OneXray brings a graphical Xray-core client and advanced routing to Windows
Manage Xray-core proxy configurations through a graphical client that imports server configs, edits raw JSON, and monitors real-time traffic. OneXray, from YuanDevLLC, targets privacy-minded desktop users and network administrators seeking a GUI alternative to command-line tooling. Key capabilities include support for VLESS/VMess/Trojan/Shadowsocks/Reality protocols, a Smart Routing system for regional and service-based rules, and both a Microsoft Store VPN-integrated build and a standalone executable for advanced setups.
What does OneXray do?
The app acts as a GUI front end for Xray-core, letting users import custom server configurations, manage subscriptions via HTTPS and Remnawave links, and edit Raw JSON in Expert Mode with field hints and error markers. It supports core protocols including VLESS (with Reality), VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, SOCKS, and XHTTP transport, so it accepts configurations intended for Xray-core without requiring manual command-line edits.
Does it slow down your system during routing and monitoring?
OneXray integrates with the Windows system VPN provider in the MSIX build and uses system tray controls for daily operation, which reduces the need for elevation during runtime. Real-time connection monitoring shows upload/download speeds, traffic statistics, and node latency tests, enabling users to observe CPU and network impact rather than guessing performance during scans or transfers.
Is it safe to use on a production machine?
The developer enforces a zero-tracking policy: no accounts, no telemetry, no ads, and no crash reporting, and the app is open-source under GPL-3.0. For users who modify system network routes, Expert Mode exposes full JSON editing; that mode shows error locations, which helps avoid malformed configurations before they write changes to the system.
Do I need technical knowledge to operate OneXray?
The app serves both advanced and less technical users: Smart Routing automates domain, IP, port, network, and protocol decisions with GeoData suggestions, while Expert Mode provides direct JSON control for power users. The presence of a Microsoft Store version using the system VPN provider offers a lower-friction path, whereas the standalone build is clearly aimed at experienced users who supply their own server configs.
Clear choice for privacy-focused users who can manage their own server configs
OneXray suits privacy-conscious individuals and administrators who need GUI control over Xray-core routing and protocol selection; it reduces command-line work while leaving configuration ownership with the user. The main trade-off is that it is a client-only tool and does not provide servers or subscriptions, so users must obtain compatible configurations from their chosen providers before the app provides value.
