V2Ray / Xray protocols

VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, and TUIC are proxy protocols from the V2Ray/Xray ecosystem. Each takes a single Connection URL: paste the full share link, and TunnelHQ tests it with the Xray or sing-box engine.

Paste the share link into Add monitor. TunnelHQ detects the protocol from the link, and the text after # becomes the monitor’s name.

Field Required Details
Connection URL Yes The full share link.

To add many links at once, or to follow a provider’s subscription URL, use Import monitors.

A lightweight, stateless protocol, often paired with Reality or XTLS.

Connection URL
vless://<uuid>@vpn.example.com:443?type=tcp&security=reality&...#My-VLESS

The original V2Ray protocol. Share links are base64-encoded JSON, which TunnelHQ decodes for you.

Connection URL
vmess://eyJhZGQiOiJ2cG4uZXhhbXBsZS5jb20iLCJwb3J0IjoiNDQzIiwicHMiOiJNeS1WTWVzcyIsLi4ufQ==

Makes traffic look like ordinary HTTPS.

Connection URL
trojan://<password>@vpn.example.com:443?sni=example.com#My-Trojan

A widely used encrypted SOCKS5 proxy.

Connection URL
ss://<base64(method:password)>@vpn.example.com:8388#My-Shadowsocks

The older form, with the whole address base64-encoded, works too: ss://<base64(method:password@host:port)>#name.

A QUIC-based protocol designed for lossy networks. Links starting with hy2:// work too.

Connection URL
hysteria2://<password>@vpn.example.com:443?sni=example.com#My-Hysteria2

A QUIC-based protocol with low handshake latency.

Connection URL
tuic://<uuid>:<password>@vpn.example.com:443?congestion_control=bbr#My-TUIC

For VLESS and Shadowsocks, the most common failure is Tunnel established - Internet is stuck, followed by Tunnel unreachable.

  • Tunnel established - Internet is stuck: the proxy connection worked, but traffic through it didn’t reach the internet. Check the server’s outbound routing, its DNS, and whether its outbound traffic is blocked.
  • Tunnel unreachable: the connection didn’t come up. Check that the server is running, that the host and port in the link are reachable, and that the link’s credentials and transport settings (such as security, sni, and type) match the server’s.

What a failed check says lists every failure message.
