   So now to Run V2Ray Core Client
   First, access the Target with:

   cd $HOME/v2ray-linux

   Rename the default Config using:

   mv $HOME/v2ray-linux/config.json $HOME/v2ray-linux/config.json.bak

   Next make a New Configuration File with nano Editor:

   nano $HOME/v2ray-linux/config.json

   And append something like:

   {"inbounds": [{"port": 1080, "listen": "127.0.0.1","protocol": "socks","settings": {"udp": true
   }
   }],"outbounds": [{"protocol": "vmess","settings": {"vnext": [{"address": "[YOURREMOTESERVER-IP]", "port": [YOURREMOTESERVER-INBOUND-PORT],"users": [{ "id": "[YOURREMOTESERVER-ID]" }]
   }]
   }
   },{"protocol": "freedom","tag": "direct","settings": {}
   }],"routing": {"domainStrategy": "IPOnDemand","rules": [{"type": "field","ip": ["geoip:private"],"outboundTag": "direct"
   }]
   }
   }
   

   Just Replace [YOURREMOTESERVER-IP], [YOURREMOTESERVER-INBOUND-PORT], and [YOURREMOTESERVER-ID] respectively with IP, Port and ID in the above JSON chunk.
   To Setup your private V2Ray Server see the Next Step or else you may search the Paramenters of an available one.
   And for Local Inbound Port you are free to change the default “1080” like you prefeer.
   Ctrl+Shift+v to Paste into nano.
   Last, Ctrl+x to Save & Exit from nano Editor.
   Finally, launch your Fast V2Ray Core Client with:

   ./v2ray -config ./config.json
