Specifications

VMess is V2Ray's primary protocol, uses strong encryption and dynamic port allocation to resist DPI-based detection. V2Ray can obfuscate traffic to mimic HTTPS or WebSocket and adjusts to changing network conditions, making it effective in censorship-heavy environments such as China.^[1][2][3]
