      @Sergei_Shablovsky I had a look at their website, it's that one?

      Could you share what makes them better than others or better: how did you come to that conclusion?

      The app seems neither open source nor existing for very long, it's based in a country (Turkey) I wouldn't trust the government.

      They claim to keep no logs (lots do) and double-VPN.

      At the end of their terms of service is written

      "Please note that this is a sample and should be reviewed and customized according to your specific needs and requirements. It’s also recommended to have a lawyer review your terms of service before publishing them."

      ... a badly edited template of a terms of service.

      Privacy Policy:

      "Data Sharing

      We do not share your data with any third parties, except in the following circumstances:

      • To comply with a legal obligation or court order"

      ... you want to trust a company which may have to comply with their government, especially theirs?

      And further down:

      "Jurisdiction and Governing Law

      This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of USA. Any disputes arising from this policy will be resolved in accordance with the laws of USA."

      ... well, that sounds trustworthy.

      I probably ended on the wrong website.

          @w0w I found that too, yes. But that's not X-ray VPN, right?

            Some kind of analog, not as a paid service, but as functional client-service software.
            I think it's about this one, not the one you've mentioned.

              Hmm, it does seem kinda shady!

              There's no FreeBSD port as far as I can see, though there is one for v2ray which this was forked from.

              You are asking about adding it as a client to connect to the xrayvpn service only?

              I'm not really seeing any advantages over existing VPN options TBH.

                In some countries, this package is absolutely necessary in pfsense.
                I found these instructions
                But the topic has stalled there. Is there any way to adapt these instructions for pfsense?
                Or could someone explain to the newbies where all these IP addresses come from?

                  I stay away from any of the so called "privacy" VPNs, especially those promoted by YouTube shills.

                  "If you are not paying for the product, you are the product."

                    I still don't see how this is any better than any other existing VPN provider?

                      You're lucky you don't live in such a country.
                      Other VPN providers (protocols) are blocked.

                        Hmm, so the novel protocol used here bypasses state-level filtering?
