Download the latest version of V2RayN from GitHub - V2RayN.
After downloading, extract the zip file to a location you’ll remember.

Setting Up and Running V2RayN

1. Run the V2RayN Client

Navigate to the folder where you extracted the V2RayN files and double-click on v2rayn.exe to start the application. The program will launch and an icon will appear in your system tray.
