Home Tab

The Home tab is your control center. It includes widgets to help you manage your network more easily — without leaving the main screen.

VX offers two home layouts. Tap the edit icon in the top bar to switch between them or change which widgets are visible.

Layout modes

Mode	What you get
Standard	Fixed structure with optional show/hide per widget
Customizable	Drag-and-drop layout, multi-column, per-subscription tiles

On phones, widgets stack in a single column. On wider screens (tablet/desktop), the standard layout splits into two or three columns.

Stats widgets

These four tiles sit at the top of the standard layout (or wherever you place them in customizable mode). They update in real time while connected.

You can congigure how often stats are sampled in the Setting page, default interval is 3s.

Tip: If all four stats widgets are hidden, VX stops the stats stream to save resources.

Upload

Shows current upload speed of all tunneled traffic in human-readable units (e.g. KB/s, MB/s).

Tap the tile to switch between the number and a history chart

Download

Same as Upload, but for download speed. .

Memory

Shows vx-core memory usage while the proxy is running.

It only show memory of the tunnel process, not the ui process. When you are connected, there are two process, one is tunnel process which handle all your network traffic, the other is ui process which is the opened VX application.

It typycally ranges from 30MB to 100MB.

Connections

Shows the number of active proxy connections handled by vx-core. Green accent color.

Current / Active Nodes

Label in the app: Current nodes or Active nodes, depending on state.

State	Title shown	Content
Disconnected (manual mode)	Current nodes	Nodes you have selected in the Proxy selector
Connected	Active nodes	Nodes currently being used

Each row shows:

Country flag and node name
Protocol type
Observed speed and latency
- Rate — Live throughput for traffic routed through this node (based on a small download sample, typically ~10 KB). Shown while connected; the larger, the better.
- Latency — Round-trip time for a response through the node, in milliseconds. Reflects current path quality, the smaller, the better.

Nodes helper

Label: Nodes helper (Recommended nodes).

A quick-pick list to find good nodes without browsing your full outbound list. Three tabs:

Tab	Shows
Speed	Top 10 nodes by last speed test
Latency	Top 10 nodes by lowest ping
Recent	Nodes you used recently

Tip: For each row, tap the stats data to trigger a speed and latency test.

Mode

Label: Mode.

Lets you switch the active routing profile with one tap. Each chip is a saved routing mode.

Hover/long-press default modes for a short description

To manage modes, click the Customize tab. See Customize.

Proxy Node Selctor

Label: Proxy.

A selector's job is to select nodes based on your preference. There is a default selector called Proxy.

It is used in the default routing modes to select nodes for proxy traffic.

Proxy Node Selector is special because it supports manual mode: you select the nodes to use in the Node page by toggling switches. Other selectors do not support this mode.

See Node Selector for detailed explanations of a slector.

Inbound

Label: Inbound.

Choose how traffic enters vx-core on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux):

Option	Behavior
TUN	System-wide capture via virtual network interface
System proxy	Sets OS HTTP/SOCKS proxy to localhost

Not shown on Android/iOS — those platforms always use the TUN mode.

See TUN Mode.

Subscription

Shows a widget for your most recently added subscription or starred subscription.

Tip: Click it will update it.

See Subscription Management.

Customizing the home screen

In custom layout, you can add more subscription widget and selector widget, you will see the button when you right click a subscription card or clicking the menu of a selector widget.
