π Protocol Guide
VMess
VMess is a protocol designed in-house by the V2Ray project. Everything travels over TCP, but the payload is wrapped in encryption and made to look like innocuous HTTPS. The result is a channel whose contents β and purpose β are hard for deep packet inspection to pin down.
Core Benefits of VMess
- Confidential stream: ChaCha20 or AES-128-CFB encrypts all data.
- DPI evasion: Traffic mimicry confuses signature-based filters.
- Dynamic binding: Changing ports improves resilience.
- Universal: Available across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
- Carrier agnostic: TCP, mKCP, WebSocket, HTTP/2 all work as transports.
VMess Configuration in FlClash
FlClash parses VMess nodes from subscriptions automatically. Manual entries rely on these fields:
server: Server addressport: Server portuuid: User UUIDalterId: Additional ID (0-65535)cipher: Encryption method (auto/aes-128-gcm/chacha20-poly1305)
