What it is
Project V, also called v2ray-core, is a set of Go network tools for building your own proxy setup. According to the README, it is meant to secure network connections and protect privacy. The README's first line says the project has moved to github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core, so this repository may be outdated.
- Read the project's source code to understand how a proxy platform is structured
- Follow the README link to the moved repository for current code
- Use the MIT license terms as a reference for reuse
Great for
- Developers who want to read the source of a Go proxy platform
- People who need to find the current v2fly/v2ray-core repository
- Users who already understand proxy configuration
Not ideal for
- Beginners looking for a ready-to-use app, because the README gives no setup or usage guide
- Anyone who needs an active, maintained release from this exact repository, because the README says the project moved
- People who need a downloadable binary, because the latest release lists no binaries

Get the most out of it
- Use the v2fly/v2ray-core repository for current code and updates
- Read the linked documentation for configuration details, since this README does not include them
- Review the MIT license before reusing any code
Downloads
Strengths
- Licensed under the MIT License, which the README links to directly
- Built in Go and listed with SOCKS, HTTP proxy, and VMess topics
- Credits its production dependencies, gorilla/websocket and gRPC, in the README
Trade-offs
- The README says the project moved to another repository, so this copy may not be the main one
- The latest release v4.31.0 has no binaries, and the README gives no install instructions
- The README is truncated and says little about configuration or features
