- For Android users focused on the V2Ray protocol, we strongly recommend trying v2rayNG. As one of the most popular V2Ray applications on the Android platform, v2rayNG has won widespread praise among users for its stability and efficiency.
- For iOS platform users, we suggest experiencing Sing-Box. Among many iOS applications, Sing-Box stands out among iPhone users for its free advantage and excellent performance.
How to Choose a Kernel in NekoRay?
NekoRay offers two kernels to choose from: Xray and Sing-Box. Xray is widely used by many airports, so its compatibility is very good. Sing-Box is an emerging kernel that supports more protocols for bypassing censorship, and sometimes performs better in terms of performance.
If you want to use a subscription link purchased from an proxy provider, Xray is recommended.
If you want to use the latest protocols and software, Sing-Box is recommended. However, most airports have not yet supported the Sing-Box subscription format, and an online subscription conversion tool is needed.
