Download NekoRay – Flexible Proxy and VPN Client for Windows and Linux

NekoRay is a free, open-source cross-platform proxy and network routing client for Windows and Linux. Built around the sing-box (or v2ray) core, it provides a user-friendly graphical interface for configuring and managing proxy connections using modern protocols including VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SOCKS5, and Hysteria.

NekoRay is designed for users who need flexible, protocol-agnostic network routing — routing specific traffic through a proxy while leaving other traffic on the direct connection (split tunneling), switching between multiple server profiles, and testing connection latency to find the fastest endpoint. It supports subscription-based server lists that can be imported from URLs and updated automatically.

The application features a clean Qt-based interface with server group management, real-time traffic statistics, connection log monitoring, and global or per-application routing rules. It is popular among users who need reliable, censorship-resistant internet access through configurable proxy chains.

Key Features

• Multi-protocol support – Connects via VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SOCKS5, HTTP, Hysteria, and NaiveProxy.
• Subscription import – Import and auto-update server lists from subscription URLs in V2Ray, SingBox, or Clash formats.
• Latency testing – Test ping latency to all servers in a group simultaneously to select the fastest node.
• Split tunneling – Route only selected traffic through the proxy using per-app or per-domain rules.
• Group management – Organize servers into groups by region, type, or provider for easy switching.
• Traffic statistics – Real-time upload/download speed and total data usage per connection.
• Cross-platform – Available on Windows and Linux; based on sing-box or v2ray core engines.
