The xray core is an encrypted connection proxy that helps to penetrate the censoring firewalls. Xray is a feature-reach fork of v2ray that is included in the OpnSense package list but is not updated and is not effective today. Xray is fully config-compatible with v2ray and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Maintainers of OpnSense pkg repo can consider obsolete v2ray version replacement with xray.
It supports state-of-the-art encryption and obfuscation tools to build custom network topologies and overcome traffic filtering. It supports
Shadowscoks, including Shadowsocks 2022
Socks
Vless/VMess

Traffic can be routed via CDN (Cloudflare) with the support of Websocket and gRPC transport.
OpnSense pkg repo fit
As Xray is a network security and penetration tool, it fits the core function of OpnSense. OpnSense already supports Shadowsocks (via plugin) and v2ray (obsolete pkg version). Including Xray in packages helps to mitigate security risks from obsolete packages and migrate to the state-of-the-art secure proxy as a drop-in replacement.
