+[XRay (aka ProjectX)](https://xtls.github.io/en/) is a frontier solution to circumvent the internet censorship. XRay allows to guide traffic
+through a server (VPS) outside the region of censorship as a proxie, but connection to xray server looks for authorities as a typical
+connection to a regular website. Attempts to detect VPN such as [active probing](https://ensa.fi/active-probing/) or blocking by the rule
+"all except https" are eliminated by XRay.  Also, XRay server can be configured to open only foreign websites, thus preventing detection by
+the code on domestic websites.  As a proxy, XRay has no need to encrypt already encrypted https traffic, hence CPU load is low. XRay doesn't
+need to keep the connection alive, and users don't need to manually reconnect to it time-to-time. Also users don't need to turn a client off
+to go to most domestic websites.

+
+- install/upgrade/remove XRay
 - generate credentials and server/client configs
 - add/delete users to the configs
+- and more
+
+### How to use on VPS
+
+First you need a Linux server (VPS) with [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) and `openssl` installed, they can be found in repositories of
+almost all popular Linux distributions. Then download whole `easy-xray` folder to the VPS, make the script `ex.sh` executable, and run a
+desired command with it. Use `./ex.sh help` to see the list of all available commands and `./ex.sh install` to start interactive prompt
+that installs and configures XRay.
 
-First, make the script `ex.sh` executable, then run a desired command with it. Use `./ex.sh help` to see the list of all available commands
-and `./ex.sh install` to start interactive prompt which installs and configures XRay.
 ```
-$ chmod +x ex.sh
-$ ./ex.sh help
-$ sudo ./ex.sh install
+chmod +x ex.sh
+./ex.sh help
+sudo ./ex.sh install
 ```
 
-### Prerequisites
+Now you have `conf` folder with server and client configs and some user configs. Server config is properly installed and XRay is running.
+Time to share configs or *links* with users! To generate config in the link form, use `./ex.sh link user_config_file.json`.
 
-For manipulations with configs, [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) is needed, it can be found in repositories of almost all popular Linux
-distributions.
+### Clients
 
-### How it works
+#### Linux
 
-With current configs, XRay creates a tunnel between the client (your laptop, phone etc.) and the server (your VPS). The tunnel uses VLESS
-[Reality](https://github.com/XTLS/REALITY/blob/main/README.en.md) protocol that obfuscates traffic and in our case imitates
-[grpc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRPC). For the censor the tunnel looks like a usual connection to a site. The server responds to https
-requests as some popular site thus it is not suspicious for an active probing. On the client side *XRay* creates http/https and socks
-proxies which can be used by your Telegram or web browser like this:
+XRay itself can be a client, besides plenty of GUI clients that are available for other popular operating systems (see below). You can
+manually install XRay with [official script](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-install) and manually copy `customgeo.dat` to
+`/usr/local/share/xray/` or just install them both with `sudo ./ex.sh install` command. Then, copy client config from the server and run:
 
-![browser proxy: http/https proxy 127.0.0.1 at port 801, socks v5 host 127.0.0.1 at port 800](browser-proxy-settings.png)
+```
+sudo cp config_client_username.json /usr/local/etc/xray/config.json
+sudo systemctl start xray
+```
 
-Note that there is no additional encryption layer in VLESS; using it you rely on the encryption that the browser (Telegram app etc.) makes.
-Note also that for current client config, traffic to .cn, .ru, .by and .ir sites goes directly from the client, see
-[here](https://github.com/EvgenyNerush/coherence-grabber) for details. This makes your server much less attention-grabbing and suspicious,
-but your connection less anonymous.
+or
 
-### Other clients
+```
+sudo xray run -c config_client_username.json
+```
 
-For Windows, MacOS or Android you can try Nekobox, v2rayNG or ? (TODO): tests and config generation for them.
+In the current configuration, on the client side XRay creates http/https and socks5 proxies on your PC which can be used by your Telegram
+app or Web browser like this:
 
-### Futher reading
+![browser proxy: http/https proxy 127.0.0.1 at port 801, socks v5 host 127.0.0.1 at port 800](figs/browser-proxy-settings.png)
 
-Template configs contain comments and links and are good start to find another interesting Xray configuration options.
+To check that traffic to domestic and foreing sites goes by different ways, visit, for example,
+[whatismyip.com](https://www.whatismyip.com/) and [2ip.ru](https://2ip.ru/). They should show different IP addressess.
 
-### Acknowledgements
+#### Windows
 
-[This article (in Russian)](https://habr.com/ru/articles/731608/) helped me to install *XRay* for the first time.
+Use [Nekoray (Nekobox)](https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/nekoray) client that releases can be found on [this
+page](https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/nekoray/releases). Choose one of Assets, for instance `nekoray-3.26-2023-12-09-windows64.zip`, download
+then unzip it and run Nekoray. The following configuration is [quite easy (RU)](Nekoray.ru.md).
+
+#### MacOS
+
+Use XRay:
+
+```
+brew install xray
+cp customgeo.dat /usr/local/share/xray/ # not yet tested
+sudo xray -config=config_client_username.json
+```
+
+#### Android
+
+For many mobile applications it is enough to paste a client config in a link form from the buffer, and add customgeo in an appropriate form
+(see `misc` dir) to somethere like `Settings/Routing/Custom rules/Direct URL`. Tested applications are listed below.
+
+Use [V2RayNG](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.v2ray.ang&pcampaignid=web_share),
+[HiddifyNG](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ang.hiddify.com&pcampaignid=web_share) or [Hiddify
+Next](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.hiddify.com&pcampaignid=web_share). They are very similar to each other, here are
+some instructions for [V2RayNG (RU)](V2RayNG.ru.md) and [HiddifyNG (EN)](HiddifyNG.en.md).
+
+#### iOS
+
+Use [Straisand](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streisand/id6450534064). Its configuration is very similar to that of V2Ray and Hiddify (see
+above). Manual copy-paste from json config file is also possible. (customgeo not yet tested)
+
+#### Others
+
+[Here](https://github.com/xtls/xray-core) you can find an additional list of clients.
+
+### Tor
+
+Most of GUI clients are based on xray core, but do not fully support its configuration, that is crutial for Tor. To use
+[TorBrowser](https://www.torproject.org/download/) in this case, use bridges. To get a bridge, send a letter to bridges@torproject.org, then
+copy symbols after `obfs4` and paste them to TorBrowser bridge settings.
+
+### Bittorrent
+
+Bittorent protocol is blocked in the current configuration. Using bittorent on a VPS can lead to a ban from VPS provider.
+
+### What else
+
+#### Hints
+
+To choose a good `serverName` (your VPS will mimic this website), you can use [RealiTLScanner](https://github.com/XTLS/RealiTLScanner). This
+tool scans ip addresses near your server (do it not from your VPS!) and show names found at port 443. With `nmap -T4 hostname` you can check
+that only ports 80 and 443 are open on hosts of the found websites (as in the configurations of template configs). It is also good to move
+ssh on your VPS to a port beyond 1024. It can be done in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`. Check twice that VPS is available at your new port before
+you comment Port 22!
+
+```
+#Port 22
+Port 43210
+```
+
+#### Links
+
+Template configs contain comments and links and are a good start to find another interesting Xray configuration options.
+
+See [this link](https://github.com/EvgenyNerush/coherence-grabber) for details on how `customgeo` files are generated.
+
+[This article (in Russian)](https://habr.com/ru/articles/731608/) helped me to install XRay for the first time.
+
+The template configs are based on these [gRPC](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-examples/tree/main/VLESS-gRPC-REALITY)
+and [XTLS](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-examples/tree/main/VLESS-TCP-XTLS-Vision-REALITY) examples.
 
 [XRay config reference](https://xtls.github.io/en/config/) is brilliant and helped me much.

+# easy-xray
+
+*XRay - это просто*
+
+[(EN)](README.md) [(CN(todo))](README.cn.md)
+
+[XRay (aka ProjectX)](https://xtls.github.io/en/) - современное решение для обхода интернет-цензуры. Он - как прокси - позволяет проводить
+трафик через сервер (VPS) за пределами региона с цензурой, при этом подключение к серверу XRay выглядит как подключение к обычному сайту.
+Попытки обнаружения VPN, такие как активное зондирование [(active probing)](https://ensa.fi/active-probing/) или блокировка по правилу
+«блокируем все протоколы, кроме https», для XRay не страшны. Кроме того, сервер XRay можно настроить на открытие только "зарубежных"
+веб-сайтов, что предотвращает попытки обнаружения туннеля сайтами "домашнего" региона.  XRay (в случае использования протокола
+VLESS-Reality) не шифрует уже зашифрованный https-трафик, поэтому нагрузка на процессор невелика. XRay не нужно поддерживать соединение, и
+пользователям не нужно время от времени повторно подключаться к нему вручную. При правильной настройке клиента пользователям не нужно
+отключаться от сервера, чтобы перейти на большинство веб-сайтов "домашнего" региона.
+
+![схема: трафик до зарубежных сайтов идёт через сервер, а до домашних сайтов - напрямую с ПК](figs/xray-schematic.png)
+
+Помимо плюсов, у XRay есть и недостатки - например, сложная настройка и администрирование, что стало мотивацией для создания этого
+репозитория и скрипта `ex.sh`. Этот скрипт поможет
+
+- установить/обновить/удалить XRay
+- генерировать учетные данные и конфигурации сервера/клиента
+- добавлять/удалять пользователей
+- и т. д.
+
+### Как использовать на VPS
+
+Для начала нужно арендовать VPS сервер вне региона с цензурой (или попросить друзей заграницей сделать это). После на сервер нужно
+установить [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) и `openssl` - их можно найти в репозиторияx практически всех популярных Linux дистрибутивов.
+Затем скачайте `easy-xray` (всю директорию целиком), сделайте исполняемым файл `ex.sh` и запустите нужную команду. Используйте `./ex.sh
+help` для получения списка всех команд и короткой справки по ним. Для установки и настройки xray используйте `./ex.sh install` - эта команда
+предложит вам ввести ip-адрес вашего сервера, адрес сайта, под который ваш сервер будет маскироваться, и имена пользователей.
+
+```
+chmod +x ex.sh
+./ex.sh help
+sudo ./ex.sh install
+```
+
+В результате у вас появится директория `conf` с серверным конфигом, основным клиентским конфигом и конфигами пользователей. Серверный конфиг
+будет должным образом установлен, а xray - запущен с ним. Настало время раздать конфиги пользователям! Для многих графических клиентов
+удобно использовать конфиги в виде ссылок, которые можно сгенерировать командой `./ex.sh link user_config_file.json`.
+
+### Клиенты
+
+#### Linux
+
+Для подключения к XRay-серверу существуют клиенты с графическим интерфейсом, но о них чуть позже. На Linux удобно использовать сам XRay в
+качестве клиента.  XRay можно установить вручную, используя [официальный скрипт](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-install), после чего
+скопировать `customgeo.dat` в `/usr/local/share/xray/`. Другой вариант установить XRay и `customgeo.dat` - воспользоваться командой `sudo
+./ex.sh install`. Затем нужно скопировать клиентский конфиг с сервера и выполнить
+
+```
+sudo cp config_client_username.json /usr/local/etc/xray/config.json
+sudo systemctl start xray
+```
+
+или
+
+```
+sudo xray run -c config_client_username.json
+```
+
+XRay с текущим клиентским конфигом создаёт локальные http/https и socks5 прокси, которые могут быть прописаны в настройки Телеграма или
+браузера примерно так:
+
+![прокси в браузере: http/https прокси 127.0.0.1 порт 801, socks5 хост 127.0.0.1 порт 800](figs/browser-proxy-settings.png)
+
+Чтобы проверить, что трафик до "зарубежных" и "домашних" сайтов идёт разными путями, зайдите на
+[whatismyip.com](https://www.whatismyip.com/) и [2ip.ru](https://2ip.ru/). Они должны показать разные ip-адреса и локации.
+
+#### Windows
+
+Используйте [Nekoray (Nekobox)](https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/nekoray) - клиент с графическим интерфейсом. Релизы для Windows можно найти
+на [этой странице](https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/nekoray/releases) в разделе Assets. Выберите и скачайте, например,
+`nekoray-3.26-2023-12-09-windows64.zip`, затем распакуйте и запустите. Дальнейшее конфигурирование [описано здесь](Nekoray.ru.md).
+
+#### MacOS
+
+Используйте сам XRay:
+
+```
+brew install xray
+cp customgeo.dat /usr/local/share/xray/ # not yet tested
+sudo xray -config=config_client_username.json
+```
+
+#### Android
+
+Для многих мобильных клиентов вся настройка заключается в том, что нужно вставить конфиг-ссылку из буфера обмена, а после добавить сайты из
+customgeo в подходящей форме (см. директорию `misc`) в "прямые" маршруты (в `Settings/Routing/Custom rules/Direct URL` или что-то подобное).
+Приложения, которые были протестированы, перечислены ниже.
+
+Скачайте из Google Play [V2RayNG](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.v2ray.ang&pcampaignid=web_share),
+[HiddifyNG](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ang.hiddify.com&pcampaignid=web_share) или [Hiddify
+Next](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.hiddify.com&pcampaignid=web_share). Они очень похожи друг на друга, здесь есть
+инструкции для [V2RayNG](V2RayNG.ru.md) и [HiddifyNG (EN)](HiddifyNG.en.md).
+
+#### iOS
+
+Используйте [Straisand](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streisand/id6450534064). Конфигурирование аналогично тому, что описано для V2Ray или
+Hiddify (см. выше). Customgeo - ещё не протестирован.
+
+#### Другие
+
+[Здесь](https://github.com/xtls/xray-core) можно найти дополнительный список клиентов.
+
+### Tor
+
+В случае использования XRay в качестве клиента с текущей конфигурацией не должно возникнуть проблем. Однако большинство графических
+клиентов, хотя в качестве ядра используют xray, не дают полного доступа к его конфигурации. Из-за этого
+[Torbrowser](https://www.torproject.org/download/) не всегда может работать "из коробки". Если подключиться к сети Tor не удаётся,
+попробуйте использовать мост (специальный промежуточный сервер между вами и сетью Tor). Чтобы получить мост, отправьте письмо с любым
+текстом на bridges@torproject.org, затем вставьте из ответного письма символы после `obfs4` в настройки моста в Torbrowser.
+
+### Bittorrent
+
+Bittorent протокол блокируется в текущих настройках - использование bittorrent может привести к бану со стороны VPS провайдера.
+
+### Что ещё?
+
+#### Советы
+
+Для того, чтобы выбрать сайт, который будет видеть на вашем сервере цензор в случае атаки active probing (`serverName` в конфигах), можно
+воспользоваться утилитой [RealiTLScanner](https://github.com/XTLS/RealiTLScanner). Она может просканировать адреса, близкие к вашему серверу
+(делайте это с домашнего компьютера, а не с сервера!), и показать имена сайтов на них. С помощью команды `nmap -T4 hostname` можно
+проверить, что на выбранном вами сервере открыты только порты 80 и 443 (как в настройках xray здесь). Также неплохо выбрать далёкий порт для
+ssh вместо 22-го, если на выбранном вами сайте этот порт не открыт. Дважды проверьте, что по выбранному вами порту ssh вы можете зайти на
+сервер - только после этого закрывайте порт 22.
+
+```
+#Port 22
+Port 43210
+```
+
+#### Ссылки
+
+Шаблонные конфиг-файлы для сервера и клиента (`template_config_*.json`) содержат много комментариев, которые могут помочь в создании своей
+собственной конфигурации клиента и сервера.
+
+Шаблонные конфиги сделаны на основе этих [двух](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-examples/tree/main/VLESS-gRPC-REALITY) [примеров](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-examples/tree/main/VLESS-TCP-XTLS-Vision-REALITY).
+
+[Описание всех возможных полей XRay конфигов (EN)](https://xtls.github.io/en/config/) очень подробное и хорошо помогает.
+
+[Здесь](https://github.com/EvgenyNerush/coherence-grabber) детали того, как собраны сайты для доступа напрямую, прописанные в `customgeo`.
+
+[Эта статья](https://habr.com/ru/articles/731608/) помогла мне установить XRay в первый раз.
