v2rayN Setup Guide¶
Goal: configure v2rayN so that blocked and foreign sites go through proxy, while domestic sites connect directly. Fast, secure, no DNS leaks.
What you'll get after setup¶
| Traffic destination | Route | Why |
|---|---|---|
 Russian unblocked sites (VK, Yandex, Avito…) |
Direct (your real IP) | Max speed, sites don't think you're abroad |
 Blocked in Russia (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter…) |
Via proxy | Bypass censorship |
 Foreign sites (Google, GitHub, Reddit…) |
Via proxy | Privacy, ISP tracking protection |
 Ads and trackers |
Blocked | Cleaner, faster internet |
What we'll configure¶
- Routing — rules for directing traffic
- Xray DNS — secure DNS servers for the Xray core
- sing-box DNS — same for the sing-box core (if using TUN mode)
- Verification — making sure everything works and no leaks
Requirements¶
What you need before starting
- Installed v2rayN (latest version recommended)
- A working proxy server (already added and connected in v2rayN)
- 15 minutes of your time
Don't know which core you're using — Xray or sing-box?
Open v2rayN → bottom left corner → it shows the current core. Xray is the default core. sing-box is used in TUN mode.
Don't worry — we'll configure both.
