About VMess WebSocket TLS

VMess WebSocket TLS adds TLS encryption on top of WebSocket transport. Compared with non-TLS WebSocket, it is usually better for privacy and production-like HTTPS-style traffic.

Protocol note: Compared with VMess WebSocket without TLS, this variant adds TLS and is usually more suitable when you want HTTPS-style secure transport.

Before you start: prepare your RaceVPN VMess WebSocket TLS account, keep the connection information ready, and make sure your internet connection is active before importing or connecting.
