# Obfuscation with V2Ray on iOS

<div markdown="1" class="notice notice--warning">
Obfuscation with V2Ray on iOS is currently in beta.
</div>

VPN obfuscation is a technique that masks VPN traffic to make it appear like standard internet traffic, helping to evade detection and bypass internet restrictions or censorship.

When using WireGuard we offer the powerful V2Ray proxy protocol. It is available in two variants, you may find one is more performant and/or reliable depending on multiple variables relating to your location and the path your traffic takes to the VPN server. We recommend experimenting with both variants.

* VPN protocols: WireGuard
* V2Ray protocols: VMESS/QUIC, VMESS/TCP
* Single and multi hop
* WiFi network interface

## Limitations and known issues

* V2Ray does not work on mobile/cellular networks
* When switching WiFi networks, VPN needs to be manually reconnected
* Before connecting VPN + V2Ray, VPN without V2Ray needs to be connected; app does this automatically when V2Ray is enabled
* App might fail to connect in the following cases:
* When using MultiHop
* When changing servers while the VPN is connected
* When switching QUIC and TCP protocols while connected
* WiFi and cellular networks

### Will V2Ray obfuscation stop websites from detecting a VPN connection?

Disabling keep-alive will not result in any data leak outside of the VPN, as the on-demand rules will automatically re-establish the VPN tunnel before any network traffic starts on the device. Keep-alive, when on, makes sure that the VPN tunnel is active even when the device is in sleep mode. By disabling it, the VPN tunnel is reconnected only when the device needs to make network requests. Disabling keep-alive will improve battery consumption when the device is in sleep mode, but the drawback is you might experience occasional slowdowns due to wake-up reconnections.

If security is not your primary concern and to preserve the battery power, consider disconnecting from the VPN connection when not in use or when your device is sleeping.

Alternatively, you may try the [WireGuard VPN protocol](/knowledgebase/general/wireguard-faq/), which was proven to provide higher performance while causing less stress to the battery.
