What is Xray Core

Xray Core is a next-generation proxy protocol core, the successor to V2Ray. It supports VLESS, Hysteria2, Reality and other protocols in one application.

Why the core matters

The protocol defines the traffic format, but the core handles everything else:

  • Routing — which traffic goes through which outbound
  • Load balancing — distributing load between servers
  • Observability — connection state monitoring
  • Optimization — minimal overhead

What it gives you

  • Stable connections — the core automatically picks the best route
  • Multiple protocols on one account
  • Fast updates — new protocols appear in the core and are immediately available

We chose Xray Core because it is the most mature and performant proxy protocol engine.
