v2rayNG

v2rayNG is a proxy client for Android, built on Xray-core, which also handles V2Ray’s protocols. It has no servers of its own: you add one or more servers, from your own setup or a provider’s subscription, and v2rayNG sends the phone’s traffic through them. It is developed by 2dust, who also makes v2rayN for Windows, macOS and Linux.

What it supports

From the app’s menus and source code for version 2.3.14:

• Protocols: VMess, VLESS, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SOCKS, HTTP, WireGuard and Hysteria2, plus policy groups, proxy chains and full custom configurations.
• Security and transports: TLS and REALITY, XTLS Vision, uTLS fingerprints; TCP, mKCP, WebSocket, HTTPUpgrade, XHTTP and gRPC. The menu still offers HTTP/2, but this version’s Xray core has removed that transport and refuses it.
• Importing from a QR code (camera or picture), the clipboard, a file, a subscription address, or v2rayN’s own v2rayn:// share links.
• Three ways to run: as a VPN for the whole phone (the default), as a local proxy that apps connect to, or a root mode that redirects traffic without a VPN. The developer calls root mode a community contribution.
• Per-app proxying, in either direction, and routing rules by domain, IP address, port, protocol or app.
• Routing presets: China whitelist (the default), China blacklist, global, Iran whitelist and Russia whitelist. With the default, Chinese sites and local addresses connect directly and everything else goes through the proxy.
• A Quick Settings tile, a home-screen widget, Tasker actions and backups to a WebDAV server.

On a new install, DNS for proxied traffic defaults to Cloudflare’s DNS over HTTPS (https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query), and to AliDNS (223.5.5.5) for direct connections. If you update from 2.2.x, the app keeps the proxied DNS you already had, which was 1.1.1.1 by default.

What changed from 2.3.11 to 2.3.14

Version 2.3.11, released on 11 October 2026, was the first full release since 2.2.6 in July, after ten 2.3 pre-releases. It brought:

• An interface rebuilt with Jetpack Compose, with Material You colours on Android 12 and later.
• Background subscription tasks that can combine updating, testing every server, deleting the ones that fail and sorting the rest; custom HTTP headers for subscription updates.
• A TCP ping test, import of v2rayN share links, a page crediting translators, and a DNS field for WireGuard servers.
• The core moved to Xray-core 26.10.10; 2.3.13 then updated it to 26.10.21, an emergency security release that stopped trusting three root certificates affected by compromised intermediary keys and was built with a newer Go version to reject them even where the operating system’s certificate store had not caught up.

It also fixes two problems 2.2.6 had: the batch delay test showing −1 for WireGuard servers (#5918), and root mode breaking routing when a SOCKS username and password are set (#5908).

Versions 2.3.13 and 2.3.14 add subscription traffic, expiry and support-link information; a floating row of subscription tabs with server counts; and the default port when importing a Hysteria2 link that omits one. Version 2.3.14 was released on 28 October 2026.

What goes online

From the 2.3.14 source code:

• Nothing when the app starts. Subscriptions update automatically only if you turn that on for a subscription. If you also switch on testing after updates, each automatic update then tests every server in that subscription.
• The update check runs only when you open Check for update. It asks GitHub for the latest full release, or for pre-releases if you tick that, and the update opens in your browser.
• Routing data (the geoip and geosite files) is built into the app and only downloaded again from GitHub when you ask for it.
• The connection test, when you tap the status bar while connected, loads Google’s generate_204 page through the proxy and then asks api.ip.sb for your IP address and country.
• The Promotion item in the side menu opens a web page in your browser that advertises paid proxy services, with referral codes; the address is stored in the app in encoded form. Nothing is loaded unless you tap it.

We found no analytics or crash-reporting code. The developer’s privacy note, written in Chinese, says that v2rayNG itself sends no information to the developer.

About this file

• This is the developer’s standard arm64 APK of 2.3.14 from GitHub, signed with the key of the project (certificate O=v2ray), which the project’s release workflow holds. Each APK on GitHub also has a GPG signature; the key’s fingerprint is in the README.
• v2rayNG isn’t on Google Play, F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid; GitHub is its only official source.
• It is for 64-bit ARM phones. For 32-bit ARM phones and TV boxes, the project’s GitHub has an armeabi-v7a file, and, since 2.3.11, a universal APK for any processor, about twice the size.
• The 32.5 MB file runs on Android 7.0 and later and declares 12 permissions: the VPN, notifications, the camera for QR codes, the list of installed apps for per-app proxying, and starting at boot if you enable auto-connect, which is off by default. With auto-connect on, the VPN now also starts again after the app is updated.
• There are no screenshots: the project doesn’t publish any of the app itself.
• v2rayNG is licensed under the GPL-3.0. Its core library, AndroidLibXrayLite, is under the LGPL-3.0 and Xray-core under the MPL-2.0; this version uses Xray-core 26.10.21. The routing data comes from the Loyalsoldier projects, under the GPL-3.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0. The source of this version is at https://github.com/2dust/v2rayNG/tree/2.3.14, and of its core at https://github.com/2dust/AndroidLibXrayLite/tree/v26.10.21.

CPU types in this build: arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM, almost every phone since 2017).
