Serverside Setup
an overview of v2ray server config looks like this
{
"log": {},
"api": {},
"dns": {},
"stats": {},
"routing": {},
"policy": {},
"inbounds": [],
"outbounds": [],
"transport": {}
}
Looking kinda complicated right, fear not we have Web-UI's to setup V2Ray servers.
Web-UI aka "panels" could be used for user-management including traffic stats,uuid-generation and much more...
-
Getting a VPS
refer to Acquiring remote servers anonymously (non-KYC providers)
for buying a VPS using XMR
-
Installing a panel
Once you have the VPS ready and have established an SSH connection,we can start working on installing panel.
we'll be using alireza0/x-ui panel since its actively
maintained, but you could also use MHSanaei/3x-ui
.The v2ray server setup is same same for all.

Would you like to customize the Panel Port settings? (If not, random port will be applied) [y/n]: y
Please set up the panel port: 9566
Your Panel Port is: 9566
Port set successfully: 9566
Username and password updated successfully
Base URI path set successfully
This is a fresh installation, generating random login info for security concerns:
###############################################

###############################################
If you forgot your login info, you can type 'x-ui settings' to check
Start migrating database...
Migration done!
Created symlink '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/x-ui.service' → '/etc/systemd/system/x-ui.service'.
x-ui v1.8.7 installation finished, it is up and running now...
The script asks for the port to use. we could change the port later.
We could use the creds(Autogenerated) displayed above to access the webui

Setting up the panel
after logging in switch to latest the xray-core
In order to receive inbounds we must create an inbound rule within the panel.
We are choosing vmess (as protocol) + websocket (as trasport).
copy the settings as below.
(you could change the port as of your liking)
VLESS does not provide built-in encryption, avoiding it for now.
ref
NOTE: VMess Requires to have time synced up.
Now you could try to connect to the server using QR Code or by using the vmess link.
(Click the QR to copy link)
See Client Section
a vmess link will look like vmess://<uuid>@<hostname>:<port>?<other_params>#<remarks>
-
Client Installation
We're installing V2rayN on linux, one could find the pre-build binaries in the releases section on github( link )
Extract, and run the client as follows
$ unzip v2rayN-linux-64.zip
...
$ cd v2rayN-linux-64/
$ chmod +x v2rayN
$ ./v2rayN
After executing the above command a GUI will popup.
change route settings (optional) within Settings(on top) > Regional Presets Settings > Russia
Routing is used when you want to avoid proxy for regional websites.
(A direct connection without proxy will be made by the clientside app based-off IP or Domain name)
Ex. if we access 1tv.ru, with this setting turned on it will be resolved using our actual IP than our Proxy IP
Wireguard as well as openvpn does not provide any obfuscation feature and will be detected easily by header match or DPI.
Start the trial and it should look something like this
