What is V2Ray?#

Think of V2Ray as a VPN on steroids. It offers more flexibility, advanced routing, and obfuscation features compared to traditional VPNs—making it ideal for evading restrictive ISP-level throttling and service-level firewalls.

Prerequisites#

Before proceeding, ensure you have the following:

• A Windows PC with administrator privileges

NOTE

There are apps available for Android, iOS, and Linux, but this guide focuses on Windows.

• A V2Ray server (self-hosted or via a provider) — Free options include FastSSH or VPN Jantit
• A V2Ray client for Windows — We’ll use v2rayN

Step 1: Download and Install V2Ray Client (v2rayN)#

1. Download the latest version of v2rayN-With-Core.zip from the official GitHub repository:
   👉 https://github.com/2dust/v2rayN

2. Extract the ZIP file and run the v2rayN.exe.

Step 2: Create a V2Ray Account#

You can either self-host or use a third-party service like FastSSH:

1. Visit the FastSSH V2Ray section

2. Choose a server location and create an account

3. Copy the configuration—specifically the TLS Port 443 (preferred for SNI)

Step 3: Import V2Ray Configuration#

1. Open v2rayN
2. Press Ctrl + V to import the config from clipboard
   Or go to Servers > Import bulk URL from Clipboard

Step 4: Modify the Config for SNI Bypass#

1. Double-click the imported config
2. Change the following values:

(Use the appropriate domain for your targeted service — e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.)

Step 5: Start V2Ray#

• Select the config and press Enter or right-click > Start
• If the SNI host is valid and server config is correct, V2Ray will connect successfully.

Bonus: Finding SNI Hosts#

You can identify potential SNI hosts using:

• Burp Suite (manual inspection)
• Online Subdomain Scanners (e.g., crt.sh, Subfinder)

Example SNI Hosts by Platform:

Final Thoughts#

This method is a clever workaround for ISP-level service restrictions, particularly useful in regions where Zoom or WhatsApp data is metered separately. As always, use responsibly.
