In plain English

2dust/v2rayN is a graphical client application for managing proxy connections on Windows, Linux, and macOS. A proxy acts as a go-between that routes your internet traffic through a different server, commonly used to access content that might be restricted in a given region. This client supports several proxy protocols including Shadowsocks, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, and SOCKS5 (all listed in the project topics), and works with the Xray and sing-box proxy cores. It is written in C# and provides a point-and-click interface for configuring and switching between proxy servers, rather than requiring users to edit configuration files by hand.
