Key Advantages
- Advanced traffic obfuscation defeats deep packet inspection
- Can disguise VPN traffic as normal HTTPS web browsing
- Flexible routing rules for intelligent traffic management
- Multiple protocol support including VMess, VLESS, and Shadowsocks
When to Use V2Ray
- In countries with heavy internet censorship (China, Iran, UAE)
- When other VPN protocols are being actively blocked
- For bypassing workplace or school network restrictions
- When you need traffic to appear as regular web browsing

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about V2Ray
V2Ray uses advanced obfuscation techniques like WebSocket over TLS, making traffic indistinguishable from regular HTTPS web browsing. It can evade deep packet inspection (DPI) systems that block traditional VPN protocols.
V2Ray with proper configuration (AES-128-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption over TLS 1.3) is highly secure. While not as battle-tested as OpenVPN, it provides excellent security for its primary use case: censorship circumvention.
V2Ray is specifically designed to bypass the Great Firewall of China and similar censorship systems. It's one of the most effective tools for accessing blocked content in restrictive countries, though no VPN can guarantee 100% uptime.
V2Ray can be slightly slower than WireGuard due to obfuscation overhead, but it's generally faster than OpenVPN. The speed trade-off is worth it when you need to bypass censorship that blocks other protocols.
EdgeVPN handles all V2Ray configuration automatically. Simply select a V2Ray server and connect—our app manages the complex obfuscation settings to ensure optimal performance and bypass capabilities.
