: Optimized for speed
  • • VLESS Pioneer: Created the VLESS protocol
  • • Advanced Features: XTLS Vision and more
  • • Full Compatibility: Works with VMess too

Key Insight: Both V2Ray and Xray are fully compatible with each other's protocols. You can use VMess nodes (originally from V2Ray) in Xray clients, and VLESS nodes (pioneered by Xray) in V2Ray clients. They're more like different "versions" of the same technology.

VMess vs. VLESS: Protocol Comparison

Both protocols serve the same purpose but have different strengths depending on your specific needs:

Feature VMess (Classic) VLESS (Modern)
Performance ~ Good ✓ Excellent
Overhead ~ Higher ✓ Minimal
Client Support ✓ Widespread ~ Growing
Configuration ~ Complex ✓ Simpler
Advanced Features ✓ Rich ✓ Modern (XTLS)

How to Use V2Ray & Xray Nodes

Both V2Ray and Xray nodes can be used with compatible clients. Here's how to get started:

Step 1: Choose Your Protocol

Select either VLESS (for performance) or VMess (for compatibility) from our protocol-specific lists above.

Step 2: Copy the Configuration

Click the copy button next to your chosen node to copy the complete configuration string or URL.

Step 3: Import into Your Client

Use any V2Ray or Xray compatible client (v2rayN, Clash, V2RayNG, etc.) to import the configuration.

Popular Desktop Clients

  • • v2rayN (Windows) - Most popular
  • • V2RayX (macOS) - Native Mac client
  • • Clash for Windows - Multi-protocol
  • • Qv2ray - Cross-platform GUI

Popular Mobile Clients

  • • V2RayNG (Android) - Free & reliable
  • • Shadowrocket (iOS) - Premium option
  • • Clash for Android - Feature-rich
  • • Kitsunebi - Cross-platform

Security Best Practices

When using V2Ray or Xray nodes, follow these security guidelines to protect your privacy:

Synchronize Your System Time

VMess requires system time to be within 90 seconds of server time. Enable automatic time synchronization to avoid connection issues.

Use Strong Encryption

Prefer AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption methods. Avoid "none" encryption unless you understand the security implications.

Configure Smart Routing

Set up routing rules to only proxy necessary traffic. Use direct connections for local services to improve performance.

Rotate Nodes Regularly

Change proxy nodes periodically to maintain privacy. Don't rely on a single node for extended periods.
