About this project

V2Ray Core, also known as Project V, is a set of network tools that helps users build their own computer network. According to its README, it secures network connections and thereby protects privacy, and it is described as a platform for building proxies to bypass network restrictions. The project is developed under the v2fly organization and is distributed under the MIT License. Its README points to official documentation and a newcomer's instructions site at v2fly.org, and it invites community members to translate V2Ray documentation through Transifex. Packaging status is tracked via Repology, and the README notes that anyone willing to package V2Ray for other distributions or platforms should contact the project or seek help through GitHub issues. The repository includes CI test badges, code coverage reporting, a Go report card and a Codacy grade badge, indicating an active testing and quality-checking setup. The README lists third-party dependencies used in production, including gorilla/websocket, quic-go/quic-go, pires/go-proxyproto, seiflotfy/cuckoofilter, google/starlark-go, jhump/protoreflect and inetaf/netaddr. Testing-only dependencies include miekg/dns and h12w/socks. Overall, the repository presents itself as a networking and proxy platform rather than an end-user application, with emphasis on documentation, packaging across platforms, and an open-source license.
