nekoray went archived in late 2024 with a "find alternative yourself" notice. Made lurkbyte/ray. v0.7.0 went public yesterday.
What's there:
- WFP kernel-level kill switch (the one Throne rejected three times - same architecture Eddie/AirVPN and WireGuard-Win use)
- Per-app VPN bypass that actually works under both cores (sing-box `process_name` + WFP per-process permits)
- Always-On: persistent block survives crash, reboot, forced power-off. Emergency-unlock utility ships with the installer
- Xray-core upgraded 1.8.4 > 1.8.8 - `leastLoad` balancer + `burstObservatory`, so Marzban "Auto / Best server" profiles load and route correctly
- Marzban / 3X-UI / Remnawave subscription import (XRAY-JSON arrays, `internal-full` mode preserves balancers / observatory / freedom outbounds verbatim)
- Both Xray and sing-box bundled (Xray default - never dropped the way nekoray 4.0 did)
- Popup-free upgrade-with-running-RAY on Windows 11 24H2/26100 (no `0xC0000142` CSRSS cascade)
