v2rayN: Desktop Control Center for Xray and sing-box

v2rayN is a desktop graphical client that wraps command-line proxy cores — chiefly Xray and sing-box — in a practical, mouse-driven interface. Instead of hand-editing JSON configuration files, you paste a share link or subscription URL, and the app writes the backend configuration for you. From there you pick a server, choose how traffic should leave your machine, and switch connections in a click. The workflow is deliberately linear: import profiles, update subscriptions, test latency, select the fastest node, then enable system proxy or TUN mode. That structure is why v2rayN is often the first desktop client people reach for when they need repeatable proxy management rather than a one-off tunnel.

Configuration is the part that separates v2rayN from a simple toggle. Subscription groups let you keep several provider feeds side by side, refresh them on demand, and see which entries respond without leaving the window. Routing rules decide what gets tunnelled and what goes direct, so local services, streaming platforms, and work tools can each follow a different path. Advanced users can chain an entry proxy with a landing proxy, edit DNS handling, or supply a complete custom template when the built-in options are not enough. If you prefer a different design philosophy for the same underlying cores, Clash Verge Rev is the closest comparison worth trying.

Benefits of Using v2rayN

The main benefit of v2rayN is that it removes the error-prone parts of proxy setup without hiding anything from you. Profiles arrive through share links, clipboard imports, or subscriptions, so adding a server takes seconds instead of a text editor session. Latency and real-connection tests sort the list by what actually works right now, which saves the trial-and-error of clicking through nodes one by one. System proxy, PAC, and TUN modes cover different needs: browser-only tunnelling, rule-based routing, or full-device capture for apps that ignore proxy settings. Because routing, DNS, and core selection are exposed, troubleshooting stops being guesswork — logs, statistics, and per-node timing make problems visible. Backup and restore keep a working configuration safe when you move machines or rebuild. For anyone who juggles multiple providers or locations, v2rayN turns a fiddly command-line routine into a stable, repeatable habit.

v2rayN Features

Subscription Groups and On-Demand Updates

Keep multiple provider feeds organised in separate groups, refresh any of them individually, and see the resulting server list in one window. Updates pull the newest node details automatically, so expired or rotated servers do not linger in your profile list and manual re-entry is rarely needed.

Real-Delay and Speed Testing

Run latency checks and real-connection tests across a server list, then sort by result to find the one that actually responds. The distinction matters: a low ping is not the same as a working tunnel, and testing both saves the manual clicking that connection hunting usually requires.

Rule-Based Routing

Define which domains, IP ranges, and applications bypass the tunnel and which ones go through it. Built-in presets handle common cases such as local networks and regional traffic, while custom rules let you route specific sites differently — useful when a service breaks under full tunnelling.

TUN Mode for Full-Device Capture

TUN mode routes traffic at the network layer instead of relying on each application’s proxy settings, so programs that ignore system proxies are covered too. It is the practical option for launchers, stores, and background services that would otherwise leak traffic straight to the internet.

Switchable Proxy Cores

Choose between Xray, sing-box, and other supported backends from a single settings panel rather than installing a separate client for each. Switching cores lets you test which engine handles a particular protocol or node better, without rebuilding your profile list or re-entering subscription details.

Share Link and Clipboard Import

Paste a share link and the client parses it into a ready-to-use profile, including transport and security parameters, so a new server is configured in one action. Manual entry through the add-configuration dialog remains available, and profiles can be exported again for use elsewhere.

System Proxy Modes and PAC Support

Pick how the desktop should route traffic: a fully automatic system proxy, a PAC script with defined exceptions, or nothing at all when you only want the client listening on a local port. Automatic mode keeps browsers and other proxy-aware apps covered without manual network changes.

Logs, Statistics, and Backup

Live logs, per-server traffic counters, and connection statistics show what the core is doing, which turns vague “it stopped working” reports into something diagnosable. The backup and restore option packages your profiles, rules, and settings so a working setup survives a reinstall or a new machine.
