Setting up a REALITY-based Xray backend for the Greater China region is a great fit for me, since bypassing DPI reliably really comes down to getting the REALITY handshake and SNI camouflage exactly right. For Phase 1 I'd install and harden 3x-ui on your Ubuntu server, configure VLESS + REALITY to borrow a legitimate TLS fingerprint (masquerading as a real high-reputation site so DPI sees ordinary traffic), add routing rules to block BitTorrent/P2P, and set per-user speed caps for free tiers. For Phase 2 I'd wire a Telegram bot (or basic Android app on the v2rayNG/Xray core) to the 3x-ui API for automated account creation, with Adsterra monetization for free users. I test real throughput and stability before handover, and I'm genuinely keen on the long-term partnership. I can start right away.

Hi, you’re building a test-phase VPN stack that needs to be stable, low-cost, and ready for future growth. I understand the priority is a working MVP: 3x-ui on Ubuntu, Xray/VLESS/REALITY setup, basic traffic controls, and a simple user-facing layer for automation. I’ve worked on Linux-based proxy and VPN deployments, including Xray core configuration, panel setup, routing rules, and API-driven user management. For the frontend, I can build either a lightweight Android client around open-source Xray/v2rayNG cores or a Telegram bot, depending on what is fastest for your pilot. My approach is to get the backend solid first, verify the tunnel behavior, add P2P blocking and speed caps, then connect the app or bot to 3x-ui for user provisioning and monetization. If you want a practical MVP delivered cleanly, I’m ready to help. Best regards, Gabriel

Hi, I'm interested in your project and can complete it within a day using Xray-core, VLESS+REALITY, 3x-ui, and Telegram Bot API. Setting up a GFW-resistant node with REALITY handshake camouflage and automated user provisioning through the 3x-ui panel is exactly the kind of pilot I've built before for private VPN operators entering the China market. I'll deploy Ubuntu + Xray with REALITY pointed at a legitimate high-reputation SNI (avoiding common flagged domains), configure iptables/nft rules to drop BitTorrent/P2P signatures, and apply tc-based traffic shaping for the 1Mbps free tier. For user management I'd lean toward a Telegram Bot over a custom Android app for this test phase — faster to ship, easier to iterate, and avoids Play Store review friction while you validate demand. It talks to the 3x-ui API for client creation/expiry and can gate access via Adsterra links. One thing worth flagging: REALITY's effectiveness depends heavily on SNI choice and cert rotation — I'll handle that carefully to avoid early blacklisting. Ready to start immediately and structure this as a foundation for the long-term scaling work. Best, Emrah

Treat the numbers above as rough placeholders for now. We will firm them up once we have a short chat about your setup and exactly what you need for the MVP. We have gone through the brief carefully. You're building a commercial VPN targeting Mainland China, HK, and Taiwan, which means the stack has to actually work against the GFW, not just "support VPN". That means proper REALITY fingerprint spoofing, solid uTLS config, and a frontend that doesn't scream "VPN app" to app store reviewers or deep packet inspectors. The goal is a clean, working MVP for the test phase, with a foundation that holds up as you scale users. Here's how we'd approach this: - Backend / 3x-ui panel: Deploy and harden 3x-ui on your Ubuntu server, tune the Xray core for VLESS + REALITY with a short-domain REALITY handshake target that holds up against SNI probes. - GFW bypass config: Set routing rules to handle the quirks specific to mainland traffic, block BitTorrent/P2P at the Xray level, and wire up speed caps per user tier using 3x-ui's API hooks. - User management layer: Integrate the 3x-ui API so user creation, expiry, and bandwidth limits are automated, either via a Telegram bot or a thin Android wrapper around the v2rayNG/Xray core. - Android app (if chosen): Package using the open-source Xray core so it connects out of the box, with a minimal UI and Adsterra integration for free-tier monetisation. - Testing: Verify tunnel behaviour against real GFW conditions, not just a local proxy test. After a quick scope call to confirm your server specs and which frontend direction you want to go, we'll put together a written proposal with milestones and a firm price. Want to jump on a short call this week to walk through it? Best, 96 Studio
