V2Ray Client Downloads
Packages and Architecture Options

The Desktop edition uses a next-generation cross-platform UI. It’s a good fit for first-time v2rayN users and anyone who wants a consistent experience across desktop systems. The classic WPF edition is a stable Windows version for users familiar with the traditional window layout. Both editions support subscription groups, node selection, system proxy settings, and routing. Choosing an interface doesn’t mean choosing a different subscription service.

Both downloads are archives. Fully extract the file before running the installer; don’t launch it from the archive preview. Keep your configuration backup in a separate folder. When switching editions for the first time, check that your subscriptions and custom routes load correctly before removing files from the old version.

Open About This Mac from the Apple menu. If your chip is from the M series, choose the Apple Silicon arm64 package. If it lists an Intel processor, choose x64. Don’t guess based on the computer’s appearance or purchase date; models in the same product line may use different processors. Choosing the native architecture can also reduce compatibility issues.

Open the DMG and follow the installer window’s instructions to move the app to Applications, then launch it from there. Don’t keep running the client from the mounted disk image. After the first launch, import a subscription and test a node before changing system proxy settings. If macOS says the app can’t be opened, note the full message and check Security settings rather than disabling security checks.

v2rayNG uses the Xray core and supports subscription imports, node selection, and Android VPN service routing. It’s a good place to start when setting up an Android client. Then check which protocols and transport settings your subscription requires. Most mainstream phones released after 2015 use arm64, but some devices support 64-bit processors while their operating system limits app architectures. Check what your device’s system supports.

Open the APK with the system installer. If prompted, allow your browser or file manager to install apps from that source; grant permission only to the source you’re using. When you first connect, Android will ask to set up a VPN connection. Approve the request to let the client route traffic. This grants network access on your device; it doesn’t mean your subscription is ready. You’ll still need to import a configuration and test the connection.

v2flyNG is an Android alternative that uses the v2fly core. If your existing configuration relies on V2Fly-specific features or behavior, check whether this client meets your needs. Its interface is similar to v2rayNG, but the cores don’t have identical capabilities. Successfully importing a subscription doesn’t mean every protocol will work interchangeably in both clients.

The same rules apply: choose arm64 if your phone supports it, and consider the universal build if you’re unsure. Before switching clients, disconnect the existing VPN service and back up your subscription, then import it into the new client. Android generally allows only one standard VPN service at a time. Another VPN, security app, or network filter may replace the active connection.

For desktop distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu that use the deb package system, start with deb. For distributions using RPM, check the rpm package. Matching the package format is only the first step: system libraries, distribution version, and dependencies must also be compatible. The same file extension doesn’t guarantee that a package will install on every system. Pay particular attention to dependency and compatibility warnings for rpm packages.

Most Intel and AMD 64-bit desktop devices use x64; for ARM desktops or development boards, check the system architecture and choose arm64. These are GUI desktop packages, so the system needs a graphical session to run apps. Open the downloaded package with your distribution’s software installer, then launch the app from the application menu. Don’t use the desktop package as a background service for a server.
