Setup Your Own v2ray on a Virtual Server
V2RAY
What is v2ray
V2ray or vmess protocol to be precise, is a sophisticated version of the famous Shadowsocks. At the core v2ray is also based on SOCKS5 proxy. Normally, proxies lack encryption, and that’s what differentiates a VPN and a proxy. Shadowsocks is SOCKS5 proxy with an encryption, and vmess is the next gen Shadowsocks.
V2Ray includes two “protocols” vmess, v2ray’s own protocol and Shadowsocks. In addition, you can choose several tunneling and obfuscation options with vmess.
- TCP – It is the default connection. “TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a type of protocol or standard to transfer information over the Internet, such as SSH, FTP, HTTP, etc.“
- Websocket – With Websocket you can hide your VPS IP address behind a domain name, making it harder for the VPN blocking firewall to blacklist the IP address.
- mKCP – An alternative to TCP, could be faster than TCP. Could be useful if you need a UDP like protocol.
- QUIC – Google’s alternative to TCP and UDP. Based on UDP. Could be faster than TCP.
4. Next you choose the protocol. For sake of simplicity let’s choose TCP.
5. Now you choose the port. You can choose the default value or change it. I choose port 23432.
23432
6. Then you choose to install an ad-blocker or not. It is noted that performance may be affected if ad-blocker is activated. I choose not to install it.
N
7. You will be asked whether you also want to install Shadowsocks. If you type Y, then you will have to choose a Shadowsocks port, a password and an encryption method. I will keep it simple and choose not to install Shadowsocks.
8. And lastly, you press Enter to proceed or Ctrl+C to cancel. After a while, the setup will be complete. Now you can get v2ray configuration
