V2ray (xray)

Remove old v2ray / v2fly

To benefit from our XTLS servers, we need V2rayA to use xray-core, not v2fly.

If you previously installed v2ray or v2fly, please remove it from your system:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/v2ray
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/xray

Download

Download the latest stable release of xray-core from https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-core/releases.

Please do not download beta versions or developer previews.

Install

Install the binaries for xray into the /usr/local/bin directory.

On Debian/Ubuntu you would run:

sudo unzip Xray-linux-64.zip -d /usr/local/bin

Verify that the necessary files are indeed present. Run:

ls -l /usr/local/bin 

And you should see these files: (there may be others too - that's OK)

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11326721 Jan  1 01:00 geoip.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1068329 Jan  1 01:00 geosite.dat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18837504 Jan  1 01:00 xray

V2rayA

Download

Download the installer for v2rayA from github: https://github.com/v2rayA/v2rayA/releases/.

Use version 2.2.4 or newer. Older versions are not compatible with Xray.

They offer installers for Arch Linux, Debian (works with Ubuntu, etc.), FreeBSD, RedHat and Windows. There's also a binary for macOS, but no installer.

Install

Install the downloaded package. On Debian/Ubuntu you would run:

sudo dpkg -i installer_debian_amd64_2.2.4.deb

(Change the version number to match what you downloaded.)

Start and Enable

Start v2raya using the following command:

sudo systemctl start v2raya

If you want to start v2raya automatically whenever you start your computer, you may also run:

sudo systemctl enable v2raya

At this point the web interface for v2rayA is accessible to everyone on your local network! It's important to proceed with the next steps immediately.

Note: when starting v2raya, it tries to download some GeoIP databases. If that fails, v2raya will not start.

iptables

IPtables is required. If your computer does not have it, or if you are not sure, you can install it by running:

sudo apt install iptables

Using v2rayA

Now that v2rayA is running, please proceed to using v2rayA.
