Is v2rayN a perfectly secure VPN client?

Since I have to run v2rayN with admin privileges in Windows, I’m a little worried.

Is there any chance that v2rayN could be collecting or sending sensitive data to whatever VPN provider I’m using? I’m not self-hosted.

If trust is an issue, might as well just use the official v2fly windows build:

If you live in a country that could put you in jail or torture you, maybe it’s better to be safe than sorry

AFAIF the admin privilege is needed for the creating the virtual network interface

On Windows, does admin privilege allow an app to do almost anything?

So if you grant an app admin rights to create that virtual network interface, can it also be programmed to use their admin privileges to do lots of other things?

Almost yes. But if you are so worried, use the open source nekoray

Edit: v2rayN is also open source

Could you send a Github link? There pop up several v2rayNs when I search…
