VMess

VMess is an encrypted transmission protocol used in the V2Ray project to achieve secure communication between clients and servers. V2Ray is a powerful network proxy tool that supports multiple protocols and advanced features, and VMess is one of the most commonly used protocols.

Features of VMess

• Encryption: The VMess protocol uses multiple encryption methods to protect transmitted data and prevent data from being monitored or tampered with. Common encryption methods include AES, ChaCha20, etc.
• Authentication: VMess includes a two-way authentication mechanism for clients and servers, ensuring that only authenticated clients can connect to the server, thereby preventing unauthorized access.
• Obfuscation: To prevent traffic from being detected and identified, VMess supports a variety of traffic obfuscation methods, making its traffic look like ordinary HTTPS or other types of traffic.
• Multi-protocol support: VMess can be used in combination with a variety of transport protocols, including TCP, mKCP, WebSocket, HTTP/2, QUIC, etc., which enhances flexibility and concealment.

How VMess works

• Client configuration: The user configures the V2Ray client locally and specifies the address, port, UUID (user ID), encryption method and other information of the VMess server to be connected.
• Server configuration: Configure V2Ray on the remote server and set the VMess protocol and related parameters, including the client UUID allowed to connect.
• Connection establishment: The client initiates a connection request, and the server establishes an encrypted channel by verifying the client's UUID and other information.
• Data transmission: Once the connection is established, all data transmission between the client and the server is carried out through an encrypted channel to ensure security and privacy.
