• Graphical interface. v2rayN provides a visual interface for configuring and managing V2Ray connections without using the command line. It includes options to add, edit, and delete servers, as well as proxy and routing settings.
• Multiple protocol support. The tool supports protocols such as VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan, and SOCKS. Each protocol can be configured with specific parameters, such as encryption, traffic obfuscation, and authentication.
• Subscription management. Import server configurations via subscription links. Node lists can be updated automatically according to the provider's settings.
• Custom routing system. Offers routing rules based on domains, IPs, and traffic types. Rules can be modified to send traffic through specific proxies or direct connections.
• HTTP and SOCKS proxy. Includes a local proxy server that redirects system-wide or application-specific traffic through the V2Ray configuration.
• Global and PAC modes. Choose between global mode, which redirects all traffic, and PAC mode, which uses an automatic configuration file to decide which traffic goes through the proxy.
• Load balancing. Distributes traffic across multiple configured servers, improving connection stability and speed.
• Traffic monitoring. Displays real-time data usage statistics, including upload and download speeds as well as total traffic used.
• Browser integration. Can be set up to work with web browsers through extensions or manual proxy settings, providing granular control over web traffic.
• DNS configuration. Define custom DNS servers to prevent DNS leaks and improve privacy. Supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT).
• Autostart. Option to launch the program automatically with the operating system, ensuring proxy connections are always available.
• Automatic updates. Checks for and downloads new versions of the V2Ray core and the client itself, keeping it compatible with the latest features.
• Configuration export. Save configurations to JSON files for use in other V2Ray clients or for backups.
• IPv6 support. Compatible with IPv6 connections, allowing use on networks that implement this protocol.
• Activity log. Generates detailed logs for troubleshooting, with options to adjust the level of detail and the location of the log files.

v2rayN was initially developed by 2dust and has been available on GitHub since 2017. The project is written in C# and uses the V2Ray core, which is developed in Go. The tool is actively maintained, with regular updates that bring improvements and new features.
