### How it works
With current configs, *XRay* creates a [grpc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRPC) tunnel between the client (your laptop, phone etc.) and
the server (your VPS). For the censor the tunnel looks like a usual connection to a site. The server responses to https requests as some
popular site thus it is not suspicious for an active probing. On the client side *XRay* creates a socks proxy which can be used by your
web browser, telegram or TorBrowser like that:

Reality* protocol that obfuscates traffic and in our case imitates [grpc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRPC). For the censor the tunnel

Note that there is no additional encryption layer in VLESS; using it you rely on the encryption that the browser (Telegram app etc.) makes.
### Other clients
For Windows, MacOS or Android you can try Nekobox, v2rayNG or ? (TODO): tests and config generation for them.
### Acknowledgements
[This article (in Russian)](https://habr.com/ru/articles/731608/) helped me to install *XRay* for the first time.
[XRay config reference](https://xtls.github.io/en/config/) is brilliant and helped me much.
[Configs](https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-examples/tree/main/VLESS-gRPC-REALITY) on which the template configs are based.
